TwinfiniteChaz MillerApr 20155/5Exploring themes of horror, personal relationships, and personal agency, The Charnel House Trilogy weaves a fantastic tale that is well-written, and relatively well-acted. As more and more of the truth started to become clear nearing the game's conclusion, I found myself completely drawn in.

Sirus GamingDave AcunaApr 20158.4/10Nevertheless, The Charnel House Trilogy gave out a thrilling ride that started out slow and eventually picked up pace until everything went crazy. Personally, I do not mind if the game gets a sequel as the trilogy felt like it was just a glimpse of what is more to come. I do recommend to those gamers that aren't really fond of horror games, like me, to try out this game as its scare factor is quite bearable and that it is dwelling more on unravelling the mysteries of our protags, the train, and Augur Peak.

CGMagazineLiana KerznerApr 20154/10The Charnel House Trilogy takes too long to get going and doesn't go very far when it does. Most of it is a dead bore.

GameGrinApr 20154/10Inconsistent, 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.
