About This Game

The house is dark. Your flashlight is dying.

Something laughs in the ballroom beneath Grisewood Manor. You have a pistol, a failing flashlight, and however many rooms you can survive on the way down.

THE HOUSE ON GRISEWOOD is a top-down gothic horror shooter about limited light and limited resources. Every room is black until you sweep it. Walls swallow your beam, corners hide what's waiting, and the battery counting down in your hand is the only reason you can see at all.

Light is a resource

Your flashlight carves a narrow cone through the dark, and it does not last forever. Switch it off to save power and the manor closes in around you. Leave it on and you will be blind when it matters. Batteries are scavenged, never guaranteed.

Every shot is a decision

Six rounds in the revolver and a slow reload. A shotgun if you find one, and shells if you're lucky. Ammunition is scarce enough that running is often smarter than fighting — and knowing which is which is the difference between life and death.

The things in the dark are not all the same

Shamblers press forward without stopping. Grinners lunge from beyond your light. Weepers freeze in your beam and move the instant it leaves them. Something tall breathes in rooms you haven't reached yet. Learn what each one does, or learn the hard way.

Descend

Nineteen rooms of a rotting manor — library, chapel, conservatory, crypt — connected in ways that don't always make sense. Find your way down to the ballroom and end what's laughing there.

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL MODE

Sealed inside the Grand Hall with the doors boarded shut. Waves arrive out of the black and never stop coming. Scavenge rounds, batteries and bandages from supply caches scattered across the floor — which means leaving the corner you're hiding in. Survive as long as you can, then go again.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The House on Grisewood is a horror game and contains sustained frightening content.

Violence and gore: The player uses firearms against humanoid supernatural enemies. Combat produces visible blood spatter, pooling blood on the floor, and blood trails tracked underfoot. Enemies are depicted as emaciated, disfigured human figures. There is no dismemberment or graphic anatomical detail, and the art style is low-resolution and stylized rather than photorealistic.

Horror and startle content: The game is played almost entirely in darkness with a limited flashlight, and is designed around sudden appearances of enemies at close range. It contains jump scares, screen-shake, brief red screen flashes when the player is injured, and distressing audio including screaming, crying, laughter, and breathing. Players sensitive to sudden loud noise or abrupt visual shifts should be aware of this.

Themes: The setting involves a haunted house, death, and the implied deaths of previous occupants. The player character can die, and death is depicted on screen.

The game does not contain sexual content or nudity, sexual violence, drug or alcohol use, self-harm, suicide, or violence against children. There is no profanity.
