ABOUT THE GAME
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, also known simply as House of Ashes, is a 2021 interactive drama and survival horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the third installment in The Dark Pictures Anthology, after Man of Medan (2019) and Little Hope (2020). Like earlier games in the series, House of Ashes features a cast of five playable protagonists and a multilinear narrative influenced by player choice. The game's decision-making scenes, of which there are several, can significantly alter the trajectory of the plot and change the relationships between the main characters. Due to these choices, any of the five protagonists can die permanently.
House of Ashes was released for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 22 October 2021
