STILL WAKES THE DEEP is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre for The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.
You are an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the unknowable horror that’s come aboard.
Search for your crew and help them survive if you can. Run, climb, and swim through the flooding corridors and storm-lashed outer decks. Face a terrifying, unrelenting foe. And pray that, one day, you get to see your family again.
The Chinese Room – with its reputation for world-class world-building, audio, writing, and acting – delivers a symphony of action, trepidation, tender emotions, and awe.
An immersive disaster story aboard a stunningly realised North Sea oil rig, starring an authentic cast of Scottish actors. Experience the beauty and ferocity of the sea as it rips apart one of humanity’s strongest structures and its steadfast crew.
No weapons. No powers. Just your wits and determination. Struggle for survival on an unstable oil rig, where one wrong step could be your last.
Something has turned your home into a nightmare, where the familiar becomes threatening, and where a noise in the dark fills you with dread. Resist the urge to turn back. Confront the unknown.

An absolutely stunning, captivating experience. It is rare to find a game that packs this much atmosphere and authentic, grounded writing, the voice acting in particular, is some of the most natural I’ve ever heard. It is incredible that we have media of this caliber available, especially for just £7 on sale. While the environment design, lighting, and weather effects are extraordinary, the experience isn't without some minor flaws. The controls can feel clunky, minor bugs persist, and certain mechanics, like the heaters, feel underutilized. Being unable to open doors while carrying items is a frustrating quality of life oversight, and the ending felt slightly flat and forcefully melancholic for my taste. I really wish the developers would add an option to toggle off the cinematic black bars. the "blinders" during cutscenes frequently pull you out of the immersion, it reminded me somewhat of the metro series in its gameplay mechanics with its frequent QTE and structure, which is no bad thing, and the game was incredibally enjoyable. Despite the small gripes, this is easily one of the best games I’ve played in years. Pro tip: Go in completely blind. I only wish the developers hadn’t spoiled the enemy designs in the store page slideshow, really is a shame theyve shown so much in the store when the reveals could of been so rewarding seeing them in game first, it would have been so much more impactful to discover them naturally. It may leave you with a new found fear of the ocean, but despite the minor issues above, it is a solid 9/10. I enjoyed every second and I'm sure ill give it another playthrough.

Starkes Game mit viel Symbolik und vielen Metaphern
Amazing game, I played the first bit on my console a while ago and never finished it, saw it was on sale and decided to play it. Really good story and gameplay, got stuck in a few parts but that was honestly me just being dumb. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Still Wakes the Deep.
Nice visuals, good voice acting overall, and a good story. Even though the rig is a big place, it's pretty much on rails, and you can't really get lost, so it's the type of game you experience rather than "beat" (you're always going to complete it). Took me about 5 hours to complete without rushing or doing any achievements or anything, which was good for the sale price.
What a joke, wont run on Dx12, forced it to run Dx11 which got me through to the menu, latency went through the roof after 10 mins of gameplay (300+) despite having a good set up. Frame rate chops between 4 and 100, stutters, freezes. Devs have been aware of this issue for a long time yet do nothing to resolve it. Very dissapointed, refunding.
игра понравилась но на intel i5 10 и geforce gtx 1690 на открытых пространствах fps просидает до 10 по ощущениям)
