Still Wakes the Deep setting & gameplay

Still Wakes the Deep is going to be a psychological horror game set on an oil rig whose crew appears to be in a panic while they fight for survival against some unknown threat. Whether this threat is monsters, the elements, paranoia, other people, or purely in their own minds remains to be seen. The trailer only shows the protagonist, but we also heard screams that could be from other crew members – if they’re still breathing.

The game will likely involve environmental storytelling in which the player will need to piece together what’s going on, while they try to survive the harsh, likely deadly conditions. Like Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, expect Still Wakes the Deep to prey on our fears of isolation to really ramp up the fear and tension.

The only question is, are we alone on the rig? Or are we trapped with something sinister?
