VISAGE

About the game

VISAGE is a first-person psychological horror game set in a huge house where terrible things once happened. The player wanders gloomy corridors and dead rooms, gets lost in endless mazes and gradually uncovers the house's past, stained by family members murdering their own relatives, madness and suicides. This twisted environment is void of any life other than the player's, and parts of the dark past are relived as fragments that leave the hero restless. Ghosts of the families who died in the house haunt the player: they follow every move, watch from every corner, play tricks with the mind and try to attack, and why they haunt the hero has to be found out alone. The hero is defenseless, and the available actions come down to collecting key items, interacting with surroundings and looking for objects that could either lead out of the nightmare or drag one further in. Dying is part of the game, as dark entities are drawn to terror, and preserving sanity, for instance by remaining in the light, prevents the player from joining the dead. The game is single-player only.

Environment The game is set inside a huge house in which terrible things have happened. You’ll wander through the gloomy corridors, explore every dead room, and get lost in endless mazes, your head filling with memories of the dead families that once lived in this very home. This twisted environment, void of any life other than yours, takes you to places you couldn't even bear imagining. Storyline This house is stained with a terrible past. Families were brutally murdered by their own family members, people went insane, many committed suicide, and other grisly events occurred. Each and every room has its story painted on an invisible canvas. As a player, you will relive parts of this dark past, and each of its fragments will leave you restless and terrified. You’ll soon wish you could join the dead's ranks in their abyss, but death won't help you leave this place. Will you run from it, or will you try to uncover the truth behind the shadows? Dark entities The families that died in the house will haunt you and leave you restless. They’ll follow your every move, watch you from every corner, play tricks with your mind, and try to attack you. Why do they haunt you? What have you done? This you have to find out on your own. Gameplay In Visage, you are defenseless; no weapons could save you from the dreadful entities stalking you from the next corner, the next door, or underneath your feet. You’ll be able to pick up key elements, interact with the environment, and search for things that may help you escape this nightmare or pull you deeper into it. Dying is part of the game. You need to avoid terror at all costs, as dark entities are attracted to it. Maintaining your mind as sane as possible will keep you from joining the ranks of the dead. Doing so will not be easy, and you'll have to figure out ways, like staying in the light, to avoid going insane.
