The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is a 2021 interactive drama and survival horror video game with sci-fi and action horror elements developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the third installment in The Dark Pictures Anthology, after Man of Medan (2019) and Little Hope (2020). Like earlier games in the series, House of Ashes features a cast of five playable protagonists and a multilinear narrative influenced by player choice. The game's decision-making scenes, of which there are several, can significantly alter the trajectory of the plot and change the relationships between the main characters. Due to these choices, any of the five protagonists can die permanently.

Ashley Tisdale stars as the game's leading actress, portraying a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) field officer named Rachel King. Set during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the story focuses on five characters—four Americans working for the US Armed Forces and one Iraqi working for the Iraq Republican Guard—who fall into a subterranean Akkadian temple after the two parties clash during an ambush countering a US military raid. The protagonists must find a way out of the ancient structure and cooperate, together with their adversaries, to outmatch the vampiric entities that infest the area. The proverb "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" serves as the game's central theme.
