Creation
A short version of the adventure was first published in Warlock: The Fighting Fantasy Magazine. Originally 185 references, the adventure was modified and expanded for the final title.
The American edition of the book, published by Dell Laurel-Leaf, was re-titled House of Hades as the word 'Hell' can be considered a profanity in the United States.
Rules
As with titles such as Appointment with F.E.A.R. and Sword of the Samurai, House of Hell utilizes an additional game mechanic - in this instance "Fear Points", which the player will occasionally accrue. If the player accumulates too many Fear Points, then the story ends as the player has apparently been scared to death.
Story
House of Hell is a horror scenario: trapped in a haunted house, the hero must survive skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and vampires.
At first a guest, the player, discovers the house is home to Satan-worshippers and various monsters. Gameplay is initially devoted to finding a means of escape, although after finding a series of clues the player must first defeat the evil presiding over the house.
