Visage - Kickstarter Alpha Gameplay - Extended Trailer

[@reptilexcq2]

Intensity of this type of horror game need to be built up with sound. P.T. had you on your edge BECAUSE of the sound and it build up intensity as you play on. Sound should be a major part of the development. On the Kickstarter page, it mentions someone working FREE for sound composing? I don't know about that, i would like them to use the money to hire high quality sound producers, someone that knows how to create haunted music. I want to hear haunted music from those of Psycho and Exorcist. Music that got you scare before you even walk around let alone explore the gaming world. Please watch some of those Japanese movies and see how they create sound in their movies. Kojima is a Japanese after all and he knows what sound to use to scare you. I really want this game to succeed.

[@SadSquareStudio]

+reptilexcq2 We do have a music composer, but we do our sounds ourselves at the moment. We are willing to add a sound designer to the team if our campaign succeed, because YES sound is a MUST and it has to be top noch in a horror game. You won't be disapointed ;)

[@geropino9480]

+SadSquare Studio Reptilexcq2 is right about his/her concern, because your game is almost perfect, but sound fx are mmm not enough good, art and visuality are 9/10 but sound fx is 4/10 what I mean is the sound is not enough good for the amazing visual quality that the game has. The sound is like, generic, common, not something unique, standar I don't know how to say it in english, but I hope you understand what I tried to explain. This game, is what I hope since p.t. died, I wish this game succeed. Best wishes for all of you! y en mi idioma, OJALAS TRIUNFEN, PORQUE PROMETE VISAGE!

[@ugo9087]

+reptilexcq2 it needs some actual gameplay to cause when you know your just pushing forward and you won't die from anything how can you be scared of whats coming?

[@NjegosVujovic]

+SadSquare Studio just don't forget to add an option to disable the music because some of us prefer none :)

[@paulyasinovskyi3536]

Agree

[@ImBatman-dk8eh]

atmosphere, buildup, good scare delivery, while being quiet at that, this is expertly crafted and the right direction for some good horror/guilt tripping. keep it up! one request, despite that one comment, do NOT show us too much of enemies, the unknown of what could be ahead is what keeps up suspense! the players imagination is the developers greatest tool

[@riffz6065]

Does anyone else see the horror movie influences in this one gameplay trailer? Spooky girl=Grudge/Ring, Kid drawings of red doors and black figure=Insidious, Open door to industrial red lit area=Freddy Krueger.

[@TheJenniferOlive]

This is pretty impressive for an alpha, graphically it's amazing.

[@SMEARD]

Scratched my headphones by accident creating a loud scraping noise in my left ear while he was following that little girl and I freaked out.

[@SMEARD]

Haha yes. Thanks for your concern though :)

[@adReNoChroM90]

4 years later and i have to say: Good work!

[@stanleysantiago127]

Allison Road got cancelled this day, i hope this game will not cancelled also.

[@quarlic]

+Ken Adams why would this get cancelled too? people had already spent their money to back it.

[@smasher502]

+quarlic another company bought it and they're going to release it whenever so expect tons of changes

[@quarlic]

+smasher502 ok do u know what company bought the ip?

[@smasher502]

+quarlic can't say. it was a while back when I heard about it. hopefully they do something with it soon. but I'm psyched for this game as well

[@quarlic]

+smasher502 I just spoke with the studio and they said that their domain name is with another company but the IP itself belongs to them.

[@Limesonlimesonlimes]

The lighting on this is phenom- really amazing talent. Hopefully whoever worked on the lighting on this game gets some other good gigs after!!!

[@MultiDKnight]

Those are some good fucking lamps.

[@cyka_delik9537]

+Commander Batty I love lamp.

[@Desenbigh]

+Cyka_Delik I like lava lamps...PLEASE HAVE A LAVA LAMP!!!

[@Fr0gg0]

+Commander Batty Bring amber lamps

[@etrochannel6395]

That scene after he entered some paranormal world, looks like the scene from Freddy Krauger

[@TinyPierogi]

+Ada Wong I'm glad that I wasn't the only one to notice that :D

[@thepermman]

I was like "for the love of god don't go in there! Freddy is in there!"

[@stuntmanorigins9]

You are our only hope, you are the only survivor, don't get cancelled

[@BlueAura]

It's available to play on steam now.

