The House of the Dead (2012 video game)

The House of the Dead is a 2012 first person shooter video game and a reboot of the House of the Dead series.

Plot
In December 2008, AMS agent Thomas Rogan receives a desperate distress call from his fiance, Sophie Richards, from the home of Dr. Roy Curien, a world renowned but now disgraced geneticist and biochemist. Shortly thereafter, Rogan arrives at Curien's mansion with his partner, known only as 'G' and the two enter the house.

The duo soon find that the entire property has been overrun with hellish beasts. They fight their way through the home, slowly uncovering the secrets behind the chaos. Curien's son Daniel had contracted a fatal disease, leading Curien, who had also recently lost his wife, to become obsessed with the secrets of life and death. As such, he began to experiment and with his projects funded by a shady corporation, he accidentally gives way to a deadly uprising of his creations.

Rogan and G eventually manage to save Sophie from her demise at the hands of one of Curien's monsters, before being confronted by the doctor himself. As he begins to rant and rave, he unleashes his final creation; The Magician, shaped in the image of Curien's son Daniel. However, Curien is unable to control his creation and the Magician promptly slays him before attacking Rogan and G. After being fatally wounded, the Magician gives them one final, chilling warning before the entire mansion begins to burn down. Rogan, G and Sophie manage to safely escape as Curien's home goes up in flames.

Sequels
The game was followed by The City of the Dead in 2014 and The Land of the Dead in 2017.
