‘Perception’ Footage Gets Lost in a Spooky Mansion
The Deep End Games was founded by former BioShock and Dead Space developers who wanted the creative freedom to realize their vision for a uniquely terrifying gaming experience that wouldn’t be possible outside of self-publishing. Perception is just strange enough to pair nicely with crowdfunding, and the $168k the studio raised on Kickstarter in June is proof of that.
I quite like the idea of exploring a Spencer Mansion-esque manor filled with deadly traps and assorted spookery, and outside of Pulse — another product of crowdfunding — there aren’t many video games that star blind characters, much less use them as leads.
This eleven minute-long gameplay video should give you a decent idea of what this game has to offer. Perception is expected to release on PC this summer.

The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”

We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
