The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes

House of Ashes is the third installment in The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series of standalone cinematic horror games where your decisions determine the story and outcome. During the final days of the Iraq War, a Special Forces unit hunting for weapons of mass destruction discovers a buried Sumerian temple and the ancient horrors dwelling within it. Trapped underground, soldiers and their enemies must work together against creatures that threaten them all. Your choices throughout the game influence character relationships, available actions, and whether the group lives to see daylight.
