Saturn Mode is a game mode used in both the Sega Saturn and Microsoft Windows ports of The House of the Dead. It allows for the original game to be played as one of six selectable characters. Each character has their own damage values, reload speed, and other attributes.
AMS agents Thomas Rogan and G, the protagonists of the original game, are playable, in addition to alternately-dressed versions of themselves named Rogan 2 and G 2. Supporting character Sophie Richards and a DBR researcher can also be selected.

Trivia[]
- During development of The House of the Dead, Rogan 2 and G 2 were originally AMS agents who arrived at the Curien Mansion before Rogan and G. In addition, the DBR researcher who is killed at the start of the first chapter was originally Rogan 2 with a beard. This change was presumably because players may not recognize the Rogan 2 character. [1][excerpt 1]
- Sophie, Rogan 2, and G 2 are playable in The House of the Dead's arcade version via secret codes inputted when the player inserts a credit.
- This mode is called PC Mode on the Windows port of the game.
