Ladies and Gentlemen, ghosts of happier times, I believe I discovered the identity of the “Masked Man”, the crow mask on the television at the end of the game. When I compared him to the “Masked Man” of Visage, I am convinced that he is, or at least based on, an actual demon.

So I’ve rummaged around the internet, and after researching some creatures of madness, I’ve stumbled across similar articles of a crow headed demon. On the 4th of October, after watching some walkthroughs of the game on Youtube, and looking through the scenes involving the crow mask on TV, I wondered if the demon that is responsible for the game’s events is more than just a construct of fiction.

It’s whispers of all-seeing eyes that watch you wherever you go, but in truth, it’s all just a trick that ends with you being silenced. It stages you into a twisted dream, where sanity rots away, leaving reality behind. It plays the role of an insidious friend and leads you to a gruesome end. Horrible events tend to happen there, and many would say they stemmed from madness, but little did they know that an influence lives here, a corrupting thing that misdirects the mind. The game is set in an old house, and it is haunted by a dark past. Now the main topic and the spoilers that follow, so spoiler alert! You have been warned. If you want a horror game that’s worth your time, play Visage and have fun sleeping.

Even before its full release on October 30th, 2020, Sadsquare Studio’s Visage was already one of the scariest horror games of the 2010s, and that is no exaggeration.
