Song of Horror is an episodic survival horror game developed by Protocol Games and published by Raiser Games. The story focuses on publisher Daniel Noyer who is sent by his editor to investigate the disappearance of acclaimed writer Sebastian P. Husher and his family. Arriving at their mansion, Daniel becomes embroiled in a plot involving a cursed music box controlled by a deadly entity known as the Presence, which kills anyone who listens to its music. Daniel, with the help of other characters, sets out to uncover the mystery surrounding the Presence and its music box, and to save himself from its grasp.

Song of Horror was developed by the Spanish studio Protocol Games.

The game received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. The character Erica Färber was positively received by both fans, resulting in her return as a playable character in episode 5.
