Surgent Studios has announced its next project, a first-person psychological horror game titled Dead Take, following the success of its debut title, Tales of Kenzera: Zau. In Dead Take, players will take on the role of an actor searching for a missing friend at a lavish party in a dark mansion. The game features object-based puzzles and video clips that reveal the mansion's unsettling past. It draws inspiration from classic titles like The 7th Guest and includes intricately designed 3D environments based on real film sets. The original score is composed by Ross Tregenza. The game is set for release in late 2025 and is currently available for wishlisting on Steam.
