Publisher Secret Mode and developer The Chinese Room have announced Still Wakes the Deep, a new psychological horror game.
The new horror game is launching sometime in early 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. The game will be on Xbox Game Pass, too.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
STILL WAKES THE DEEP is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre for The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.
You are an off-shore oil rig worker, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the unknowable horror that’s come aboard.
Search for your crew and help them survive if you can. Run, climb, and swim through the flooding corridors and storm-lashed outer decks. Face a terrifying, unrelenting foe. And pray that, one day, you get to see your family again.
The Chinese Room – with its reputation for world-class world-building, audio, writing, and acting – delivers a symphony of action, trepidation, tender emotions, and awe.
