Surgent Studios, the award-winning team behind Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU, and Pocketpair Publishing have released today the official behind-the-scenes video for Dead Take. The critically acclaimed psychological horror game launched on July 31 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store and received positive reviews from critics and the gaming community.
“One of the finest horror experiences”
"One of the most harrowing I've experienced this year"
“Escape Room Enthusiasts Will Love This Haunting New Game”
Set in a luxurious yet secluded Hollywood Hills mansion, Dead Take casts players as an actor (Neil Newbon as Chase Lowry) searching for his friend (Ben Starr as Vinny Monroe) gone missing after a lavish Hollywood party. As they navigate escape-room-style puzzles and splice together live action videos they find along the way, players will uncover the darkest secrets behind the entertainment industry’s glittering facade.
Dead Take is available now on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Players can follow Surgent Studios on X, Bluesky, Instagram, and visit the website for more details.
