Pocketpair Publishing and developer Surgent Studios announced a release date for Dead Take, their new psychological horror game.
Dead Take is set to launch later this month, on July 31st for Windows PC (via Steam).
“Dead Take is about actors. So we needed actors who’ve lived it,” said Abubakar Salim, Creative Director of Dead Take in a press release. “It’s a game about the high of ambition and the rot underneath it. The lies we tell ourselves to get in the spotlight, and the monsters we become to stay there. Everyone in this cast has felt that pressure. This was a chance to bleed it out.”
Here’s an updated blurb on the game, plus a new trailer:
Alongside the release date, the full lineup of cast members were announced including Jane Perry (Baldur’s Gate 3, Dragon Age: The Veilguard), and Alanah Pearce (Cyberpunk 2077, V/H/S/Beyond). Dead Take’s cast also includes cameo appearances from Laura Bailey (The Last of Us: Part II, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2), Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth), Sam Lake (Alan Wake II, Max Payne), Travis Willingham (Marvel Rivals, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order), and CDawgVA (Honkai: Star Rail, Card-En-Ciel).
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 videos they find along the way, players will uncover the darkest secrets behind the entertainment industry’s glittering facade.
