Developer SadSquare Studio
Visage is a 2020 independent psychological horror video game developed and published by SadSquare Studio. Set in a strangely structured house with a somber history, players control Dwayne Anderson as he explores the backstories of the inhabitants that once lived there. The game is presented in first-person perspective, and a large portion of the house is accessible, although some areas require keys. Obstacles… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

No sense of direction, I have the stupid baby face ghost teleporting directly to me and murdering me instantly. Game physics are bad, opening doors TALL TASK, Sledge hammer gets stuck on random objects, lighter gets stuck behind door. Candles do F**K all.

unlabelledView post →I really wanted to like Visage. It has a reputation for being the spiritual successor to P.T., and visually, it looks great. However, I ended up dropping the game before the end because it was simply too frustrating to enjoy. Pros The Story Concept: The narrative is genuinely dark, twisted, and interesting—I just wish it was told better. Graphics & Visuals: The game looks incredible. The environment is photorealistic, and the lighting effects are top-notch. Sound Design: The audio creates…

unlabelledView post →Atmosphere is killer, sound, light, locations... everything messes with your head, just like it should in this genre. Everything is designed to make you slowly lose your mind. But while I was creeping around this house, I completely lost the plot somewhere))) Honestly, most of it just flew right past me. So... gameplay-wise they overcomplicated things to the point of absurdity. A question kept popping up that killed the atmosphere every time: “what now / where do I go?”. If they'd simplified it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Luto is such a brilliant horror game and something I have genuinely not experienced before. The way it plays with game as a medium for storytelling (and scaring) is sublime. A walking sim for fans of Alan Wake, Visage, and Inscryption, and you can roll credits in a weekend! 👻📺
unlabelledView post →We finished Visage tonight. This was my 3rd playthrough, and it still scared the bejeezus out of me. It's such a great horror game. Thank you all so much for hanging out while I played through this. It was fun.
unlabelledView post →Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 629: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (8/10) All right, I'm tapping out. At a whopping 4 hours, I'm too afraid to continue. Seriously. I can't anymore. This is my second time trying to push through my fears, and I've watched video walkthroughs to try to desensitise myself. But I genuinely feel dread when booting up Visage and having to fumble my way through a dark basement with someone (or something!) groaning in my ear. Visage is simply the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Preface: I haven’t played this game myself. I bought it purely to support the developers (and to leave a review). In 2022, my brother asked if I wanted to watch him play a horror game, and this is the one he picked. For 11 hours over 4 nights, we sat together, puzzling our way through it and being scared absolutely shirtless. I had vicious nightmares every single night until we finished. What an experience. I’ve been obsessed with it since. Ask anyone I know or have met: I haven’t shut up…

unlabelledView post →After hearing so many great things about Visage and seeing it described as one of the scariest horror games ever made, I really wanted to love it. Instead, I finished my playthrough with very mixed feelings. There’s a lot Visage tries to do that’s genuinely interesting. In the early game especially, the slow moments of creeping through the house are excellent at building tension and dread. However, once doors have slammed in your face a few times and the lights have gone out for the tenth…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The real horror of this game might actually lie in how it handles its gameplay. The objectives are practically cryptic, and the puzzles often force you to backtrack to a room you have no idea how to find, since the house’s layout is insanely confusing. Not to mention the inventory, it honestly feels like they used the WORST system possible. It ends up being a pretty predictable horror game, since the sanity system warns you whenever something is about to happen which, in MY OPINION, takes away…

