3.0 / 5.0

Murder House pays homage to the 80s slasher horror films and therefore features sloppy writing, characters making terrible decisions, and tons of gore and blood. The game is presented in a PS1 era type of early 3D graphics with fixed camera angles (although the game does feature the option to play it as first person).

Unfortunately the camera angles are not fully fixed and have a cinematic dynamic movement trying to convey the use of a movie/security camera feel to the presentation (a la RE Code Veronica) therefore creating this wobble effect that can induce motion sickness. I was only able to handle this game in shorter sessions, but other than that the gameplay is decent and it's set in such a way that the game does not hold your hand. Chase and enemy encounter sequences are very effective and create a very tense horror atmosphere.
