Abubakar Salim's latest project, Dead Take, is a horror-FMV game that delves into the dark side of Hollywood. Players take on the role of Vinny, who must search a mansion for his missing friend Chase after a party. The game includes prominent actors like Ben Starr and Neil Newbon, and combines narrative elements with escape room mechanics. It reflects on broader themes of power, money, and fame intersecting with creativity, inspired by Salim's personal experiences and the struggles faced by artists in the industry.
Dead Take is about the film industry on the surface, but on a deeper level it's directed more broadly - at wherever power, money, and fame intersect with art and creativity.
You play as an actor named Vinny, who arrives at the opulent mansion of his friend Chase, who's disappeared after a glitzy party.
In Dead Take, you have to explore the mansion and uncover live-action video clips that help piece the narrative together.
Dead Take is about the gritty underbelly of the entertainment world, and the desperate fight so many actors and artists go through to ‘make it.’
