I am giving this game a good review because I do believe it is worth the money and gives an adequate experience. In my opinion the game was fine. In fact my problem is that the game was too fine. Performances were good. Puzzles were fine. Jump scares are admittedly cheap. When the story shined, it shined momentarily - but overall it was fine. To give more context on my perspective, I have to give spoilers: During the final act, the game starts pushing the limits of psychological horror with twisting rooms and mounts of flesh and mannequins blocking your path - but I felt like this was not exactly earned. There were areas where psychological horror was utilised but I felt it was only drip-dropped in certain areas, or not pushed to it's full potential - I never felt any build up, or any consistency of the game toying with your senses. This made me feel like the ending segment went from 0 to 100 in a second. Furthermore, near the end of the game you are given a blue-light to reveal hidden messaging and solve a few puzzles - but this was so short that by the end of the game I felt disappointed that they did not utilize the mechanic further. I really loved the story between Neil Newbon and Ben Starr's character, but again, I feel that there was not enough there. I want more, I want to know more about their dynamic and their competition - especially with Duke. And just when I think I might get more, the game is over. Thinking about all of this, I suppose a really good aspect of the game is that, as corny as it sounds, it does leave you wanting more. Part of me believes that there is DLC potential to this game, but only because I want more. I want more mindf**ks, consistent psychological torment, twisted puzzles, more story and dark themes. I have nothing but the utmost respect for team behind this game as I know that it is their post-debut. That being said please give us more in the future and push more boundaries, I thought the ending segment was really cool and I want more of it :(

This was an instant purchase for me, and it is like someone looked inside my brain at what I would love in a game, and put it all into Dead Take. I adore FMV games (Contradiction is my all-time favourite), and I adore psychological horror and escape rooms. The escape room aspect is done really well, with puzzles that require a bit more thinking than just "find object, put object here" (although some of this style of puzzle are well incorporated too). Dead Take's psychological horror comes in the form of the knowledge that, while this is a game, there are so many similar stories from similar figures in our entertainment industry, and we will never really know a public figure, performer or producer unless we know them personally. The splicing gameplay is fun as well, allowing you to find new information about these characters. There is a lot to love here, and although it won't be a game for everyone, it was definitely a game for me.

You know those times when you're feeling burned out, but in need of a game that still makes you think but not bend over backwards? This is perfect. To answer a common question; yes, there are mild jump scares if that bothers you. The gameplay feels like an escape room if you have done those. I did run into a few bugs, but I could get around them. Not bad at all considering it was release day. It takes maybe 4-5 hours to complete if you don't run into said bugs. I loved seeing my favorite voice actors, we all knew they would be great! Anyway, fun game, just keep in mind it is a short puzzler.

It's a short (~4 hours) psychological horror puzzle game, which let's you delve into dark side of the movie industry. I liked it, even if it was short!
