Dead Take Review
Dead Take's setting feels familiar, but its atmosphere, performances, and clever storytelling make it one of the year's most memorable horror games.
Everyone has had dreams that feel a little too much like real life, and that's the kind of the vibe I got jumping into Dead Take, the latest psychological horror game from Surgent Studios. After making waves with Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, the developer has seemingly taken a hard left turn into something much darker, far stranger, and deeply meta. You play as an actor named Chase Lowry (Neil Newbon) who wakes up in a mansion in Hollywood after a party gone wrong. His friend Vinny Monroe (Ben Starr) is missing, and the only clues are found on corrupted video files scattered throughout the mansion. It's part haunted house, part film school fever dream, and it's a story worth witnessing, unraveling, and being an integral part of.
