Our take on Dead Take
The store presentation foregrounds the haunted mansion and psychological horror, while the central activity is also a forensic-style search through corrupted recordings. The entertainment-industry storyline and video reconstruction are important parts of the premise, not just background to the mansion setting.
What is Dead Take?
Dead Take is a first-person psychological horror adventure set in a luxurious mansion after a glamorous party.
The player arrives looking for a missing friend and explores an abandoned film set and damaged home cinema. Investigation involves searching the property, opening up its secrets, and examining USB drives and memory cards that contain corrupted videos. Some recordings can be edited together to reveal events from the previous night. The mansion appears to observe and haunt the investigation as the story explores whispered abuses within the entertainment industry, including cruel treatment, sordid gossip, failed auditions, and a figure with influence over careers. Progress depends on paying attention, solving the mansion’s mysteries, and reconstructing what happened through recovered footage.
