Featuring Scottish actors, Still Wakes the Deep is a first-person action horror game by The Chinese Room team, who also developed Dear Esther and other critically acclaimed titles. Here, you are a male oil rig worker trying to survive the storm and the horrors that lie within the rig.

Still Wakes the Deep immerses you in a narrative-driven horror adventure, transporting you to an eerie realm where survival is your sole priority. Navigate through walking, running, climbing, swimming, and seeking hiding spots to evade the relentless pursuit of monstrous creature intent on capturing and devouring you.

Survive the ordeal without any weapon

In Still Wakes the Deep, you must find the rest of your crew in the near-collapsing Beila D oil rig while powering through a tempestuous storm in the North Sea. You find yourself stranded in the middle of the sea, with communication lines have been cut off and all exits blocked. Your task is to navigate the crumbling platform of the oil rig and try to escape.

There are no guns or other weapons, so you have to rely on your wits and navigation skills to survive. Traverse flooding corridors and storm-lashed outer decks—use strategic walking, running, climbing, and swimming maneuvers. The environment is unforgiving, demanding that every decision be calculated to evade danger and ensure your survival amidst the tumultuous conditions. Make sure that every step you take doesn’t lead to your character’s doom.

While the first-person perspective contributes to the game’s immersion, players may find it too scary or anxiety-inducing—especially when traversing dimly lit or claustrophobic areas. Furthermore, this horror game includes mature content that involves graphic depictions of blood, gore, and frequent violence. These elements are intense and may not be suitable for younger audiences, making discretion advisable for those sensitive to such themes.
