House of Lost Souls

House of Lost Souls wants to be a thoughtful exploration of grief wrapped in a psychological horror experience. In some ways, it succeeds—it captures the emotional weight of returning to a place that holds nothing but pain. But the game can’t get out of its own way. For every genuinely creepy moment, there’s a broken door. For every emotional payoff, a badly delivered monologue. This is a haunted house game built on a good foundation—but one that desperately needs more time in development, better writing, and fewer ghost screeches.
