Bark Bark Games' HOUSE Saga Is Going Physical
Lost In Cult is pressing both horror games together in a limited run of 2,500 copies,
Lost In Cult continues to do its unholy work with new preorders on HOUSE 1 + 2, a physical edition that drops Bark Bark Games' horror game HOUSE and its sequel HOUSE 2 in a single box for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The limited edition versions are limited to 1,000 copies on PS5 and 1,500 on Switch, alongside a standard Retail+ version, with prices starting at £34.99. All feature, according to the announcement, art from Chris Rats.

Rats is part of the two-person team Bark Bark Games, along with Isaac Nite, who also wrote the music. HOUSE started its life as a game jam submission on Newgrounds in 2016 before jumping to Steam in 2020. The player is Tabby, with the unfortunate task of living through a single night in a haunted house that's attempting to kill her entire family. HOUSE 2, published by Glowstick Entertainment, came out on Steam on August 28, 2026, and traded the first game's pixel art for a hand-drawn storybook style.
Lost In Cult's Editions line packages bear its signature additions of a slipcase, poster, art cards, and an essay booklet about the game's history. The edition sits beside Lost In Cult's 1,500-copy release of Caves of Qud, that Danny and I talked through last week.
