Visage wears its P.T. inspirations like a badge of honor. It takes place in a creepy house haunted by spirits that can jump-scare you if you?re not careful, has you solving puzzles with the environment to proceed and slowly unlock rooms, and is focused almost entirely on psychological horror and tension. Although it?s not a perfect horror game, more than anything else Visage is proof that this kind of horror can absolutely work at a bigger scale and can be genuinely terrifying to boot.
You take control as Dwayne as he explores a house that is haunted by the spirits of those who previously inhabited it. The story here really is about the previous owners. Each chapter of the game focuses in on one of them and tells their story. Saying what they?re about would be spoiling things, but each story is tragic and haunting and does some really interesting stuff with both the house and the characters. The house acts as a hub-world of sorts until you start a chapter by choosing a specific item in the house. Although this felt like a weird way of telling the story at first, I quickly settled into it as it does leave more time to focus in on each specific tale. It also allows the game to do some pretty weird stuff with the map like changing rooms entirely or using mirrors as gateways to different timelines.
