New ‘Visage’ Screens Show It’s Still Coming Along
SadSquare Studio, the makers of the upcoming psychological horror game Visage, shared a fresh batch of environmental screens and a quick update on the game’s progress, mostly to confirm there’s nary an obstacle in sight that might jeopardize its chances of being finished. This has everything to do with Allison Road — another horror game that attempted to pick up where P.T. left off — and its startling cancellation earlier this month.
“You probably all know this already, but sad news indeed: Allison Road has been cancelled. Some of you expressed your worries about how Visage is going. Well don’t you worry, we’re still here,” writes the developer in a post on Facebook. The whole house environment is pretty much done, and we’re working on optimization at the moment. Everything is going well.”
“We’ll try to post updates more frequently, but be aware that when we’re not posting updates, it means we’re working hard on the game.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
