PC, PlayStation 5 (version played), Xbox; The Chinese Room\/Secret Mode
<\/strong>This horror game creates great atmosphere with its acting and visual design, but is regularly brought to its knees by uninspiring gameplay<\/p>\n

The premise here is a genre classic: one day, workers on the oil rig Beira D hit something with their drill they shouldn\u2019t have, and soon, a nameless horror descends on the ship and picks off the crew one by one. When it happens, Glaswegian electrician Cameron \u201cCaz\u201d McCleary is already on his way off the rig, fired from the remote job he fled to in order to dodge the police after a serious scrap at a bar. It\u2019s his work boots we step into as he desperately searches for an escape.<\/p>\n

While the team that made Still Wakes the Deep is almost entirely different from the incarnation of developer The Chinese Room that made its previous hits Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs<\/a> and Everybody\u2019s Gone to the Rapture<\/a>, all share high visual fidelity, realistic sound work and affecting acting as their trademark. Still Wakes the Deep\u2019s setting is probably the most realistic oil rig in any media to date, down to hundreds of little hissing valves and a labyrinth of perilously groaning metal staircases. Even without an encroaching horror from the deep, this isn\u2019t a place to tell health and safety about, and the rig is without a doubt the game\u2019s most outstanding character.<\/p>\n
