|Article = The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
|Purpose = The image will be used in the article's gameplay section to demonstrate a core feature of the work, the decision-making mechanic. It depicts an example of an in-game dilemma in which the player's choice of action will significantly shape the course of the story, namely the decision to abandon an infected ally. The distinct visual elements present in the screenshot, such as the circular button prompt, the button borders that illustrate the passage of time, or the anatomical drawings of the brain or heart to symbolise rationality or empathy, cannot be conveyed properly through words alone. Thus, a screenshot will help enhance readers' understanding of the commentary on the work's gameplay.
|Replaceability = The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
|Minimality = The screenshot appears only once and in the specified article only, particularly in the article's gameplay section. Only a small snippet of the original game is used, and the screenshot is resized to be of low resolution.
|Commercial = The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
|Other information = Use of the screenshot in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