[@GhostlySuperstition]

This looks fantastic! I'm so glad someone is using the P.T. for something! It has more Silent Hill vibes than Konami's version! Make it available on the PC, and I'll definitely get it!

[@nekokami3132]

Damn SadSquare Studio...u did a great job on this !!!!!! MY SUPPORT IS YOURS

[@rafaelsantosx]

Just imagine this with a VR oculus.

[@TheDragonageorigins]

+rafaelsantosx NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

[@Seader7]

+rafaelsantosx Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

[@rafaelsantosx]

Why not?

[@Seader7]

+rafaelsantosx its scary

[@marcguerra1854]

They said that they're planning that idea with the PS4 VR headset

[@derek978]

FINALLY! A game that's actually like a horror movie! And the terrifying sounds that make the game feel more intense and eerie! Sound is THE best horror asset!

[@PaderGamez]

Wow i am impressed and very excited! Love this game so far. Very creepy :) Greetings

[@melon1522]

The atmosphere seems more like Paranormal Activity

[@TheAziMax]

+Kat Roo if you kie this atmosphere check Allison Road gameplay

[@StermaPerma]

+TheAziMax apparently allison road got cancelled.

[@AllisonGhost]

It recently got un-cancelled

[@goldmiegoldmie8625]

CamBen and no news on 2017

[@AllisonGhost]

Goldmie Goldmie yeah im more than a bit disappointed...

[@justpuchi5039]

I absolutely love the little nods to the Ju-On series, I've always wanted a game like this and I commend you so much SadSquare Studios!

[@TheFukaro]

The fact that this is early alpha makes this all the more impressive.

[@pyrobomb101]

props to your lighting artists! Looks fantastic

[@TheDiscipleofSlash]

I haven't been this terrified since PT and Allison Road and by the grace of my fellow nerds I REALLY hope this gets the support it so right deserves!!

[@TrueLife94]

You guys has done a great work, and is only an Alpha! All my support to you!

[@jetpacking1]

This is incredibly well done for an Alpha. I hope you guys get some more exposure and crush all those Kickstarter goals!

[@TheAziMax]

A mixture of PT and Allison Road!

[@samuelguiguitare]

The part in the closet was very realistic, Can't wait to buy this o_o good luck, looks great!

[@Legoleflash]

It looks fantastic guys!!! I can't wait to play it. I love the focus on horror atmosphere, and even the idea of the added puzzles to figure out. Looks awesome!

[@zaq.o]

I dig it. Sort of a "The Ring" vibe going with the little girl and the wicked tree artistry.

[@Omega0035]

My god this game looks amazing. The sounds, the visuals just everything. I'm looking beyond looking forward to this!

[@GrizzlyRed]

Job well done! This was a suspenseful thrill the whole time! Can't wait to see the finished product!

[@dylanthomas8877]

This looks so promising. Overtones of the great SH and PT. Unsettling music scapes and imagery, coupling it with mundane familiarity. Hinting of the stalkers appearance is a great trick, whilst maintaining that feeling of presence using camera shots and sounds is wonderful. This would lend itself so perfectly to VR...

[@xGarbett]

This game looks amazing!

[@ElPariah]

¿Que ha pasado con este juego? Soy backer desde que salió en kickstarter hace unos años y me parece que perdí mis 12-15$

[@obj_SHEP]

This looks really amazing and I'm super excited for it. Definitely going to back it.. I do agree that the audio department needs a little work but I trust you guys will get around to that.

[@melissagarrett9719]

Nope.... Not playing that. Not because I don't like it but because it's too scary. Great job! It was genuinely eerie experience that had me practically on the edge of my computer seat just watching it. Hollywood horror now days is nothing compared to this. The closet bit was particularly well done in my opinion. Closets freak me out regardless and hearing the girl breathing in your ear in a small enclosed space with no where to run was genuinely freaky. I can't imagine what it would be like seeing her close in on you with VR. Just... I would die. I'm gonna check out the website! You guys definitely deserve the support! :D Edit: I was gonna go to bed, but now I feel the urge to check my closet just in case. XD

[@gabrielbelanger3720]

if i am not mistaken my brother know one of the guys behind this project so congrats, i am really pumped up for this game.I can't really kickstart it but i will buy it for sure.

