The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is another fun horror romp from Supermassive games. This game is quite a jump in quality from other games in the franchise. The narrative development is attractive, the scenario is engaging, and the conclusions will give you goosebumps. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3476370012 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3476933298

It's basically a horror B-movie and a choice-your-own-adventure book at the same time. I loved it so much that I immediately started a second playthrough to explore different options and get everyone out alive. There are plenty of clichés, tropes, and oh-my-god-I-totally-saw-that-coming… moments, but for what it lacks in originality it certainly makes up for in execution. The story had me hooked and the pacing was just right. Also, I'm a sucker for a good enemy-warriors-forced-to-team-up-and-become-friends story, so I made sure my boys Salim and Jason ended this tale by riding off into the sunset together. There's one thing that I can't quite put my finger on though: House of Ashes is the least scary horror game I've ever played. It can be spooky, ominous, and even gory but aside from the very few jump-scares that this game has I've rarely ever felt a hint of fear. And I can't exactly claim to have nerves of steel. So take from that what you will: this game might not get your adrenaline and cortisol pumping, but it does offer a neat horror flick for a small price.

9/10. By far the best entry of the series so far. Great story, amazing atmosphere, interesting characters and overall just a really good game. Definitely recommend.

Best of the Dark Pictures, they did Ashley dirty with that game model but the story was very good with some awesome characters and development.

Sept. 2024

HoA is pretty damn great. Price is a little steep when one run can take 5ish hours. But there are so many permutations to check out, which can lead to more replays. And the graphical quality is great. Even just a couple bucks off would make it worth it, regardless. Only real complaints are how stiff your characters can feel during the walking sections (not the end of the world) and how eye-rolling the love triangle stuff was (thankfully pretty infrequent). This is my favorite episode of Selim the Vampire Slayer. 9/10
