Point of No Return improvements: Some players reported wanting to be able to reload before the point of no return in order to explore the mansion a bit more and hunt for achievements.

- Dead Take (PC) Review - 5 August 2025
When it comes to crafting a good horror story, atmosphere is essential. While visuals and creepy storytelling help set the tone, good audio design can do much of the heavy lifting—if you know what you’re doing. The team at Surgent Studios clearly had this in mind when developing Dead Take , their latest horror puzzle game. To that end, they enlisted the help of some notable voice actors, including Neil Newbon , Ben Starr , Laura Bailey , Sam Lake and many more. That’s not to say Dead Take slouches in other areas. While the game’s sound design is immaculate—featuring eerie ambient noises and top-tier voice acting—it also looks fantastic. Players will spend most of their time wandering through an abandoned yet opulent mansion after a disastrous party. The elegant halls never fail to inspire unease—whether you’re exploring confetti-strewn corridors, dismantling an overworked robot vacuum f…