[@ChucklesProduction1]

I am very tempted about the offer to let an original piece of music added in. As a composer myself this would be a very fine opportunity indeed. I actually just wrote a piece today inspired by this footage (especially at the end)

[@ThoseOnesGuys]

I'm stoked. Also, SadSquare Studio, in the scene where the main character wakes up in a tub, please somehow make him more than a floating head. No one's body can fit in a corner of the tub when laying down =]

[@SirDimpls]

Great effort! I'm hoping that white noise effect in the end is not going to be in the final game as it just breaks the immersion and consistency of the world in the trailer. If I can have one wish it would be that the creators add something to motivate the player from the beginning to explore the world.. some sort of purpose for walking around and doing things (PT had the talking bag and mind bending information/puzzles and the repeating rooms which motivate the player to find a way out of the situation). Best of luck guys :)

[@Elburion]

It's like playing "Gone Home: Extreme Bath Salt Edition"

[@TommySasaki]

The game looks pretty scary. And if its an incarnation of the P.T. demo, the scary things that happne must be random and unscripted, that its what made P.T. so fantastic. I really thought that there was a ghost trapped inside my Playstation 4 because different things happend and I couldn't recreate the scenarios by will.

[@pizzadeeya]

God those 5 years were so worth it. Game is incredible and terrifying.

[@quartzparchmentshear]

Very excited for this game. I'm a huge fan of the psychological kind of horror here. Let's support this kickstarter!

[@TheSpoofMan3]

SadSquare Studio, you fellows have done a marvelous job here and your presentation is solid, I wish you all the best with your endeavor to make this one of the best horror experience for its release year. Please just one suggestion if you don't mind, don't use any voice acting for dialogue if you're considering it, for something like this it's almost always best to leave voice to the imagination and we work off using texts. But the sound design you have created is amazing, it works perfectly! All the best again to you all! :)

[@TomGraczkowskiComposer80]

Amazing job so far guys!

[@SadSquareStudio]

+Tom Graczkowski (Composer) Thank you! We appreciate the encouraging words. :)

[@TomGraczkowskiComposer80]

+SadSquare Studio No problem, you guys are showcasing some great creativity especially in the latter part of the trailer which makes for an intriguing game. If you guys will need some help in the music department then feel free to give me a shout.

[@cpl.geckell6355]

I for some reason got reminded of the Rick and Morty episode with Scary Terry during the boiler room scene. But jokes aside, I'm really glad to see something like this coming out. I loved the first person claustrophobic horror style of PT and this looks just as great, if not better. I can't wait to see the finished product

[@Benjiro79]

Still really wanted this game on PS4! Even after this many years, really crazy about this one!

[@Seven-vo3zl]

SO EXCITED FOR THIISSS!! Hmm, I don't want to keep comparing it to P.T. though. I'm sure these guys will make this awesome in their own way.

[@LOOOOLOO56]

early development !! this fu*** fantastic !!!

[@Uzala]

Please don't get cancelled. Please, please, please, _please_ don't cancelled.

[@BlueAura]

You can play it now on steam

[@Uzala]

@@BlueAura Thank you. I added it to my wishlist.

[@1691jabp]

dunno bout u guys, but that silence creeps me out quite a bit more than if it had music ,also this is beautiful

[@KakosXamos]

Oh boy, count me in.

[@jesslovesrammstein]

Dude, absolutely nothing could have happened in this trailer and I still would have been terrified. I'm sitting in my busy office in the middle of the afternoon and I still had to keep pausing the video to regroup.

[@chambertlo]

The best thing to come out of Konami cancelling Silent Hills is people coming out of the wood work to create stuff like this. There is a horror game resurgence happening, and it's thanks to these people that one of my favorite past times is coming back to my favorite genre. Great job, guys! I wish you nothing but the best!

[@fratzeklatsch]

@SadSquareStudios: you stated in a comment below that you plan and hope to release this game on consoles as well. Are you working on VR as well? I can't imagine any other game to be more intense. Please tell me you're at least looking forward to bring it for oculus, wive or PS VR.

[@NewbornSkydiver]

Looks absolutely amazing!

[@cor.tenebrarum]

man that's photorealistic :)

[@bagamingshow]

The thing I really hate about horror games, is they always have these weird creepy paintings in their house. WHO HAS THESE? These paintings do not exist in peoples homes. No they do not. Just make it believable. Put a Thomas Kinkade or something like it somewhere. That's like opening a fridge and seeing a sandwich. No one makes a sandwich and just puts it in the fridge. It's immersion breaking when I have to look at something stupid and aloud say these things.

