This game promises to send shivers down my spine or at least leave me feeling uneasy as I delve into a mansion that’s hiding more than just hidden mysteries.

As an enthusiastic admirer, let me share my excitement about the captivating game, Dead Take. With its live-action gameplay, big-name celebrities, and intricate brain teasers,

Does it have a release date?

Dead Take doesn’t have a release date; it only says “coming soon” on any listing for the adventure.

Trailer

In a brief but eerie sneak peek, publishers Pocketpair unveiled the initial teaser for Dead Take, offering a quick look at the ominous mansion and hinting that it will arrive shortly.

In response to revealing the main cast for Dead Takes, Surgent Studios unveiled a fresh trailer, emphasizing that the game centers around psychological terror as you navigate through a distinctly eerie mansion.

Cast

As revealed in the game’s second trailer, we know that the two main characters will be:

  • Neil Newbon as Chase Lowry
  • Ben Starr as Vinny Monroe

They’ve both been cast as Willie, but it remains unclear what this role entails or how they will portray the same character.

Fans are familiar with Neil Newbon through his roles as Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Karl Heisenberg in RE Village. Ben Starr is widely recognized for portraying Clive in Final Fantasy XVI, Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and more recently, Dorian in Date Everything.

Gameplay & story

Although only a limited number of trailers have been released, the specifics about the gameplay are still largely unknown, but we do possess some insights into the storyline’s details.

In this scenario, participants are assigned the challenge of locating their absent acquaintance, Vinny. Since it’s been impossible to reach him following an extravagant gathering held the previous night, you decide to investigate at the venue he was last seen – a grand mansion.

Upon entering the mansion to locate your friend, you encounter deserted movie setups, shattered private theaters, and a surplus of mysteries involving tampered video clips waiting for editing and hints about the true events that unfolded within this manor.

While you’re trying to figure out what transpired and uncover secrets whispered about in entertainment circles, the house seems to watch over you, giving off an eerie feeling.

As a gamer, diving into Dead Take’s world, I’m bracing myself for an immersive psychological horror experience. The gameplay is filled with spine-tingling moments, intricate puzzles, and a chilling mansion that seems to hold its secrets tightly. What makes it even more intriguing is the ability to assemble live-action video clips to unravel the eerie events that have transpired.

Think Blue Prince, but horror.

Platforms

At this time, Dead Take can be found exclusively on PC, as suggested by the trailers that outline its Steam compatibility.

As a fellow gamer, I can’t wait to see if this game will make its way onto consoles or the potential Switch 2. At the moment, it’s unclear whether it will run smoothly on Steam Deck. Keeping my fingers crossed for more updates! If anything changes, rest assured I’ll share the news right here, so stay tuned!

While you wait, don’t forget to explore other thrilling games on the horizon, such as Mafia: The Old Country, Borderlands 4, Silent Hill (yet to be named), and Phantom Blade Zero.
