Terrifying PT-inspired psychological horror Visage finally leaves early access this week

SadSquare Studio's genuinely terrifying PT-inspired first-person psychological horror Visage is finally leaving Steam early access - and getting its remaining two chapters - this Friday, 30th October, and it's coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on the same day.

Visage has been a long time coming, having initially secured Kickstarter funding back in 2016. It made its way to Steam early access in 2018 where, in-between somewhat frustrating bouts of prolonged radio silence from SadSquare, it's grown from a single chapter to two.

And despite only accounting for around half the final game, those two early access chapters have been more than enough to establish Visage's horror credentials, amply demonstrating the work of a developer with a real flair for brilliantly conceived chills.