[@mrsenpaihd7485]

bagamingshow True words have never been spoken before.

[@jacobtyler9264]

while i dont mind the painting so much because im used to these types of things happening in video games, i DO agree with you a bit! on the other hand, terrifying dark monsters dont typically appear in peoples homes (for most people :3) and so when you see the painting you know something scary is coming, but yeah if it was more plausible then yeah i think it would have a greater effect

[@erroressentialis6803]

is it just me or does the light in the dressing room gets darker and darker well great job anyway this game looks fantastic

[@JBMetalProductions]

TOP NOTCH QUALITY. Holy crap for a kickstarter game this is tripple AAA style graphics and its guna be very popular on steam. I can already tell. Can't wait to get scared.

[@CanIHasThisName]

This may be a bit unfair, but I'd like to mention Layers of Fear, which is another game with similar concept worth checking out.

[@Godmcgod]

The closet idea was genius!! man if this was only a demo and not part of the actual game, i can honestly say that you guys will be the reason players are gonna buy new pairs of pants lol :)) great job, tbh i`d play it with bugs and all just to get the living shit scared out of me :)) can`t wait for more

[@NguyenMinh-lg1fy]

Unbelievable..that's amazing graphics..!

[@ResetLoad]

Now this is how you hype a product. I hope this comes out with Vive support, just imagining playing it on my Vive makes me both terrified and excited. xD

[@iscarus]

Iam very very very glad there will be allison road and visage soon. After Layers of fear i need more !!! Thank you for making horror games for us fans ! Times like Silent hill coming back ! Yessssssss

[@TheWrightFeeds]

watched this on Soda's stream. wow what an experience. really hope this game gets made

[@akhip7421]

whatever gets you off man.

[@BlueAura]

You can play chapter 1 of the game on steam now.

[@zombiewar]

Geez. Just a trailer and it creeped me out. Looks really good already.

[@hanzo935]

i love how realistic it looks, it looks like a real house! i hope the majority of the game is like that.

[@Brendawgy2010]

I'm really glad horror games are doing the atmospherically haunting first person style of things. PT started this, and after playing Layers of Fear and seeing this, I'm really cheering up for the state of horror games. I only hope it will retain the atmospheric feel and keep the sort of tense, nerve racking feel to it for its horror resorting to a lot of jump scares. Jump Scares are fine...if theres like, 5 of them in the whole game.

[@333studios.]

The finial product came out a masterpiece

[@SrswizardsStuffTM]

Preddy cool. I actually liked the silence, it contrasts the slamming doors, bumps and other sounds nicely. Who has three copies of the same painting in their house, though? Also spoopy art on the walls of such a basic bitch house is a bit out of place, maybe make them appear later on in the game, and you could do this thing with some of them, where they are first creepy, but if you turn around, and look at them for the 2nd time, they've changed back to regular ass paintings, or the opposite. The spoopy lady was quite spoopy, though. I'm looking forward to this one.

[@mastermirror8420]

I heard an alpha gameplay is gonna be released soon,is that right? Cause i'm psyched to scare my oanties off right when the alpha would be available.Oh and please on what platforms will you release this game on?Is it an exclusive or available to all platforms? I have faith in you and i'm obviously more than impressed with your work.Visage looks absolutely like the spiritual successor of p.t we all wanted to taste and i hope you don't end up cancelling it cause i'm gonna have a mental breakdown. Anyways looking forward to pkaying the alpha once you released on ps store :)

[@rosyramona6246]

Just watching this is scary. I can't imagine how freaky _playing_ it will be!

[@anarchyahoy1363]

Oh this looks very promising. I'm such a lover of horror games... And have been since back in the days of the original SH and RE. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one as well. (:

[@TheSwollenGamer]

This looks so good.

[@frostbyte964]

The boiler room thing killed it for me lol

[@MIGHTYM4RS]

please don't get cancelled pleased don't get cancelled. i just learned about allison road, im super duper bummed :( :( :( :(

[@deadpoolvega]

hope you get you heart ready for this games

[@ekxdee9707]

Allison road is being continued its no longer canceled :)

[@BlueAura]

Allison road hasn't had any of it's social media accounts active in 2 years, very certain they've discontinued the project. As for Visage you can play Chapter 1 on steam.

