Surgent Studios, the award-winning team behind “Tales of Kenzera: ZAU,” and Pocketpair Publishing have officially revealed Surgent’s second title: “Dead Take.” The upcoming horror game about power and corruption in the entertainment industry is now available to wishlist on Steam.
“Dead Take” is a first-person psychological horror game where players take on the role of an actor in search of a missing friend. The search leads you to a dark, opulent mansion, your friend’s last known location. Haunted by mysterious humanlike figures, you advance into the house by solving object-based puzzles and splicing together the video clips you find along the way. Oddly quiet for the site of a glamorous party just hours before, the house is now populated by the figures that seem to turn up where you least expect them.
As you advance toward the heart of the mansion, the fate of your friend rests in your hands. Peel back the entertainment industry’s glittering facade to expose its darkest secrets, and uncover the truth about what happened at the mansion the night before.
The game is said to be a gripping narrative experience featuring an impressive lineup of actors, which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
“We’re being secretive for a reason,” said Surgent Studios’ CEO, Abubakar Salim. “The subject matter of this game is delicate, and it hits close to home. When it comes out, and it won’t be long until it does, I want players to think, ‘I can’t believe they actually did this.”
“Dead Take” is set to launch this year on PC via Steam.
