In
House of Ashes, the upcoming third game of the Dark Pictures Anthology, players get to work their way through another short but intense multiperspective horror narrative. The game’s protagonist is Rachel King, a Marine played by High School Musical’s Ashley Tisdale.
House of Ashes is about King on a mission in Iraq in 2003.
Polygon recently spoke with the anthology’s executive producer Dan McDonald and saw some narrative and gameplay footage from the upcoming installment. Rachel’s situation quickly gets complex; her ex-husband shows up while she’s in a new relationship, her team is searching for WMDs that never existed, and they get ambushed. The fight awakens something supernatural that pulls both the American and Iraqi fighters down into an underground ruin from Sumerian myth.
