These ‘Visage’ Screens Are Chilling

The majority of what we’ve seen of developer SadSquare’s crowdfunded psychological horror game Visage has focused on its near-photorealistic visuals, mood and atmosphere. Like the monster that waits in the shadows until the film’s final act, the horrors this game have largely remained a mystery to us. That won’t change today, but I did manage to scrounge together a fresh batch of spooky screenshots for your viewing pleasure.

These screens are hardly new, I just haven’t covered them here and felt a powerful need to remedy that seeing as there’s considerably more going on in them than there’s been in the other images we’ve seen so far. One of the creepier images even reminds me of Jennifer Kent’s 2014 horror film The Babadook.

What do you think? It might be unintentional, but it’s cool either way.

Visage doesn’t have a release date, but it’s coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