unlabelledView post →One of the best horror games ever made - basically the spiritual successor to P.T. The controls can feel clunky and are honestly the hardest part of the game at first, but once you get used to them, the experience is totally worth it. The game is absolutely terrifying and super immersive - the kind where you start listening to every little sound in your room. The atmosphere, sound design are just on another level. VISAGE is scary as hell, and saying otherwise is just stupid. People who say…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can I recommend this game? No, but only because I have a conscience. It's terrifying and I dug into the story behind the house and the ghosts and actually lost sleep. it's such an incredible game and there is so much I would like to discover but I just can't play it or I might have a heart attack.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First, let's get the cons about this game out of the way. The fact that this was a Kickstarter project is apparent specific sections. I'll refrain from saying which as to not spoil anything but it felt apparent to me, namely one section where the game would consistently crash unless I used a cheeky save-scummy workaround. The developers were NOT kidding when they say this game is difficult. You need to pay attention to what is revealed to you, as some clues will only be revealed once and your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting thread because I’m the only person who mentioned Visage - which is by far and away the scariest game I’ve ever played. Utterly oppressive atmosphere, sound design and scares. You might need a guide as some puzzles are obtuse.
unlabelledView post →BROTHERS I AM LIVE with the scariest game I've ever played, Visage 😭 This will be the last stream until Sunday! So come say hey :) Twitch.tv/azhure_kylar
unlabelledView post →Horror is one of my favorite genres, and I’ve read and seen pretty much every kind of thing that’s out there. Which means it’s very difficult to scare me. Very few video games have done it. This is one of them. If you want to be scared, read no further and play Visage.
unlabelledView post →"The game is difficult" no, it's just poorly designed. It has good atmosphere, good audio design, but having to wander the house aimlessly without any sort of guidance is just awful, played the dolores chapter and that alone was enough.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I regret having to post a negative review of a game, but this really took me by surprise. I saw on multiple places (reddit, forums, etc.) that Visage was some people's favorite horror game due to how scary the game was, and unfortunately that was not my experience. At best, this is a 6.5/10 game to me. There were admittedly a handful of genuinely scary parts, but otherwise the game was somewhat frustrating to play. There are four chapters, and each chapter the design is pretty similar: you're…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →alright so im gonna start out with, im a big ole scardey cat. spent 15 hours squinting and looking away every ten seconds while my chat made fun of me. this game genuinely got my house haunted. it got progressively worse each niight for 3 nights until i had to just uninstall the game and call my daughters hispanic grandmother down from chicago to sage the house. anyways, hope this helps. great game if you want to invite evil ♥♥♥♥ into your home lmao
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a massive disappointment. The scenery and environments are fantastic, and they really made the world feel real and foreboding. Unfortunately, just about everything else sucks. The resource management was pretty lame and unnecessary in my opinion. The enemies start as scary, but then they just get annoying as they kill you over and over. It turns the game into a chore. I played two chapters and started a third before deciding to stop playing. The game loop was repetitive: get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm super disappointed that I have to make this a negative review, but this game has too many flaws to overlook. Pros Very Good Atmosphere - As this is essentially "P.T.: Expanded" it nails the atmosphere behind the original. You can tell that this house is wrong (if the first cutscene didn't already clue you in at that point) and the different sections of each chapter solidify that. Dynamic Sanity System - The system works by triggering more paranormal events (lights turning off/breaking,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great and challenging horror game. Probably my favorite game in this genre so far. The puzzles can be confusing and the inventory interface kind of sucks but other than that I've really enjoyed it. Have done 2 playthroughs and have all the achievements, I wish they would make more games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most boring horror games I have ever played in my life. The atmosphere is nice for the first half hour or so, but the quality quickly drops after that point. There is no sense of direction in this game. There is a point where you are locked in a room, and have to PLACE TWO SLIPPERS SIDE BY SIDE ON A BED to unlock a door and get out. There was no indication given to this whatsoever either. Most puzzles consist of hovering your cursor over things to see if they're interactable or not,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kind of uninspired to be honest. The trailers made it look interesting, but its pretty much a haunted house full of horror tropes that just don't do it for me. And on a more petty note, I get annoyed at so called "immersive games" where you are just floating items or a pair of disembodied hands. I may revisit this in the future, but for now, it's not tickling my fancy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visage came highly recommended to me, with a lot of people claiming it’s one of—if not the—scariest games out there. And I will say… it’s a great game. Was it the scariest game I’ve ever played? No, not for me personally. But I still genuinely enjoyed it. The atmosphere is where Visage really stands out. It’s incredibly creepy, with this constant tension that makes you hesitate before walking around every corner. You never feel fully comfortable, and the game does a great job of keeping you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is too obtuse with what to do. I actually got more bored than scared.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love horror genre and played almost all big titles. This one is very slow paced, controls are clunky and confusing, you feel like controlling a disabled person. Level designs are also very strange you need make a lot of back and forth. There are much better alternatives out there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Telling you - if you want a serious horror game to play through as Halloween approaches, Visage is the one. It was more niche, but it has always stuck out as the one that first comes to mind when asked “what game freaked you out.”

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Requested a refund. Out of the 2.3 hours played, at least 40 minutes was spent attempting to figure out what to do next, or tweaking the keybinds to be any sort of playable. It's just a very unintuitive, frustrating game that I spent very little time playing because I was too busy researching how to play it "correctly".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played it a long time ago and I can say its the most loyal "continuation" from PT. I really liked it and I recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pants were very much in danger for most of this game Crushing ambience, silly scares, not so silly scares Always feels like someone's behind you The P.T game we never got Take your meds, carry a spare lighter and don't turn around too fast
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll try to be fair on my recommendation for this game by establishing some points on how good and bad your experience can become. Little to no pointers for what you have to do. You rely on your intuition and nothing else most of the time, however, the developers did this in a way that makes it not so obvious but somewhat clear most of the time, either by something happening or by sheer map design. The story is confusing and you have to rely somewhat on your detective skills to find clues and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WOW, just wow. I’ve played a lot of horror games, but none of them scared me like this. I enjoyed every second of it. Every jumpscare was well-executed; even when you expected one, it still got you. There weren't any 'cheap' scares here—every single one felt earned. The house was perfect. Everything makes you feel on edge—the lights cutting out, the random noises like the radio or TV turning on... your sanity drops in the game, but it honestly feels like it's dropping in real life, too. There…

However, if you really want to ♥♥♥♥ your pants pick this game up on sale and hop directly into the Lucy chapter on the second floor. Guaranteed you'll be freaked out. (This is coming from someone who plays tons of horror games) 7/10 from me

unlabelledView post →A lukewarm recommendation. A game that really shows the flaws of a binary rating system. If it was an option, i'd give the game a thumb sideways. There are genuinely atmospheric and scary moments that are worth playing the game for. It earns its scares, and the "unearned" ones, such as jump scares, are justified because of the well done atmosphere of the house and the well crafted horror sequences. If it was a haunted house game, I'd give it a thumbs up with no hesitation. (Admittedly, 1/4 of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a great creepy game! More than just jump scares (though there are plenty). The puzzles are fun to figure out and the added stress factor of dealing with the other aspects of the house while solving the puzzles makes it even more intense! Don't play this right before bed unless you want to worry about every bump and groan in your own house. 10/10!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With Visage, I was expecting something closer to the original P.T., but I ended up getting something pretty generic, and frankly, not scary in the slightest. Visage really pulled me in at first. Exploring a house, vaguely being told to stay away from the dark, slowly opening up more rooms and sections, it all felt pretty satisfying, especially considering I was waiting for the spookier stuff to start happening. I spent the first two hours or so trying to figure out everything I could do in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first 2-3 hours got me good. I was scared like a little boy, but sadly, it went downhill from there. If you are someone who gets scared easily or reasonably often, it might not be your case, and you will have a bad time (in the good sense!). Hence why I’m recommending it: it might be truly terrifying for some, and you can easily see the game was made with love, but for me, I hardly enjoyed it beyond the initial experiences. The game has probably one of the worst designs regarding…
