Description
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.
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. 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.

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.

  • Adventure-style inventory puzzles,
  • Branching dialogues and decisions that shape how the story plays out
  • Light platforming and combat sections
  • Original soundtrack by micAmic and guests
  • Full English voice acting

If you enjoyed Burnhouse Lane you could try our previous games including the critically acclaimed The Cat Lady:

Good game, not their best

Burnhouse Lane started out as The Cat Lady 2, and it shows. They tell us this in a letter included in the Extras section. They also tell us it's their most ambitious project yet, something that's also obvious, considering how graphically more polished Burnhouse Lane is, compared to Rem's previous work. That being said, it feels like the lesser game. Unlike the first Cat Lady (one of my favourite games ever), we get an info dump right at the start, something that we would have discovered alongside Susan, in the first title, by playing the game with her and keeping her company. We don't know (or, to be honest, even care about) this new protagonist, and they just tell us a bunch of stuff right from the start that could have happened to Susan Ashworth but it's less impactful. Then we go on our mission, we are obviously a nurse, since Rem apparently can't make a single game that's not about nurses or includes a nurse at some point (I loved it in The Cat Lady, but you have to stop at some point, right?), we make a deal with some otherworldly figure that isn't as interesting as the Queen of Maggots from the previous games, just a version of the Cheshire Cat from American McGee's Alice and, just like in the first game, we are charged with punishing some rotten souls in order to save ourselves from lung cancer, because this game is basically an enormous anti-smoking ad. As for the gameplay, it's OK, plays like the other games, they included some platforming that's not perfect but at least it's... serviceable? I'm all for devs trying out new things in their games, but maybe try stuff you're actually good at developing, next time? micAmic's music is good, but the choices of background music in some parts are really bad and do not set the right tone for the moment. That's it. If you're a fan of Rem's games, get it; otherwise, just stick to The Cat Lady and Downfall Redux (maybe Lorelai, even though... meh). Not much in this, that you wouldn't get from the previous titles.

A flawed masterpiece

I was a bit reluctant to give this game 5 stars at first, as it has some really flaws that would be hard to forgive for any lesser game, but in the end the good parts were just so amazing I did it anyway. The aspects of the story that delve into the psychological world of our protagonist and those that show the development of her relationship with other characters, are just amazing. Seldomly has there been better writing in a video game. On the other hand, much of the real-world plot is super-clichéd, very unbelievable and somewhat immature. At some point I just decided to ignore these parts that were just off. Gameplay is generally solid, though there are some exceptions. Most puzzles are logical and just right in terms of difficulty. The action sequences are ok, but there are definitely too many of them. Usually just the threat that something dangerous might be around the corner would be sufficient to keep you paranoid. I like Resident Evil, but shooting half a dozen zombies in a row is not what makes Harvester games appealing. The auto-save mechanism with only one save is really annoying, as is the fact that some minor mistakes can prevent you from getting the perfect ending. I advise to keep several saves by backing up the save folder manually, and in case you do not intend to replay, to look up the conditions for the games "golden ending". Atmosphere is amazing throughout and this is also what easily pulls you through some of the more annoying parts of the story and gameplay. Sounds, music, voice acting, graphics - they are all perfectly on spot. The graphics style might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the devs have perfected their kind-of-2D-sidescrolling-semi-realistic art style they introduced in The Cat Lady. Sometimes the same scenes are lighted very differently depending of which part of the game and what situation you are in. All in all, a great game that I can only recommend.
