What players say
Murder House, how to ruin a game Murder House delivers what is expected from Puppet Combo, a solid slasher type horror game with a basic but engaging premise of an Easter Bunny slasher villain. The gameplay mostly consists of Resident Evil type gameplay and a few scripted sequences. I went in really impressed with the sequence of a child lost in a mall at night, alone.

Sometimes, it's too far. I think, after this, I'm done trying random scary indie games. The puzzles are somewhat interesting, and pretty easy. There's a lot of running back and forth. There are one or two actually scary jumpscares, but overall its extremely derivative of Silent Hill... I'm not exaggerating. Half of the puzzles are just ripped STRAIGHT out of SH1 and 2.

no real gameplay to speak of, not tense or scary, boring and easy puzzles, juuuust long enough to make you play for more than 2 hours. do not waste your money on this game.
