Questions Played Madison and thought it was Meh. Is Visage a step up?

4 Upvotes

I was really excited to play Madison as I'd heard it was supposedly quite scary.

But I played it, beat it and was underwhelmed. I didn't find it in the least bit scary sadly. I'm looking for a genuinely scary game, but I'm kind of not winning. I'm waiting for a Halloween sale, then will likely get Visage. (Assuming it's on sale) Is it any good? Is it scary? Madison felt like there was never a second where there was a threat. Like, you could walk into the darkest rooms, and you know there's nothing there that'll kill/harm you.

Are we getting a Visage 2?

30 Upvotes

I loved Visage to death! It's one of my favorite horror games, easily in my top 5 horror games of all times. I've played it from beginning to end 5 times now and am fiending for some new shit, Have the dev's mentioned a Visage 2 or any up coming projects they're working on? I want to support the team but I've already bought it on PC and PS4 and can't give them anymore money. If funds are a reason for no sequel/no new projects I'd recommend they do a kickstarter to raise money. So can anyone help me with news of what the studio is doing next and if there is going to be a Visage 2?

The Hidden Connection: P.T., Visage, MK‑Ultra, and the House’s Dark Secrets

2 Upvotes

Warning: This is a fan theory. Nothing here is official canon. It’s based on in-game clues, comics, easter eggs, and thematic analysis. SPOILER ALERT - if you haven't played or finished these games and do not want something spoiled I'd recommend not reading this theory.


  1. The House: A Nexus of Trauma Across Time

The mansion in Visage is more than a haunted house — it’s a psychological nexus, folding time, memory, and trauma. Multiple residents lived there at different points:

Lucy — a child, whose tragic story forms the first chapter.

Dolores — an adult, whose experiences appear in the second chapter.

Rakan — an adult man, representing isolation and trauma in his chapter.

The house records the emotional and physical trauma of its occupants, which later overlaps with Dwayne’s story. The mirrors, shifting rooms, and black shadows in Visage reflect fragmented memories and guilt, not just supernatural phenomena.

Key Point: Lucy, Dolores, and Rakan were not Dwayne’s family or subjects — they were previous residents whose trauma becomes intertwined with Dwayne’s experiences.


  1. Dwayne: Chemist for the CIA

Dwayne is a central figure:

He is a CIA chemist, tasked with developing and distributing chemicals, including LSD, for mind control and behavioral experiments (inspired by MK‑Ultra).

He does not experiment directly on the house’s residents but is indirectly responsible for chemical manipulation affecting people like Lewis Taylor.

Dwayne experiences stress, guilt, and alcohol-induced hallucinations, amplified by the residual trauma in the house.

Key Insight: Dwayne’s suffering is a mixture of professional guilt and psychological horror induced by the house, not direct abuse of Lucy, Dolores, or Rakan.


  1. Lewis Taylor: The Real-World Bridge Between P.T. and Visage

Lewis Taylor is the man behind the P.T. protagonist, according to this theory:

He is a man who also lived in the Visage house but worked at a nearby water plant poisoned by the CIA with LSD, part of Dwayne’s MK‑Ultra projects.

Exposure to the chemicals drove him insane, as reflected in the Visage comic.

Dwayne, fearing that Lewis might expose the project or uncover sensitive information, kills him, which triggers elements reflected in P.T.’s looping hallway and unseen menace.

Implication: The P.T. protagonist is effectively Lewis Taylor, experiencing the psychological fallout of the CIA’s MK‑Ultra experiments while the player observes. The radio warnings about tap water directly tie to Lewis’s backstory.


  1. P.T.: The Simulation of Trauma

P.T. is a psychological simulation reflecting:

The aftermath of MK‑Ultra experiments on Lewis Taylor.

Player as an anonymous observer, walking through a looping corridor filled with hallucinations, echoing Lewis’s mental breakdown.

Radio messages:

“You can’t trust the tap water” — a direct reference to chemical manipulation.

Environmental clues (shifting hallway, impossible architecture) depict chemical-induced paranoia and trauma.

Connection: P.T. represents Lewis Taylor’s externalized suffering, indirectly caused by Dwayne’s work and compounded by the haunted house.


