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

Never turn down grim dark.

Oh my. Who would've thought, after Lorelai, this game has an actual gameplay, almost like an adventure with some elements of survival horror.
Story and characters lack plausibility and i'm not talking about "another world" stuff. It's a solid game but it is kinda... mild. Almost no shock content and no gripping music or interesting plot devices previous titles are known for and art is a bit generic. Don't get me wrong, it is a good game but it is not so good "Michalski's game". Cat Lady is still the best.
A fucking drug lab in a fucking farmhouse basement and the owner didn't notice a single fucking thing? He must be really fucking blind, deaf and senile. WTF this? "Dexter's Laboratory" on Cartoon Network??

funny you should mention that while praising Cat Lady, nobody noticed Dr X's secret funhouse? the pest control guy's shed?
