Neil Newbon and Ben Starr lead Surgent Studios' new live-action psychological horror blurring film and game boundaries


Surgent Studios founder Abubakar Salim has detailed more on the studio's next game, Dead Take.

Salim, himself an actor known for playing Bayek in Assassin's Creed Origins, described Dead Take to Eurogamer as "a reverse escape room" set in a Hollywood mansion. The studio's previous game Tales of Kenzera: Zau was a personal project for Salim, influenced by his own experience of grief after the passing of his father. And what better way of exploring how far you will go than putting you in a first-person psychological horror game where you're playing an actor who literally is always living on the edge of 'I don't know when my next paycheck is coming through'?
