Hey folks!

A lot of you have requested that we share updates on our Work for Hire projects via Lost & Found when we have something to announce, as you were interested to know what games we are working on.

Today I'm excited to share Dead Take with you, the next game from Surgent Studios. You may know them from their previous game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

Their new project is very different and through Lost & Found we've been helping them with a lot of different things including marketing and release strategy, a full rebrand of the game, teasers, trailers, additional social media assets and we've even had some input into the game itself this time around.

Javed, Omar and Matt have been crushing it on helping with all of Dead Take's needs, and I've had a lot of fun working with them on planning out their reveal / release and social campaigns!

As per usual with Lost & Found projects, we won't be covering Dead Take on the channel so we hope you'll give it a look for yourself when it launches on July 31st on Steam.
