House of Sorrows
by Phoenix, HSM team writer and videographer
In 2011, Juggernaut Games brought us their terrifyingly wonderful creation, Cutteridge Estate. Cutteridge was a house dark with spirits, unable to find rest. It was a house rife with mystery and sadness, which Home users embraced with excitement and eager glee. Home users had personal spaces of every sort available to purchase, from sunny beach-front spaces, to raucous carnival spaces, to luxury racing boxes and gritty post-apocalyptic spaces. But there was nothing like Cutteridge Manor in Home. Home’s residents were enthralled with the unknown eerie space.
Everything about Cutteridge was intriguing: with its rainy, dreary, oppressive atmosphere, the space was a sprawling Victorian mansion that had no doubt seen happier days — or had it?
What was the mystery behind the manor house? Those that purchased the space fell in love with the unknown. Ideas and story lines arose, none certain, all possible. Then Juggernaut gave us the history of Cutteridge and it was everything we had hoped. The story of Jasper, the corn field and the fate of the family was tragic and stirring. But did it end there? Had it even begun there? Is the end of Juggernaut’s history of Cutteridge Manor all there was to it?
Suppose there was more. Suppose there was a history to the house before or after those disappearances?
Cutteridge Estate:
Built on the plateau of a widow’s cliff, the family seat Cutteridge Manor; home to an old blue-blooded clan. A family cursed for the misdeeds they’d wrought upon others. Madness and mysterious disappearances, unnatural deaths, secrets and the truth, all plague this noble family. The possible story of one member of this family is chronicled here. Madness or reality, or perhaps both — at Juggernaut’s Cutteridge Manor.

I think Cutteridge is one of the most creative best-built spaces in Home. I haven’t bought it and probably never will because I don’t like horror stuff. Alas, because it’s really well done.
