Song of Horror Episode 1 Gameplay Walkthrough

Protocol Games and Raiser Games released Song of Horror on the Steam store for PC gamers back on October 31st, 2019. The third-person, fixed-camera Lovecraftian horror title will probably make its way to home consoles such as the PS4 or Xbox One in the near future, but for now PC gamers are the only ones with access to the title. For those of you looking for a little help in completing the puzzles and avoiding certain dangers, there’s a Song of Horror Episode 1 walkthrough available.

YouTuber CJUGames covers the entire first episode of Song of Horror, which you can check out below.

The game starts with a cinematic featuring a music box that opens with some tentacles coming out of a black mist before it’s closed shut.

You start with the British character, Daniel Noyer.

You can play the game with a keyboard and mouse or with a controller.

The mechanics are similar to the old Resident Evil games with the sluggish tank controls and fixed cameras.

Song of Horror Episode 1 - Daniel's Apartment

Examine the apartment, and go into Daniel’s bedroom. When you exit the bedroom you’ll receive a phone call. Pick up the phone and a short cinematic will play revealing that Sebastian Husher has gone missing.

Once the cinematic ends you end up at Husher’s house.

If you’re playing with a controller, the left trigger is to run while the left bumper is to open the inventory. The right trigger is to activate the character’s light source.

The light source doesn’t run out of batteries/fuel so you can keep them on for as long as you need.

When you get finished examining the outside garden, head through the front door and you can further examine Husher’s foyer and hall.

Go into the room at the far end of the hall on the right to examine the living room. There’s another room to the right of the sitting room’s entrance that leads to the dining room.

There’s a note on the door. Read it.

When you get done reading the note, go through the door that leads into the study and there’s a second door with black ooze around the edges.

Go inside.

Another cinematic will play.

The game will then allow you to play as four other characters, including Sophie van Denend, Daniel’s ex-wife; Etienne the liaison for the publisher of Husher; Alexander, the caretaker of Husher’s place, and some Mexican chick named Alina Ramos.

Keep in mind that this game has permadeath.

If you screw up and die… that’s it, the character will die.

Be sure to listen to the doors before entering into them because if you hear anything on the other side, DO NOT go into the room.
