Just over a year after the release of its debut game Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Surgent Studios has unveiled its next project, and I don't know what I expected but it definitely wasn't this. Dead Take is a first-person psychological horror game the studio says "will peel back the entertainment industry’s glittering facade to expose its darkest secrets."
Dead Take puts players in the shoes of an actor in search of their friend, who was last seen at a "dark, opulent mansion," apparently the site of a glamorous party held by a powerful executive—but that's now gone oddly quiet. You'll solve "object-based puzzles" as you make your way from the mansion's gate to the theater deep inside, discovering and splicing together video clips along the way to discover the truth of what happened within the now-silent walls.
