Critic Reviews
Enter the mausoleum -- The Charnel House Trilogy review
The Charnel House Trilogy is a great rainy afternoon pulp horror game, with just enough creepy imagery and top-notch atmosphere to mull over in the days after. It ends up feeling like a short, albeit exciting, prologue to a great adventure game.

Inconsistent, confusing, with tedious conversations and over-hyped by the voice-acting cast, The Charnel House is quite a disappointment. Although it will creep you out, the trick to do so feel cheap and shallow.
