Strive For Your Sanity in ‘Visage’ This October
In case you’re completely unaware, we’re getting spoiled this October on numerous fronts. And now, thanks to SadSquare Studio, we’ve got another game to look forward to in the form of their psychological horror game, Visage. Releasing to Steam Early Access on October 2nd, the game looks damn good. Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer below!
Yeah, it’s only a teaser, but the screenshots on Steam back it up.
The story for Visage puts you as Dwayne, a mysterious man haunted by his past. You’re stuck in an massive old house that has had more than its fair share of tragedies. Thing is, you get to relive parts of the happenings as you wander around the maze-like house, which seems to bend the laws of reality, as you try to uncover “the truth behind the shadows”.
As in games like Amnesia, you’re defenseless save for light, which is your only solace against the madness you’ll endure in the game. You’ll need to avoid terror at all costs, as the dark entities within the house are attracted to it. Maintaining your sanity will keep you from joining the dead within the house. You’ll have to figure out ways in order to do so in order to not end up dead.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