[@iasked8240]

4 years later... Worth

[@gamingclasshero7253]

Das ist mal richtig gruselig. Freu mich total auf VR Gaming!

[@WreticAnimation]

I wanna play the demo, this has me sitting on the edge of my seat.

[@ty_teynium]

Can't wait til this comes out...

[@benbmusic88]

Intensity of this type of horror game need to be built up with sound. P.T. had you on your edge BECAUSE of the sound and it build up intensity as you play on. Sound should be a major part of the development. On the Kickstarter page, it mentions someone working FREE for sound composing? I don't know about that, i would like them to use the money to hire high quality sound producers, someone that knows how to create haunted music. I want to hear haunted music from those of Psycho and

[@dadsleftfoot]

Improve the sound and you have one of the scariest games I've ever seen. Can't wait for the demo!

[@NihilusDarthNihilus]

THIS AND ALLISON ROAD ARE MY HOPES TO FINALLY MAKE ME HAVE FEAR AGAIN :O

[@crestfallenknight7983]

It's outstanding how one demo - P.T. - could spawn so many alike games...

[@wingsunfurl7030]

That piano at the end reminded me of 'dead frontier'

[@ivanaviNiebla]

So... the game is going to be linear or open house/place? Btw, this needed a final silent jumpscare like the Alison Road trailer did, because is at the end when the tension has been totally built.

[@mrcleglaw256]

awesome, as a designer and as a player i am extremely excited. looking forward to see more of this game (: unreal engine 4!

[@KorbiCS2]

I would happily spend $60 on this game. PT cancellation pissed me off because I loved it so much, and there aren't many games like it. Seeing this game is an incredible refresh and gives me hope that I'll play a game like PT soon. This game looks great and I really hope you guys go through with it! Great work!

[@SadSquareStudio]

+★ Korbi CSGO Thanks for the great words! We were hugely disappointed by the cancellation of Silent Hills too - that's actually part of what spurred us to make Visage, to make a psychological horror game that messes with your mind. We're hard at work on the game every day to bring it to life, and we'll be putting out regular updates as we go along in development. Stay tuned!

[@hestar]

Looking amazing!

[@thejigmire1453]

the end with the elm street like boiler room made this less than scary. in the closet you could hear the ghost girl breathing a couple times before the reaction to, like the third breathing sound. its def inspired by Allison Road & PT. hopefully there'll be parts that will set it apart. don't disappoint, please.

[@JupiterMaroon]

looks amazing, however if you are really going for the Silent Hills vibe, add more cryptic puzzle elements. This is a GAME after all, bring in the best gameplay. silent hills was amazing because of the huge puzzle hidden within. try and replicate that, and you will have my word I will buy this game and one for my friend.

[@Charon66]

Wow so damn good.I think you can make it guys.Will wait for PS4 version

[@butsutekkai1]

this looks INCREDIBLY frightening.

[@mrmarius8794]

Cool trailer! nice graphics!

[@lordcthulhu1609]

I would love to hear industrial music like those Silent Hill in those industrial themed areas. Like percussive metal banging, static, etc...

[@doublecheezpoof2131]

9:42 I was so looking forward to this part but it was never in the game

[@green-ft6hi]

what is it all about?

[@Razumen]

Looks very SCP inspired.

[@rdyjshd]

Even just the *ambience* would make the game even better

[@magnusm4]

The ending took away all the scary and just became a beautiful adventure game

[@r011ing_thunder6]

You must be gothic.

[@magnusm4]

***** A shining white tree on a floating grass field. How is that gothic. It's like saying Journey is emo

[@r011ing_thunder6]

Journey is emo af

[@ParadoxycOnline]

+magnusm4 *with a noose tied to it

[@magnusm4]

ParadoxycOnline Didn't notice it

[@sandyshores3891]

WOAH!! (claps) this is just as intense as Silent hills P.T!!!! Can't believe P.T Silent Hills made a new trend for horror genre!!! AMAZING!!! :D I hope you make it till the release, and not hurt us like The Evil Empire (Konami) did. :(

[@McLovish]

This looks so amazing! Fuck Allison Road or P.T, the detail in every enviorment, the ambient sound everything about this had me hooked right til the end without wanting to even check how far im into the video and had me geniuinely feeling terrified. I NEED THIS.

[@BlueAura]

It's out now on steam, chapter 1 is available and they will release more as they are content-complete.
