Towards the end of the Iraq War, special forces searching for weapons of mass destruction discover something far deadlier: a buried Sumerian temple that houses a nest of ancient and terrifying creatures. To survive the night underground, they must forge an alliance with their enemies in the world above them. House of Ashes is part of The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series of standalone, cinematic horror games known for their gripping storytelling and unique multiplayer modes. Each game is influenced by real events—whether fact, fiction, or legend—and features its own distinct story, setting, and characters. Every game in The Dark Pictures Anthology delivers a cinematic horror experience that can be played solo or in multiplayer modes: "Shared Story" - share your gaming experience online with a friend, and "Movie Night," where up to five players can play with just one controller that is passed around. Dive into the dark abyss—find your way through an underground labyrinth to escape the eerie creatures that hunt you. The enemy of your enemy—will you secure your own survival or set aside your fears and personal rivalries to fight together? Don't play alone—play with a friend online or with up to five friends offline, share your story, and cooperate cleverly to save your team.
