It transposes those ideas through a horror video game framework, and loops in full-motion video with some truly chilling performances from some of gaming’s best actors. Dead Take is the second game from Surgent Studios, following last year’s debut title from the developer, the Metroidvania Tales of Kenzera: Zau. This eerie mansion turns out to be the perfect setting for a horror game, a true testament to the opulence and excess of Hollywood. While Dead Take’s story is entirely grounded, the game does a great job of making Cain’s mansion feel almost supernatural. Dead Take isn’t the most complicated horror game out there; its puzzles are pretty simple, and it has a breezy six-hour runtime.
