Dead Take drops July 31 for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. It’s developed by Surgent Studios and published by Pocketpair Publishing.
Dead Take is a dark, psychological horror set in Hollywood. You play as actor Chase Lowry, voiced by Neil Newbon. He’s searching for his missing friend, Vinny Monroe, played by Ben Starr. The story begins after a wild Hollywood party ends in silence.
You’ll explore a luxury mansion. You’ll solve puzzles. You’ll piece together hidden footage. And you’ll uncover secrets the industry doesn’t want you to see.
Big cast, big pressure
Creative director Abubakar Salim says Dead Take is about fame and what it does to people. “It’s about ambition, lies, and the monsters we become,” he said. That’s why they picked actors who know this world.
Here’s the full cast:
| Actor | Notable Works |
|---|---|
| Jane Perry | Baldur’s Gate III, Dragon Age: The Veilguard |
| Alanah Pearce | Cyberpunk 2077, V/H/S/Beyond |
| Laura Bailey | The Last of Us: Part II, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 |
| Matthew Mercer | Critical Role, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth |
| Sam Lake | Alan Wake II, Max Payne |
| Travis Willingham | Marvel Rivals, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order |
| CDawgVA | Honkai: Star Rail, Card-En-Ciel |
The cast is packed with talent. Some are actors. Some are streamers. All of them bring real pressure and real emotion.
Fame has a price
The gameplay mixes horror with escape-room puzzles. You’ll find creepy videos. You’ll put the clues together. And the deeper you go, the darker it gets.
This isn’t just a haunted house game. It’s a story about the cost of fame. And the fear of being forgotten.
Dead Take hits PC on July 31. Add it to your wishlist now on Steam or Epic.