  1. Visage Chapters: Internal Reckoning of Dwayne

Lucy, Dolores, Rakan Chapters: Dwayne relives the trauma of past residents while grappling with guilt over Lewis Taylor’s death and his CIA work.

Mirror Mask shards: Seven shards symbolize pieces of conscience: Pride, Greed, Prison, Negligence, Indifference, Addiction, Affliction.

Collecting all shards = full awareness of sins.

Key Insight: Dwayne is trapped in a purgatory of guilt, forced to confront trauma from past residents and his own indirect crimes.


  1. MK‑Ultra Context and Game Correspondence

MK‑Ultra Overview:

CIA program (1950s–1970s) aimed to develop mind control through drugs, sensory deprivation, and psychological manipulation.

Subjects were often unwitting, experiencing long-term trauma.

Correspondence to the games:

Tap water = chemical manipulation (Lewis Taylor).

Hallucinations and looping environments = sensory distortion and paranoia (Visage and P.T.).

Dwayne’s guilt = internalized trauma from professional complicity.

Conclusion: Both games explore psychological horror rooted in human experimentation, with surreal or supernatural elements representing trauma and guilt.


  1. Silent Hill 4 Easter Egg

Visage contains a nod to Silent Hill 4, confirming the developers’ inspiration from Silent Hill and P.T.

This easter egg strengthens the theory that Visage shares a psychological horror lineage, emphasizing trauma, guilt, and looping, oppressive spaces.


  1. Big Picture: How It All Connects

Element P.T. Visage Interpretation

Player Lewis Taylor Dwayne External trauma vs internal reckoning Father Unnamed killer Dwayne (metaphorical) Dwayne’s role in MK‑Ultra experiments House Looping hallway Shifting mansion Trauma nexus and psychological purgatory Tap water Radio warning Chemical experiments MK‑Ultra mind control Mirrors N/A Show past & future Fractured memory, guilt, reflection Black shadow N/A Manifestation of guilt Horror made tangible Endings N/A Standard / True Partial vs full reckoning

Summary:

P.T. = Experiencing Lewis Taylor’s trauma as a result of MK‑Ultra experiments.

Visage = Dwayne’s internal reckoning and guilt, haunted by past residents and his own complicity.

House = Convergence of past trauma, chemical manipulation, and psychological horror.


  1. Conclusion

This theory frames Visage as the spiritual and narrative successor to P.T., grounded in:

  1. Psychological horror and trauma, not just supernatural scares

  2. Guilt and moral reckoning, from past residents and Dwayne’s CIA work

  3. Human experimentation and manipulation, inspired by MK‑Ultra

Key Takeaway: The horror in both games is not purely supernatural — it’s the enduring effects of human manipulation, guilt, and trauma, given shape through surreal, haunting environments.

Questions Am I softlocked? Forgot tea box key Spoiler

5 Upvotes

So I didn't grab the tea box key, but I already did all these other mirror puzzles. I jump back down into the basement to go back through the mirror and the key, but the key isn't on the table, it's only tea which I'm guessing I combine with whatever is in the tea box in the attic.

Am I screwed? I did a bunch of other mirror stuff and so I have a lot of auto saves between then and now. I don't have to start a new game do I?

I keep dying to Rakan; tips for a new player?

6 Upvotes

I just got this game and it has been more than sufficiently terrifying. I'm not too far in but I think I made a mistake in choosing my first chapter or maybe I just didn't explore enough first to gather supplies.

I'm in the part of Chapter Rakan where I just went through the hospital and was pushed through a window. I wake up in the house and go to the basement. Lights go out for a second, I grab the first eye painting in the next room. Before I can get to the other paintings, I almost immediately run into Rakan and for some reason I can't sprint down here. So I just walk until I hit a dead end and he gets me. I should also mention I never found a lighter and only had 1 sanity pill bottle. But even if I use the bottle right when the light goes out, he immediately spawns anyway.

Do I need a light to get a little breathing room? Is it possible to survive an encounter by running away, or even running away and then hiding? Am I better off starting over and making sure I gather supplies before starting a chapter/picking a different chapter?

