“Still Wakes the Deep,” a first-person “otherworldly horror” video game set on an oil platform in the North Sea, will be released on June 18th of this year.
Players take on the role of maritime workers navigating the fictional “amazingly realized” Beira D platform off the coast of Scotland in December 1975.
They must save the remaining crew from a collapsing structure while battling “an otherworldly horror that lies at the edge of all logic and reality.”
Still Wakes the Deep also stars a “cast of authentic Scottish actors” who “struggle to survive on a precarious oil rig, where one wrong move could mean their last.”
Still Wakes the Deep comes from British developer Chinese Room, which has previously developed games such as Dear Esther, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, and the upcoming Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
The description on the PlayStation website says: “Still Wakes the Deep is Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Dear Esther.
“You are an offshore oil rig worker fighting for your life through violent storms, dangerous environments, and the dark, freezing waters of the North Sea. All lines of communication have been cut. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the fear of the unknown.
“Find the crew and, if possible, help them survive. Run, climb, and swim across flooded passageways and storm-stricken outer decks. Confront terrifying and relentless enemies. . And please pray that I will be reunited with my family someday.”
Still Wakes the Deep will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
