Our take on DarkHouse

The defining structure is a reverse ritual assembled from seven objects scattered through the psychiatric clinic and nearby park, with patient files supplying information about what to find.

What is DarkHouse?

DarkHouse is a first-person survival horror game set in a psychiatric clinic and a nearby park.

Sophia, a night nurse, arrives to find that a ritual has summoned a doctor from Hell. The doctor patrols the clinic, while hellish spiders and wolves threaten the surrounding areas. Progress involves exploring the locations, reading patient files for information, and finding seven ritual items. These objects are used to perform a reverse ritual intended to banish the doctor to the Netherworld. The game uses a semi-open-world structure rather than a typical corridor layout. Nightmare mode adds a stated hardcore challenge. The supernatural threats and ritual investigation form the central gameplay structure.

How DarkHouse plays

01Seven Ritual Items: Patient files provide information about the objects needed for the reverse ritual.
02Clinic And Park: The ritual objects can be found both inside and outside the psychiatric clinic, including in the nearby park.
03Multiple Enemy Types: The pursuing doctor is joined by summoned spiders and dangerous wolves.
04Nightmare Mode: This mode provides the game's stated hardcore challenge.
