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.

Looks really beautiful, really atmospheric, but very linear. The voice acting is praise, Caz is great, but Roy is flat. 6/10. One and done. Zero replay, not interested in the achievements. Story driven, but even the story was pretty lame, guy loves his wife, guy fights to get back to his wife, monsters on the way. The end.

Nothing special or groundbreaking but it's alright.
Pretty good Lovecraftian horror game. Story is good and Voice acting is very well done. thank god for subs though as i probably wouldnt have understood half of what they are saying. Story is pretty basic you work on an oil rig you drill into something strange and release some kind of Cosmic Horror that takes over everything. Its never explained what it is or why its there but if you are familiar with Lovecraft's work you will have a good idea whats going on here. Gameplay is also pretty basic its kind of tomb raiderish a bit with all the climbing and some stealth and running. not much else besides walking. no real puzzles or any kind of combat. some QTE but extremely basic and easy. game play isnt really difficult. I beat the game pretty easily in 4.5 hrs with maybe 5 or 6 deaths. The horror is pretty good its very claustrophobic and the atmosphere is done pretty well. The creatures are pretty inetresting and unique hard to even describe. Graphics are good controls are decent and also pretty basic. Worth a pick up on sale like $10 or less.
Atmosfera atrapante y axfisiante. Un diseño de sonido brutal, tantos los actores de voz como los sonidos ahullidos etc muy conseguidos. No digo que llegue a aterrorizar pero si a ponerte nervioso y alerta si lo juegas con cascos. Corto e intenso,va directo al grano. Como punto negativo algunos bugs durante la partida y el hecho de que me gustaria que el prologo hubiera sido mas largo. Para conocer e intimar mas con el resto de la tripulacion. Posiblemente compre el DLC en el futuro
Beautiful game, probably one of my fav writing in a long while.
нефтянка, матюки, страшилка, круто вообщем блин
Всем биомассы , друзья! Вот это уважаемо! DeadSpace в жанре симулятора ходьбы, скукоженный до масштаба одинокой буровой платформы. Слияние и деформация тел, мясная жижа, страх неведомого. Ну и щупальца, конечно же!
good game
Great story game. It deserves more hype in my opinion
