The Wiki of the Dead



For the level of the same name in Zombie Revenge, see The House of the Dead (episode).

The house of the dead (終焉, shūen?) is the fourth and final chapter in the 1996 rail shooter of the same name, and its 2022 remake.

Synopsis

After killing Hermit, AMS agents Thomas Rogan and G follow Dr. Curien into his laboratory. On their way in, they defeat a revived Chariot and Hangedman before entering the final room with Curien and his DNA-editing machine, the BioReactor.

Curien vows that he cannot be defeated before releasing his "masterpiece", Magician, from the BioReactor. Upon awakening, the Magician refuses to follow Curien's orders, killing him with a fireball. Rogan and G battle the Magician outside the laboratory, who attacks them relentlessly, but manage to kill him.

As the Magician explodes, he leaves them with a final warning, "You haven't seen... anything... yet!", before he is completely destroyed.

Their mission completed, Rogan and G leave the laboratory, bidding Sophie and Curien farewell.

Trivia

  • According to The House of the Dead's developers, Magician was originally a "perfect", angel-winged being who could not be defeated. Dr. Curien, atoning for his actions, would have hugged Magician, who self-destructed. There was also a scrapped bad ending in which Magician flew away and the world was destroyed.[1][excerpt 1]
