Dead Take, the second title from award-winning developer Surgent Studios (the team behind Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU), is officially partnering with Pocketpair Publishing (known for Palworld and Craftopia). Dead Take is a first-person psychological horror game focusing on themes of power and corruption, and it’s now available to wishlist on Steam.
In Dead Take, you’ll search for a missing friend, peeling back the glittering facade of the entertainment industry to expose its darkest secrets and uncover the monstrous cost of creation. This gripping narrative promises an impressive lineup of actors, with details to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Abubakar Salim, CEO of Surgent Studios, hinted at the game’s impactful nature, saying: “We’re being secretive for a reason. The subject matter of this game is delicate, and it hits close to home. When it comes out, and it won’t be long until it does, I want players to think, ‘I can’t believe they actually did this.”
