The beauty of this game is that you never know what is around the corner and just how each decision is important to the next.
As you travel, sometimes you will have nothing but the light of your gun or a lighter to guide you through the maze-like structure. The characters find themselves strewn across this temple which is half cave and half architectural wonder. I’ll leave the rest to the imagination but let’s just say they aren’t alone down there. An all-out battle ensues when the ground gives way and most of the people above ground are thrown into the darkness of an ancient Sumerian temple. While on the other side of the argument, we have Iraqi soldiers trying to defend their land, and finding themselves in the crossfire. Without giving too much away, the main plot revolves around a group of Marines and CIA operatives heading into an Iraqi base in 2003 where they believe Saddam Hussein has chemical weapons stored.
Who doesn’t wanna have Ashely Tisdale, who plays CIA officer Rachel King, yell at you while in a cave? There are also some recurring actors from New Hope as well. The cast and narrative are well put together and although there is some spotty dialogue at times, everything flows very nicely. The difference from its predecessor (in my opinion) is that this story is far more involved and kept me engaged the entire time. Very much like its predecessors, the game follows a character choice-based narrative with QTE action sequences that affect the multiple outcomes of the plot. All thanks to the brilliantly crafted House of Ashes from The Dark Pictures Anthology.ĭeveloped by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, House of Ashes is the third installment in the series and oh boy does it deliver. Then, I was sent a game to review, and all of sudden I was cast into the dark abyss of nightmare fuel, and yes the dreams are back. Luckily, as years have gone by and many adventure games such as Uncharted and Tomb Raider have provided these lovely experiences, I thought I got used to the notion. For a couple of days, I had the same claustrophobic nightmare that I was trapped in a dark tomb and a mummy was following me around each corner. Like many, I was spellbound by the creepiness of the entire thing but especially the amount of time the characters spent walking around an ancient and dark tomb. When I was little, I remember watching The Mummy (1999 film) for the very first time.
