The vicious ruler once angered Enlil, God of Storms, a deity that cursed his lands. In House of Ashes, you quickly discover that this underground area is the location of an ancient Akkadian temple, one built by Naram-Sin. Apart from these five personalities, you’ll also encounter the rest of the supporting cast, such as Clarice (Eric’s assistant), Merwin (another marine), and Dar (Salim’s commanding officer).Īs with previous games in the anthology, there’s more to the story than meets the eye. There, they meet the fifth playable character, Lieutenant Salim Othman of the Iraqi Republican Guard. While the team is searching for chemical weapons in a village, an earthquake causes the ground to collapse, burying them deep underground. Two marines, Lieutenant Jason Kolchek and Sergeant Nick Kay, are also part of the squad. You meet playable characters such as CIA Officer Rachel King (played by Ashley Tisdale) and Rachel’s husband, US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Eric King. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is set during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Unfortunately, there were also a lot of issues that I encountered during the course of this review.

Learning from the lessons of previous titles, Supermassive Games hopes to provide a thrilling experience from start to finish. That brings us to House of Ashes, the latest installment in The Dark Pictures Anthology. Ever since Until Dawn (2015), we’ve looked forward to what developer Supermassive Games has to offer. My wife and I absolutely enjoy narrative-driven horror games.
