The long wait is over. The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s first-person narrative horror title Still Wakes the Deep is available today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam. The customary launch trailer gets right to the point with showing glimpses of the aquatic horror that awaits players, set to Maggie MacInnes‘ haunting “Fath Mo Mhulaid a Bhith Ann” (“Being here has caused my sorrow”).
Set aboard the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland in the North Sea in 1975, Still Wakes the Deep has players fighting for their lives while they’re stalked by an unknowable horror that has come aboard. As Cameron “Caz” McLeary (voiced by Alec Newman), players will navigate the collapsing rig, desperately searching for a way home.
Still Wakes the Deep is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre from The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther. They’re also currently at work on Paradox Interactive’s long-awaited Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
And just in case you missed it, check out Harrison’s review of Still Wakes the Deep, which he refers to as one of the best horror games released this year, evoking the claustrophobic chaos of Neil Marshall’s The Descent “in the best possible way”.
