The Chinese Room, a British developer known for its unconventional approach, is back with their latest game, Still Wakes the Deep. Set on a ‘70s oil rig off the coast of Scotland, this game promises an authentic and chilling experience. Get ready for a narrative-driven horror adventure like no other.
Authentic Atmosphere
Step into the shoes of Caz, a troubled individual seeking solace on an oil rig. The attention to detail in the game’s environments is astounding, immersing you in the ‘70s Scottish decor and making you feel like you’re truly there. The characters you encounter are equally authentic, with regional slang adding to their realism. Forming connections with these characters will make the impending horrors all the more impactful.
A Slow-Burn Nautical Horror
While Still Wakes the Deep may not seem like a horror game at first, that’s part of its brilliance. The developer wants you to become emotionally invested in the crew members before the terrifying events unfold. As the crew drills too deep into the sea, something sinister is unleashed, and it’s up to you to survive. The game combines elements of Annihilation and Poseidon Adventure, resulting in a dangerous and vulnerable experience.
