Tales of Kenzera: Zau developer Surgent Studios and Palworld publisher Pocketpair have revealed Dead Take, a psychological horror game that's all about "the gilded rot of the entertainment industry".
As first revealed back in January, the game will be the inaugural effort of Pocketpair's new publishing wing, and more games will be coming from this arm of the studio in the future as well.
Dead Take is described by Surgent and Pocketpair as a "first-person psychological horror" in which you play as an actor who must look for their missing friend in a "dark, opulent mansion" filled with "mysterious humanlike figures".
In gameplay terms, you'll be solving "object-based puzzles" as you explore the mansion, and you'll also be discovering video clips that you'll need to edit together if you want to "unravel what really happened within these walls".
Surgent is promising "opulent and meticulously hand-crafted 3D rooms" filled with "tools and props inspired by real-world film sets", as well as a score by Helldivers 2 composer Ross Tregenza. I'd imagine his work on this one will be significantly less bombastic than on Arrowhead's game, though.
