Still Wakes the Deep is a first-person narrative horror game developed by The Chinese Room, known for critically acclaimed titles like Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Published by Secret Mode, the game plunges players into a terrifying ordeal aboard an isolated oil rig off the coast of Scotland in December 1975.

You play as Cameron "Caz" McLeary, a Glaswegian electrician on the run from past mistakes, who sought refuge working on the Beira D oil rig in the North Sea. What begins as a routine shift quickly descends into a fight for survival when a catastrophic event strikes the rig, unleashing an unknowable, otherworldly horror from the depths of the ocean. All communication lines are severed, and all exits are gone, leaving Caz and the remaining crew trapped in a collapsing structure infested by a terrifying, unrelenting entity.

Key Gameplay Elements:

• First-Person Narrative Horror: The game focuses heavily on atmosphere, storytelling, and psychological dread. The narrative unfolds through Caz's experiences, interactions with the remaining crew, and the horrifying changes taking place on the rig.
• No Combat: Unlike many horror games, Caz is an ordinary man with no weapons or special powers. Survival relies entirely on his wits, stealth, and determination. Players must sneak, distract, run, and outsmart the monstrous threat.
• Environmental Navigation & Traversal: The Beira D oil rig itself becomes a character, constantly shifting and collapsing around you. Players must navigate treacherous, structurally unsound corridors, flooding passages, storm-lashed outer decks, and vertical shafts. This involves climbing, leaping over gaps, squeezing through tight spaces, and even swimming through submerged areas.
• Immersive Setting: The game meticulously recreates the grim, claustrophobic, and often perilous environment of a 1970s North Sea oil rig. Authentic Scottish accents and detailed environmental design contribute heavily to the game's sense of place and immersion. The raw power of the ocean, raging storms, and the groaning metal of the dying rig serve as a constant backdrop to the horror.
• Unrelenting Foe: The primary antagonist is an incomprehensible, powerful entity that is impossible to fight. Its presence is constant, and encounters are designed to be tense chase sequences or moments of terrifying stealth, emphasizing the player's powerlessness. The horror is multifaceted, tapping into fears like vertigo, drowning, and claustrophobia.
• Psychological and Emotional Themes: Beyond the immediate monstrous threat, the game delves into the human cost of disaster, the bonds between the crew, and Caz's personal struggles and desires to return home to his family. The superb voice acting brings these characters and their desperate situation to life.
• Linear but Dynamic Progression: While the game is largely linear, the oil rig itself progressively changes, with sections becoming destroyed, flooded, or infested with organic growth, opening up new paths and amplifying the sense of dread and urgency.

Still Wakes the Deep is a deeply atmospheric and emotionally resonant horror experience, inviting players to face their fears on a collapsing oil rig against an unimaginable terror, all while striving for the simple hope of survival and reunion.
