About The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
Lead a squad of soldiers through a buried Sumerian temple filled with deadly creatures, where your split-second choices determine who survives the night and shape branching story outcomes. Team up with enemy factions to escape the underworld in this cinematic horror game that supports solo play, online co-op, and pass-the-pad multiplayer for up to five players.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of standalone, cinematic branching horror games where the decisions you make in the game determine the story and the outcome you receive.
House of Ashes is the third game in the series.
In House of Ashes, at the close of the Iraq War, Special Forces hunting for weapons of mass destruction unearth something far deadlier – a buried Sumerian temple containing a nest of unearthly creatures. To survive the night below, they must forge a brotherhood with their enemies from the world above.

- Navigate the underworld and escape a terrifying threat
Fight your way out of a buried sumerian temple against hordes of deadly monsters that have claimed you as prey.
- The enemy of your enemy is your friend
This time, your crew is composed of 2 opposing factions that rarely see eye to eye. Can you put aside your character's rivalries to fight together as one ?
- Don't play alone
The two critically acclaimed multiplayer modes are back. Share your story online with a friend or aim for safety in numbers through the offline 5-player pass-the-pad mode.

8/10. It was a big improvement from the last game, free camera and free to use flashlight is introduced. finally i get everyone alive again. the story also takes a very different turn right now, more like horror action movie. the tense in the final scene or any of it with 5 characters is sooo good. i think this one will be my fav from 3 series i've played. The story really take enemy from my enemy is friend. I think it's showed humanity can unite when there are other opposing force. ((with spoiler)) in intro i thought i will face ancient eqypt horror and mysterious... but, at first half i kinda mock the game like it's going to be like doom / half-life etc?? AND IT WAS as the story progress, it was crazy for me because the 2 previous game did not went with this concept. Final reveal as Rachel get infected really turns the story around. the character development is so great. In my playthrough everyone survived, Rachel is back with her husband Eric. Nick is having his head clear and not full of regrets again, Jason went from full marine that didn't tolerate enemy soldier to become Salim best buddy. then MY GOAT SALIM, slayer of 5 monster. he was so bad ass and become the interesting c…
This is the 3rd Game I have played in this series, for me starting of this game is slow and confusing at some points, but as it you go with the story you can understand the life of soldier of any country which they are going through which make the game new emotion to understand and you get relate to the story when you near to complete 1st play through and for me Little Hope was the best game till now but who know other game has better story now i am going the season finale ie Devil me in let's see how it will take me to suggest other
Easily the best game this studio has made since Until Dawn. While not a very scary game, the plot is genuinely interesting, some great choices you have to make, and actually good themes that are well developed and characters. In the other two Dark Pictures games, I really didn't truly care about any of the characters, save for one or two. I actually did like the characters in this one. All of them flawed, but redeemable and there's actually real tension between characters. Additionally, the ending is pretty good. Again, you've probably seen most of this type of horror before, but it still feels interesting, mixing up a bunch of different genres where it isn't just a ghost ship or witch story (from the last two games), to where it just feels really cool. Easy 8/10. Could've worked on some of the visuals at the start, and is a bit tedious to replay.
Good spooky fun
play it for Salim <3 after having played the other two dark pictures games up until this point, i have to say that house of ashes was not what i expected. you get quite a lot of replay value out of these games because there are so many choices you can make. if you enjoy this kind of game, you'll enjoy this one.
The best in the series, all of the characters are really fun and interesting and the story takes a narrative turn that while jarring ends up being extremely entertaining and fulfilling. All choices you make feel meaningful especially in multiplayer where many actions affect other characters. I recommend anyone looking for a good horror story and memorable characters to play this game.
