Still Wakes The Deep looks, in a word, horrifying
I do love me a game from The Chinese Room, andStill Wakes The Deeplooks to be a right old trip. Announced during theXbox Games Showcaseat this year’snot-E3, this first-personhorror adventurecasts you as a worker on an off-shore industrial oil rig and something seems to have slithered aboard from the depths. Check out the trailer below for some major chills.
Information is still light surrounding Still Wakes The Deep, but the crux is: you’re screwed. Stuck in the middle of the Scottish seas with all lines of communication down, you need to survive on the rig for as long as you can, fighting for your life assomethingpursues you.
The trailer shows lots of tight metal corridors, clunky industrial innards, and other super uncomfortable claustrophobic spaces that you’ll have to navigate through. We don’t actually get to see any sort of monster, although there is a gurgling screech at the end so that’s a nice scary teaser that I’ll be hearing in my nightmares.
It feels like solitary sea horror is having a moment right now.Full Fathomis another upcoming horror game where you’re in charge of controlling a deteriorating seacraft through terrible waters, and indie submarine horrorIron Lungis getting afilm adaptation.
