The player controls a group of American military personnel whose goal is to investigate suspicions of an underground chemical weapons facility. However, upon arrival at the site, an earthquake leaves them buried under the rubble of a Sumerian temple full of bloodthirsty creatures.

In our opinion, this is the best game in the anthology. if you liked Before dawnbut didn’t like it very much The Man of Medan e Little hopemaybe this is a good opportunity to give a chance to a new game in the franchise. Below we have listed five reasons why you might want to play it.

5. Support for local and online multiplayer.
The offer of multiplayer campaigns in the gaming industry is small. However, in House of Ash, up to five different people can play locally at the same time, each controlling their own character. This is a great opportunity to gather friends in front of the TV to share your fears.
You can also share the game online, but only with a friend. Thus, everyone controls a separate group of people. In moments of action, the game itself requires long cinematic pauses in order to switch the character controlling the screen.
4. Dark and Lovecraftian atmosphere.
House of Ash recalls some famous films while gambling. The main thing is Abyss of fearwhere characters go deeper and deeper underground and sneak along dark, cramped corridors. Other links Alien, eighth passenger e predatorbut we won’t explain them to avoid spoilers.
However, the biggest link quoted by director Will Doyle is In the mountains of madness, Book H.P. Lovecraft, 1936. The story follows a scientific expedition to Antarctica in which the group finds evidence of civilizations long before humanity.
The tension and fear that someone is behind you is constant, especially if claustrophobic to some extent. But the game also knows how to alternate them with good action moments and some scary jump (when something comes out of nowhere to scare).
3. More charismatic and realistic characters.
How we commented on our preview, anthology Dark pictures always brought up characters a bit like … stupid. They always said unnecessary things in the wrong places and brought up silly conversations even at the risk of death. V House of Ash, this has improved a little.
Each character has a distinct personality (sometimes even stereotyped), but they are much cooler and more “realistic” than in previous games. Even when influenced by emotion, they are not like teenage children. Some NPCs (non-player characters) still look a little silly, but the game gives them the ability to make beautiful “cuts” on them, which is very nice.
Another positive feature of the game is that the game does not conduct US military propaganda, that is, it does not position the Americans as the “good guys” of the war or the Iraqis as heartless monsters. On the contrary: one of the playable characters, Iraqi Salim, is the most charismatic and lovable in the game. He is just a father who wants to get out of this conflict as soon as possible in order to find his son and wish him a happy birthday. Sometimes it is even the most rational part of the game, giving the idea of joining forces against common evil. After all, “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”
2. It has multiple endings (and ways to kill characters).
What kind House of Ash it is a game of choice and quick events (you have to quickly press the buttons that appear on the screen), the fate of your characters can change in a matter of seconds. All it takes is one wrong decision or button to put your life in danger.
But, of course, this is not easy to do. The decisions you make at the beginning of the game have long-term consequences – some manifest towards the end of the story. Sometimes the game itself prompts the player to betray, abandon, or attack their teammates; So relax and think twice before taking any action.
Since the game is relatively short, about five hours, it is interesting to replay it with different decisions. This way, you can unlock scenes, dialogues and even deaths that were not in the first game.
1. This is Ashley Tisdale!
In supermassive games, there are always large world stars. Before dawn it involves actor Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody, Mr robot). The Man of Medan, and de Shawn Ashmore (Boys, X-Men – Movie); already Little hope, and de Will Poulter (Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Midsommar – Evil does not wait for the night).
With House of Ash, it could not be otherwise: one of the main characters is played by Ashley Tisdale! Yes, the iconic Shar Pei from High School Musical… Unfortunately, she is not accompanied by Lucas Grabeel, the actor who played her brother Ryan … that would be everything to us.
Ashley plays Rachel King, a CIA field officer. The character’s characteristics are “dominance” and “harshness”, that is, she always seeks to control the situation and act carefully, without showing emotions or weaknesses.
In an interview with BANDAI NAMCO, the game’s distributor, she revealed that House of Ash was his first work in the horror genre. And I must admit: she did it! The actress introduces one of the smartest and most practical characters in the game. Watch the interview below (subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese):
Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes was released on October 22nd for Playstation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox one, Xbox X series, S series e PC.
