The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is a 2021 interactive drama and survival horror video game 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.

Many gameplay mechanics from the series' earlier games, such as quick time events (QTEs) and collectable "pictures" that allow players to see visions of possible future events, return in House of Ashes. The title introduces features, such as a more interactive camera system and three difficulty levels to manage QTEs. With a soundtrack created by the series' composer and Supermassive Games's long-time collaborator Jason Graves, the game contains major influences from various media texts. The developers looked at several works, including the book At the Mountains of Madness and the films Predator and The Descent, to draw inspiration for their story.

House of Ashes was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 22 October 2021. House of Ashes garnered mixed reviews from critics, being compared with Supermassive Games' previous work, including the 2015 video game Until Dawn, and was dubbed a "step in the right direction" for The Dark Pictures Anthology. The multiplayer modes, and choice-and-consequence system were praised and critics said the story and characters improved in quality compared to earlier games in the series. Technical problems with the gameplay and the visual design of the monsters, such as bugs and glitches with textures and animation, frequently drew criticism. Its sequel, The Devil in Me, serves as the final title in the series' first season.
