    Burnhouse Lane offers a gripping and disturbing plot in which I was emotionally invested from the beginning. Charming characters, a creepy artstyle with some dashes of gore and distressing scenes accumulate for a unique horror story. Despite some clunkiness in controls along the way, the mechanics are simple, as are puzzle solutions. The moral complexities throughout create various outcomes for the game, making it tempting for a second playthrough. Also I don't think I mentioned, there are cats.

    Having the freedom of an anthology format allows Burnhouse Lane to play with multiple horror ideas, with some notable successes. While I wish it had more of a throughline and fewer overdone horror tropes, Burnhouse Lane does contain a few fresh ideas for lovers of gore. For everyone else? I doubt it’s worth the struggle.
