Visage is a first-person psychological horror game.

Players will explore a mysterious, ever-changing house in a slow-paced, atmospheric world that combines both uncannily comforting and horrifyingly realistic environments.

Its EARLY ACCESS announcement comes in par with a very short teaser, showing what seems to be a monster trying to escape from a darkly lit wardrobe. It is suggested—as we hear its disturbing screams at the end—that the monster is freed, likely to be seen during the EARLY ACCESS.

The EARLY ACCESS will grant player access to ONE chapter out of FOUR in total, representing 4 to 6 hours of gameplay out of approximately 20 hours in total for the Full Release. The developers mention that one of the many reasons why an early access version was made available to everyone is because they believe it is a great game on its own, even though it is a small peek at what the Full Release will be. The developers also mention that they "will actively seek feedback from the players", to ensure the game "enjoyed for everyone".

The chapter available in the EARLY ACCESS will give the players an idea of what the Full Release will be about, presenting key story elements in a way that should not hinder the final experience. The players will be haunted by multiple dark entities, and they will be defenseless agaisnt them, making for what is said to be a difficult game, as stated on their Steam store page: "The game focuses on exploration and builds tension slowly to create a deeper and more meaningful experience. Its story is unveiled through surreal imaging and subtle environment details. Be mindful that it is a difficult game in unconventional ways."

Suffice it to say, horror fans have been waiting for a truly frightening atmospheric and realistic horror game for quite a while now, and Visage's EARLY ACCESS might reveal a peek of what they've been waiting for all this time.

The trailer hints off quite the extensive environment setups, enemies, weapons and items that will be present in the indie-developed game. “Visage” seems to feature all the requisite elements of one hell of a scary experience. Spooky, dim lighted realistic house environment with too much ambient noise? Check. Creepy piano music? Check. Monsters in wardrobes? Check. Dead little girls in bloody dresses? Check. Monsters with deformed humanoid features à la Silent Hill? Check! Crying babies plugged into what looks like a giant umbilical cord in a giant fleshy room (the good ol’ classics)? Check, check, check!

“Visage” will offer a surreal experience unlike anything seen before, taking place in an old, gigantic house where unfathomable horror hides behind the banalities of a normal, but ever-changing house. You play Dwayne, a mysterious man haunted by malign entities of the past. As you venture in the surreal world, you learn of the stories that ties you to this horrific place. Your goal is to uncover the truth behind it all. Will you have the courage to dig deeper, or will you coward into oblivion?

Availability: “Visage” will come to PC, Xbox One and PS4. At the moment, SadSquare Studio’s official statement on the release date is “coming soon”. Sounds like the people working there don’t want to rush things, which is probably a good thing.

SadSquare Studio is a newly formed independent developer of desktop and consoles games. “Visage” is its first game and was crowdfunded in early 2016 on Kickstarter, earning a total of CAD$ 120,000 for its development.
