What is Dead Take?
Dead Take is a first-person psychological horror adventure developed by Surgent Studios and published by Pocketpair Publishing. It was released on July 31, 2025 for PC.
You play as Chase Lowry, who is searching for a missing friend inside a luxurious and haunting mansion. As you explore, the house reveals secrets tied to fame and the film industry.
Exploration and tension take priority over combat. You collect items and clues, solve puzzles around the mansion, and unlock full-motion video sequences that reveal the story piece by piece.
The live-action cast includes Neil Newbon as Chase and Ben Starr as Vinny Monroe, alongside performers such as Jane Perry, Alanah Pearce, Matthew Mercer, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, and Sam Lake. Surgent Studios is the team behind Tales of Kenzera: ZAU.
Dead Take is a single-player experience. It suits fans of story-heavy horror, FMV games, and slow-burn mysteries rather than action.
Surgent Studios was founded by actor Abubakar Salim, who served as creative director on the project. Clues are spread around the rooms of the mansion, so careful observation pays off, and each recovered video adds another piece to the mystery of what happened to your friend.
