This is all the stuff that in one way or another was tackled in the previous titles. But that, in my opinion, is its main problem. All the boxes are ticked – the cinematic direction, the dark topics, the supernatural, everything you expect from Harvester Games is here. The artwork is great, the music and sounds are refined to the point of them almost being unnoticeable (in a good way), the voiceacting is almost spotless, the core gameplay is polished and the dialogue is the most human-sounding out of all 5 games released so far. It is almost devoid of the rough edges that were accompanying their previous titles. And it’s a bit of a shame, because Burnhouse Lane is by far the most polished game from the studio. Having finished this game i feel like Harvester Games’s games are running around in circles, or, to be blunt, stagnating. Just look at my play-time! I can’t recommend this game enough. Rem is a mastermind of horror and telling a narrative tale that will entrance you for hours. Gorgeous art, incredible music, characters you can’t help but love. I thought I might not be able to stand listening to myself, but the story is so wonderfully spun that I was immediately immersed.

HOWEVER! I’ve played through the entire ‘Devil Came Through Here’ triology, and I’ve been a fan of Rem’s games for close to a decade. Burnhouse Lane mixes elements of classic adventure games, choose-your-own-story (Telltale’s The Walking Dead series) with light survival horror shooting mechanics inspired by Silent Hill and Resident Evil series where ammo is sparse, enemies hit hard and every shot counts. This is a story about death, friendship and everlasting hope that no matter how bad things get there is always a reason to go on. Solve puzzles, make friends and enemies, run, hide and fight in this dark adventure that’ll take you on a trip to another world and back… From Harvester Games, the makers of The Cat Lady (2012), Downfall (2016) and Lorelai (2019), comes a brand new horror experience that will not only take you to some truly dark places but will also make you smile and cry and question life and all the things we take for granted. Burnhouse Lane tells a story of Angie Weather, a one foot in the grave agency nurse attempting to complete five impossible tasks in order to win her life back.
