The Dark Pictures Anthology released the latest addition to the series with House of Ashes. This is the third in what is planned to be a total of eight installments. It’s available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of standalone and branching cinematic horror games, which has been designed to offer a new and terrifying experience. Each game in the series offers a new story, a new setting, and a new cast of characters. Those who think they dare to face the horrors can take on the story along with single-player mode. However, if that’s too scary, there’s the two-player online shared story and even the movie night mode which allows for a maximum of five players.
What does the new game offer? House of Ashes is set in Iraq, sometime in 2003. While looking for weapons of mass destruction in the Zagros mountains, Special Forces are suddenly attacked. They fight back but this has resulted in a tremor where the two sides fall into what appears to be the ruins of a Sumerian temple buried under the ground.
With no way to communicate to the outside world, the protagonists are trapped in a terrifying underworld where they need to escape. They are not alone since an ancient and evil shadow has awakened and is now looking to hunt for prey.
The story follows the five members of the Special Forces as they team with their enemies to survive whatever is lurking in the dark.
In a statement, Bandai Namco Entertainment America Brand Manager Kristeen Laut shared that the series has been known to immerse players in a narrative adventure brimming with suspense. She added that they are excited for players to experience the latest story and all the frights.
