Visage

Looking for a challenging puzzle/ horror game..? This is it. Full send. Go buy it now.

Incredibly boring. And I don't say that to imply I'm a badass fearless gamer who's unshakable and immune to jump scares. I scare very easily. But scares require immersion, and this game can't achieve that.

First off, the controls. Opening doors and drawers, changing lightbulbs, lighting candles and such is unnecessarily awkward and creates so much friction in the gameplay you're constantly pulled out of any sense of immersion you might be building.

Second, this game utterly fails at timing its scares properly. More often than not, the scripted paranormal events would happen behind me as I'm looking through a desk and I would miss it completely. The only reason I'd even know something happened was that the game told me through the UI and a sound cue. Forget getting scared, these happenings only create frustration, as I'm left wondering what I missed and forced to stand idly in the light until my in-game sanity goes back up.

As for exploration and progress, it's a whole lot of time spent flipping lightswitches and painstakingly inspecting every little corner to ultimately find nothing interesting. Boredom shouldn't be the main emotion experienced in this type of game, yet that's what I'm left with. The only moment I feel a sense of dread is when I turn on the lights to see three closets and a workdesk full of clutter I know I will have to spend agonizing minutes searching through.

Everything is painfully slow and clunky, and I would happily forgive that if it aided in creating a scary atmosphere, but the poor design robs the player of even the experience of watching the scary scenes I'm sure the developers put some effort into crafting. Maybe there is a good horror game hidden in there somewhere, but it's so lacking in polish it fails in every way as a scary experience.

awesome game 10/10 graphics, good lore

This price tag is WAY to high. Did not enjoy any moments of this game because I got stuck so many times. The inventory system and the candles just made me frustrated.

clueless walking simulator

Wow, this game truly messed me up.

Visage is horror done right. It is consistently unsettling, unnerving and uncomfortable to play. It is PETRIFYING. CHILLING. I often found myself so overwhelmed with fear that I briefly had to remove my headphones to cope. The sound design is top notch, absolutely blown away with how scary this game is. The fear is real.

Arguably the only " con " about Visage is the puzzles. They can be pretty vague, it simultaneously feels tedious and daunting to constantly be wandering the house aimlessly, in attempt to figure out your next objective - knowing full well you're probably going to get killed in a few seconds. Occasionally I had to look up a guide, but surprisingly I didn't find it as bad as everyone makes it out to be, and was able to solve most of the puzzles on my own.

10/10 horror game. Unbelievably underrated. Scariest horror game I've played, I've craved an experience like this for a long time. Cannot recommend it enough.

Very immersive gameplay!!

Probably the scariest game that I played. The puzzles sucked tho

Scariest game i played yet, never gets boring and just keeps on freaking you out, with tons of content. 10/10

it can be said that it is very good

I am fuckin terrified! This game is scary as shit! If you're looking to shit your pants, this is your game.

Great game and very interesting story(once you get the hang of it). There's a few iffy mechanics, but considering its an indie company's first and only project I choose to look past the minor details. Its an amazing experience when you start piecing together how to progress, and it felt really satisfying to find new things.

Legitimately the best horror game I've ever played. Be warned: it will ruin the experience of all other horror games moving forward.

Yes. It's that good.

An extremely scary experience. Doesn't rely on jump scares to freak you out. I have had actual nightmares because of playing this game.

game includes 4 chapter; you find yourself in a house and figure out the cause of paranormal activity by entering into the capters given by some objects kept in house, parts of it are really scary as cases shown in this game is based on real life events. OVERALL GAME IS GOOD BUT LACK BUT LACKS GOOD GUIDANCE AT TIMES

One of the best games I've played from all the games I've played, and I've played a few. Love horror games, and this one is definitely the best. Actual horror, not some crappy "horror" game. Loved it.

For anyone starting this game, be warned, it’s packed with puzzles, especially in Dolores' chapter if you pick up the mirror key first. The game isn’t linear, so expect a lot of backtracking to progress.

Coming from a Resident Evil player, this game was on another level. I started with Dolores' chapter, completely lost on what to do, and had to rely on guides when I got stuck. The atmosphere was so creepy it drove me insane.

I livestreamed my entire playthrough, and I screamed a lot. At times, I was too scared to continue, but I’m glad I pushed through. The more I played, the braver I became. It was one of the most intense horror experiences I’ve ever had.

The gameplay was bizarre, almost random. A talking kitchen? Mirror portals? A disco-dancing Lucy? Long spiraling hallway? A long room skydive? Despite the weirdness, it had deeper meanings that made it a unique horror experience with their interesting lore.

I'm too dumb and too scared to think through these levels

Confusing but amazing game! Not the best ending tho

Worst controls of my life, jesus christ. Opening doors is a pain, lighting candles and correctly placing them is a pain... if I wanted to suffer more with the controls than with the story, I'd be playing Manual Samuel. I know I might get used to this, but I've played for almost two hours and I'm NOT having fun. I can't even pay attention to the ghosts if I'm worrying about whatever the f*** I have to do, if the place I'm standing is considered darkness, and funky controls. Just place the god damned lighter in your pockets ffs!

i never finished the game so idrk if its good or not

Amazing horror experience, not the worlds most fun game but really has the horror/fear of the unknown elements down.

