killed a family and a child and somehow lost at russian roulette 7 times 10/10

Early in Visage, I hit a wall with a puzzle and shelved the game for months—a decision I came to regret once I finally returned. Picking it back up turned out to be the best choice I could have made, as I uncovered one of the most hauntingly brilliant horror experiences I’ve ever played.

This game doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares; instead, it weaves an oppressive, bone-chilling atmosphere that pulls you into its eerie, nightmarish world. The puzzles are challenging yet immensely rewarding, offering a real sense of accomplishment when solved. Many are intricately tied to the game’s narrative, revealing chilling new story elements or unlocking unsettling areas that heighten the sense of dread. They demand patience and clever thinking, but the payoff always feels worth it. Meanwhile, the story lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. And then there’s the house itself—it feels disturbingly alive, with every creak and shadow working against your nerves.

Visage is everything great horror should be: intelligent, immersive, and deeply unsettling—a true slow-burn masterpiece.

10/10—and yes, I took 150+ screenshots to prove it.

I've never been so scared by a horror game that I actually started crying until I played Visage. The terror this game made me feel was strong enough to make me cry. Holy moly.
