House of Hell (Standalone)

Step into a nightmare you cannot easily escape. House of Hell (Standalone) brings the dread of the famous horror adventure to modern PCs and Macs. Originally written by Steve Jackson in 1984, this edition lets you seek shelter in the Earl of Drumer’s malevolent mansion, where the outside storm is only the beginning of your peril. Inside, corridors twist into traps, rooms hide sinister presences, and the deadliest danger comes from the fear that gnaws at your courage. Survive long enough to uncover the mansion’s secrets, and perhaps you’ll stumble into a way out before the dawn—and your nerves—collapse under the pressure.

This Standalone edition is a faithful, fresh take designed to feel both classic and contemporary. It is presented in full colour and uses a physics-based dice system to resolve battles, patrols, and peril with tactile, cinematic weight. You’ll see your journey unfold through an auto-updated adventure sheet and built-in stat keeping, so you can focus on atmosphere and decision-making rather than tedious record-keeping. The experience is tightly themed to the original mood, delivering the same sense of creeping dread and high-stakes choices that made the book a landmark in its genre.

Inside the mansion you’ll confront a gallery of horrors—ghosts, ghouls, and zombies—each encounter shaped by your choices, your gear, and the ever-present tension of fear. The outside storm rages as a constant reminder that safety might be illusory: tonight is a night to remember, and your every step could bring you closer to both revelation and ruin. Keep an eye on your FEAR points, because too many and you may be scared to death, losing grip on your chances of escape.

The Standalone edition is specially themed to suit this haunting journey, offering a self-contained experience that respects the source material while leveraging modern presentation and tools. It’s designed to stand on its own, but if you also own the Fighting Fantasy Classics library, you’ll find a related option—note that purchasing one format does not unlock the other and re-purchase may be required if you want the alternate edition.

  • Standalone edition for PC and Mac with full colour visuals.
  • Realistic dice-based combat and resolution for a tactile, cinematic feel.
  • Auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping to track progress, injuries, and skills.
  • Atmospheric horror set inside the Earl of Drumer’s mansion, populated by ghosts, ghouls, and zombies.
  • Classic tension and danger balanced with modern presentation and accessibility.
  • Original legacy rooted in Steve Jackson’s 1984 vision, reimagined for today’s players.
