* ShoutOut: Many to ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
** The scene after the introduction, where Dwayne awakens in a dark room, is almost exactly like when your character awakens in ''P.T.''
** The entryway has a constantly creaking, swinging small chandelier just like in ''P.T.''
** There is a radio that looks almost exactly like the one from ''P.T'', though it seems far less actively malicious and may not be anything more than a radio being messed with by ghosts.
** The pill packs scattered throughout are dead ringers for the ones that cover on the phone desk in ''P.T''.
** The loading screen is an obvious one to the iconic chained door of ''VideoGame/SilentHill4''.
** There is another from [[VideoGame/SilentHill4 Silent Hill 4]] in Lucy's chapter. Not only is the room you find arranged similarly, but it also has the chains on the door. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGRNUyVCy8o as seen here]]
** The way [[spoiler:Lewis]] comes out of the black stains on the walls is similar to the way ghosts attempt to enter in [[VideoGame/SilentHill4 Room 302]]

->''Each death has its visage. How will you face them?''
''Visage'' is a first-person PsychologicalHorror video game developed independently by [=SadSquare=] Studio, and made as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''[[VideoGame/SilentHills P.T.]]''. It was first announced in September 2015 and crowdfunded on Website/{{Kickstarter}}. After two years in early access, the full game was released on October 30, 2020, for PC, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, and UsefulNotes/XboxOne.
Set in the 1980s, ''Visage'' centers on Dwayne Anderson, who finds himself trapped inside a large, seemingly deserted house with a bloody history. As he explores the rooms and halls, Dwayne is haunted by surreal and terrifying remnants of the past as he uncovers the gruesome secrets that tie him to this place.
-----
!!Tropes found in ''Visage'':
* TheEighties: The game specifically takes place in this decade, and numerous period appropriate items can be found around the house, such as the old CRT Television in the lounge.
* AlwaysNight: No matter how long you play, it'll never reach daybreak. You are stuck in a dark, rainy night the whole game. [[spoiler:Exect for the graveyard scene, which is highly overcast instead. Same with Lucy's Treehouse with the bonus of rain. During Dolores' chapter, some of the mirror rooms have a bright or foggy day, but you can't see much despite it.]]
* AnimateInanimateObject: [[spoiler:Inexplicably, some kitchen appliances can talk.]]
* ArcNumber: The number 3 appears on various digital readouts around the house.
* BigBadEnsemble: Each chapter is dedicated to a different apparition, who will pursue and torment Dwayne throughout their part of the game's story, which includes [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Lucy]], and [[EvilOldFolks Dolores]]. [[spoiler: However, the ultimate nemesis of the game, and the one responsible for the supernatural happenings of the house is Lucy's "Imaginary Friend" Shadow.]]
* BloodBath: Appears during the nightmare you have while [[spoiler: you are drowning in the tub]]
* BodyHorror: Many examples.
** Lucy, the default ghost enemy, has no jaw. Not only can you hear her gurgling, you can see the tongue hanging out when she gets dangerously close to catching you. [[spoiler: When she DOES catch you, you get to watch in first person as she makes sure you don't have one either.]]
** A yet unnamed (as of the early access version) ghost who occasionally appears looks like an uncannily large man with impossibly long arms and a horrifically bent spine.
** You get to see [[spoiler: Lucy's suicide and severed jaw up close]] during the ending of her chapter.
* CastingAShadow:
** The various lesser apparitions around the house manifest an ability to do this to a limited extent, such as being able to turn lights off, surround themselves in darkness, and cause lighters to malfunction when in their presence.
** [[spoiler: Shadow displays a mastery of this, implied to be a LivingShadow himself, and able to conjure pure darkness around itself.]]
* CreepyBasement: but of course, an unfinished basement filled with clutter and various household rooms. Lucy likes to manifest there more than anywhere else in the house, a holdover from when she was still alive, and obsessed with watching T.V.
* DarknessEqualsDeath: Staying in the darkness for too long will reduce Dwayne's sanity, causing a myriad of various effects, such as hallucinations, before eventually culminating in an apparition manifesting, and killing him as a result.
* EldritchLocation: The house, courtesy of its ever-changing architecture and its seemingly pristine state after centuries of existence.
* EvilIsNotWellLit: As the game progresses, it starts to become much darker as the house continues to lose light bulbs.
%%* HauntedHouse: The main setting.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: [[spoiler:By the end we learn Dwayne worked for a pharmaceutical company that had been polluting the town water, causing the mental issues of Lucy, Dolores, and Rakan. They then release a medication that Dwayne may have accidently altered which only made them worse.]]
* NonStandardGameOver: Take too long on some puzzles, and [[spoiler: the demon takes you away to... somewhere... instead of impaling you, with the game over screen featuring a unique message explaining that it got "tired of playing games"]].
* PaterFamilicide: The opening cutscene depicts a rather disturbing sequence in which a crazed father murders his entire family with a revolver, before putting the weapon to himself.
* SanityMeter: Rises and falls dramatically, unlike the slower meters of other games. The lower your sanity, the more of a foothold the ghosts gain in the world and the more they can manifest and/or break things.
* SharedUniverse: Despite the many {{Shout Out}}s to the franchise, [[spoiler: the presence of the ''exact'' [[EldritchLocation Room 302]] heavily implies this isn't merely a SpirtualSuccessor, but is actually set in the ''Silent Hill'' universe (though the questionable canonicity of the EasterEgg makes it ambiguous)]]. Chapter 2 begins to add ''The Room's'' iconic chained doorway to several areas, and [[spoiler: takes you to an derelict, fog-shrouded townscape, ''extremely'' reminiscent of the iconic town itself.]]
* SurrealHorror: At times the house drops all pretense of being a normal building and brings Dwayne into some truly bizarre environments, such as an industrial hellscape, a subterranean lake, and an Creator/MCEscher-esque series of doors and stairways.
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: One of the ghosts appears to be the boogeyman, hiding in closets and all, played straight for as much horror as possible.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Lucy [[spoiler: after being possessed became obsessed with television, began sketching extremely weird things about doors and a smiling black shadow, and eventually began hurting herself after killing her pet bird. This culminates in her suicide.]]
* WeakenedByTheLight: All the ghosts, to various degrees.
** Lucy will vanish quicker if brought through bright areas. Sometimes she will stop in her tracks and stare at you if there is a bright spot between you and her. Oddly, she is immune to the camera, which is much brighter.
** [[spoiler: the demon doesn't seem to be hindered by weak candles or light bulbs, but the high intensity flash of the camera freezes him.
