Still Wakes the Deep is a first-person narrative horror game set on a 1970s North Sea oil rig. You play an offshore worker caught in a vicious storm after communication fails and an unknowable horror comes aboard. The rig and its crew are at the center of an intimate disaster story, with survival tied to the worker’s effort to find colleagues and face the threat.
Movement and vulnerability shape the ordeal: run, climb and swim through flooding corridors and exposed decks, with no weapons or special powers to rely on. The setting itself is hazardous, and the story’s changing oil rig makes exploration part of its horror design. An optional Story Mode lets players reduce the threat, while Chapter Select, a Yellow Markers toggle and a Silver Screen filter are listed among the game’s features.
Its focus is not building a crew or competing with other players, but navigating a collapsing workplace, confronting fear and trying to help the rig’s people survive. The Chinese Room’s emphasis on writing, audio and acting supports a dramatic presentation grounded in this isolated setting.
