The haunted house is a horror trope as old as scaring people itself. Tales have existed for hundreds of years of naïve people daring each other to visit these abandoned houses. And then – shock horror! – that house isn’t as abandoned as they once thought when spirits and other ghouls come to scare them. This next game is a perfect example of this. Silenced: The House is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
As Ashley, you and your friends have decided the only way to celebrate a friend’s birthday is to head to the haunted house on top of the hill. I’d prefer a quiet drink with a few friends, but you do you, Ashley. As things take a turn for the spooky, Ashley and her friends must survive the night and perform a ritual to rid the house of the spirits within. If not, they may end up spending a lot longer than just the one night there.
Silenced: The House is a horror visual novel featuring a bunch of attractive teenagers, a haunted house, and ghosts and ghouls. If ever there was a recipe for a horror film, we have almost every ingredient right there. Just as well that it is coming out for Halloween, when all manner of scary things will be happening.
