The House of Frozen Souls is a 1st person horror game made on the Unity engine. The game was released on 2/22/2014, though is no longer being worked on.
This is a good indie horror game. Atmosphere is great and the sound design is very good.
The graphics are in the slightly pixelated style that is very popular at the moment and, though I doubt the Unity engine was stretched by this game, they are pleasing to look at and add to the overall feel of the game.
The story is simple - you're a lost school boy in Idaho trying to figure out what's gone wrong. You are dropped into the world and told to find 8 balls and to avoid the creature with red eyes. It's very Slender-esque, but that doesn't turn out to be a bad game. That style and genre has worked very well and I'm a big believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". This game utilises the basic model well, but with it's own style and twist and atmosphere which set it nicely apart from Slender. It borrows ideas, but it certainly isn't a clone.
From the very first moment I was accosted by the unearthly screaming of some terrifying, unknown creature away in the mountains in the distance. The howl died away leaving only the crunch of my feet on the snow and the whistle of the wind. And, at one point, even that stopped, and there was something even scarier about the silence, so the sound and atmosphere are the major pluses about this game for me.
The only complaint I would really have is that the objective of collecting balls seemed to have little to do with the opening exposition all text, so it felt odd and a little arbitrary, and some more direction could be needed but a lot of others don't like too much direction in survival horror so it's a personal preference thing.
All in all, a good game that with one or two tweaks could be a real corker. Would love to see and HD graphic upgrade, personally, but it's very good as it stands and worth a play :)
