The House of the Dead is a rail shooter light gun game. Players
use a light gun (or mouse, in the PC version) to aim and shoot at
approaching enemies. The characters' pistols use magazines, and are
required to reload once each magazine is empty. A set of torches next to
the magazine of each player represents remaining health. When a player
is hurt or shoots a civilian, one of their torches is removed,
signifying damage. A player is dead when all torches are lost. A player
may then continue by inserting more credits, if playing on an arcade
machine, and pressing the "continue" or "start" button. There are
first-aid packs available throughout the game that will restore one
torch. These are found either in the possession of civilians that the
player has rescued or inside breakable objects. Similarly, there are
also special items located in breakable objects that will grant a bonus
to whoever shoots it.
