## About Murder House

Murder House, developed and published by Puppet Combo in 2020, is a survival horror game styled after PS1-era graphics and grainy VHS aesthetics, in which the player evades a masked killer. Tank controls, limited saving, environmental storytelling and puzzle-solving reinforce the retro slasher feel, with boss encounters that involve exploiting the killer's patterns. Reviewers describe the PS1-style graphics as authentic, the environmental storytelling as building dread naturally, and the tension as unrelenting. Spanning indie and adventure genres, it holds a 95% positive rating across 1,383 Steam reviews. The game costs 11.99 USD and is Verified on Steam Deck. A challenging, tense single-player horror title for fans of low-fidelity, retro-styled scares built around evasion and pattern recognition rather than firepower.