Don't look at any guides about it unless you get seriously stuck. The scares aren't that scary if you know they are coming, what they look like, and what to do about them, and it's NOT a difficult game past your own fears to calmly work out how to pass each danger (if you're like me you'll be anything but calm when they happen haha).

It can be tricky to work out where to go, but the game rewards you being perceptive, there's always SOMETHING giving you clear queues, the electricity, the doors, the sounds they all work to guide you and keep you safe once you understand the rules, learning to understand the rules IS the game, and you're supposed to muck it up at first, it's honestly 80% of the fun. There is way more resources than you need, just take your time to learn/explore/perceive whats going on around you and you'll get it :)!

Can't wait to see what else the creators of this game make in the future ^_^!

I LOVE THIS GAME

Great atmosphere. Very spooky- I dig it.

The best horror game i ever played.

Solid 8/10.

I visaged all over the place

Literally the greatest horror game i've played.

Amazing game, was hooked from beginning to end.

This is the only a game in my life that I feared playing. Incredibly frightening, will keep you on edge all the time. Very immersive, great visuals and environment.

Visage attempts to emulate P.T.'s eerie vibe but fails miserably. SHITTY GAME DONT BUY IT WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

The best horror game i've played. It's scary, disturbing and you cant let your guard down. The only thing i didnt like was the times where we we're pursued in the chapters. Not because i don't like the concept but mainly because i think this game is a very pyschological type of horror. Therefore it's kind of a let down that sometimes you can just die while beig pursued because almost all of the time i've played the game i just needed to take the sanity pills and i would most likely spend most of the time not being bothered by the ghosts. All that said, i still think this is an excellent game.

this game fucking sucks during the grocery store level i got SO MUCH BEERS and then they TOOK my 100 beers

I love this game to peices. As a person with schizo I cant play this game by myself, but I love the story and the horror is perfect. I struggle with some of the chase scenes and puzzles but thats probably just me and are easy enough to figure out with outside help. This game has a story that will grip you by the balls and is IMPOSSIBLE to forget with puzzles and tasks thatre very stimulating.

Really good game. Scared the shit out of me multiple times. Surprised that it isn't more well-known.

9/10

This game is a lot of fun, as an avid horror game player I usually don't get scared. BUT this game got me a couple of times! There were some parts I needed a guide because it wasn't so clear, however overall it was a really good game with great puzzles. It took me about 8 and a half to 9 hours to fully complete, so definitely worth the price. Story was a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty interesting.

Deloris is a peach

pain to play for controller players

I'm not usually a complete coward in horror games, but something about this one unsettles me more than usual. I can barely play this game and I don't think I'll ever finish it, to be honest. I think if this game was translated to VR, I would actually just literally die while playing it.

It was all in Le Head.

Scariest game i have played so far, genuine nightmare fuel.

Every trigger warning imaginable for this game; but if you need a game that will stay with you for years after playing it; give Visage a try. Anyone saying its just PT is sorely mistaken.

Great horror game, definitely a must play for horror games fans

I cannot imagine why this game is so well liked. It is DISMAL, another half-baked, UNREAL zombie of a pretentious indie game. Overused objects, and textures make for bland, repetitive and uninteresting environments. A non existent plot and characterization leaves me no compelling reason to put up with the proceedings. There's no new ideas here, and nothing to make me give a flying $%^& if the developers get rich or end up in Chapter 7 liquidation. Worst 30 dollars I ever spent.

HARD

Graphics are beautiful and the suspense and atmosphere is done flawlessly. A couple griped however. When you finally get killed there isnt really a "jumpscare" or whatever you wanna call it. You just kind of. Die. And once you find that out it can kill the game for you. Also a very puzzle heavy game at times. But i still recommend it

Take your meds on time lest you should get fucked.

Step 1) Being bored at night.
Step 2) Start Visage.
Step 3) Play Visage for 4 hours.
Step 4) Turn off your PC.
Step 5) Hold a flashlight pointing to your closed room door untill morning, because trust me, you won't be able to sleep after such experience.

Definitely frustrating sometimes, but the atmopshere is undeniably insanely good.
The story at the heart of it all is also excellent. So although the road through Purgatory is dark and difficult. In the end if you perservere, you will find some kind of hope. I respect a game that challenges me, even if unintentionally.

Also it's based how the ghost/demons aren't as impactful to the characters are just regular old human greed, neglect and hate.

After 4 years or something, i finally 100% this game. And i can tell you that this game is easily a top 5 horror game for me. I like almost everything about this game from the story to the house that constantly change, the atmosphere, shocking moments, puzzles and of course beer... I just wish there were more horror games like this out there. In short, This game is a Masterpiece