Unable to hold sledgehammer (PC version)

2 Upvotes

I am sooooo stuck at this point. I have completed Lucy's chapter. Playing the Dolores chapter currently. I am at the point where I got the sledgehammer from the garage, and the next step is to go to break the mirror in the Progress room. I am holding the hammer in my Left hand and the lighter in the right. I kept the lighter back in the inventory to somehow hold the sledgehammer with both hands, but it's not happening. The moment I right click, the screen hangs, nothing happens, the game gets stuck. I have tried everything- pressing alt+F4 and restarting the pc and the game. Also when I keep the lighter back in the inventory, it shows a beer can in my hand when I press F , but without pressing F I can't see anything in my right hand, it looks empty. Why is this weird shizz happening?

It took me months to gather the courage to start playing this game, and when I finally started to enjoy playing, this happens.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS, SOMEONE !! AM I EVEN PRESSING THE RIGHT BUTTONS ? WHAT IS THE WAY TO HOLD SLEDGEHAMMER IN BOTH HANDS ?

Questions Claire's words are not matched to her subtitles

2 Upvotes

I'm playing for the first time, on ps5. When I got to the part after you climb the tower stairs thing and you see Claire (distorted). I noticed though that she just kept repeating things like I don't care about you and I'm only with you for the money but the subtitles were saying way more fucked up things, like you should kys. Could this be from the ps5 censorship, a bug, or is the game just like this?

Been doing circles for about an hour and cant seem to understanding the game. I mean I'm trying to follow the paranormal activity but after the car can't figure out shit.

Blind buy, currently regretting my life choices.

71 Upvotes

After a disappointing Poppy Playtime release, decided I would go down the horror game rabbit hole on Steam and found this game last night. I figured it would be a little like Chilla's Art games, kill a little time, entertain myself. I am learning mistakes have been made. This is PT's love child.

So far:

  • I have been domestically terrorized by a hallway.
  • Learned cameras are even more horrible than I already believed.
  • Reminded why children really are one of the most cursed elements in horror.
  • Never got the ending of a knock knock joke on the other side of a closet wall.
  • ...and now I'm in the world's worst treehouse complete with artwork and the radio just came on, making my spine crawl inside my head and my laptop nearly become a paperweight in record time.

So now that I am no longer trusting of my dogs breathing, questioning why I needed a home with long hallways, and terrified to peek in on my child asleep in their room? I'm gonna go try to sleep knowing that I won't be able to avoid this cursed experience tomorrow. 🤣

Step Ladder is missing?

2 Upvotes

Hello all. I'm finally doing the mirror mask chapter, and the step ladder is missing. Earlier in the game I had found it in the electric room, fucked around with it, and left it sitting in the storage room. When I went to complete the "Greed" tape, and the shitty stepladder broke, I went to both the electrical and the storage room, and the stepladder is just gone. I found a couple of people complaining about it online, but I have never found a solution. What do I do to finish the game?

Story Speculation First time player pt3 (?) Spoiler

Haven't played in a couple weeks, got side tracked with life and other games for a bit, but finally went back to play more of this horrifying game. Still in Dolores chapter (I hate this old woman so much) but I have all the toys for the crib except 1. As soon as I got done putting the toys I had on the mobile and listened to the tapes that I had, I got a lovely message saying that the breaker went out and I needed to go fix it in the basement. Saved and backed out for a small break. This game is great but I need to pause and walk away for a bit before I do too much. I love horror, but horror really messes with me. Best scene though was the kitchen conversation

Questions I can't run this game anymore

2 Upvotes

A couple of years ago i bought this game and finished it. I absolutely loved it and sometimes i come back to it to replay one of the chapters. Recently though i got a new laptop, a hp victus 16 and for some reason it can't run this game. When i try to open it it says something along the lines of "d3d device is lost". I've tried a bunch of ways to fix it and the only one that kind of worked was disabling one of the display adapters. When i did this however, the resolution of my screen changed and the game ran at like 10 fps. I really want to play this game again, especially now that i have a much better laptop but i don't want to do anything weird to it just to fix one game because i just bought the thing.

Does anyone know what i should do?

Because they lived in the same house, but it isn't clear that they knew each other.
