Horror Game 'still Wakes The Deep' Delivers Intense Atmosphere But Falls Short On Gameplay Innovation

The latest horror game ‘Still Wakes the Deep’ from developer The Chinese Room offers a gripping atmospheric experience but falters in gameplay innovation, showcasing stunning visuals and engaging acting performances.

Set on the oil rig Beira D, the game follows the story of Glaswegian electrician Cameron ‘Caz‘ McCleary as he navigates a terrifying ordeal after an unknown horror descends on the rig, leading to a series of eerie events that challenge players’ survival skills.

With a focus on realistic sound design and impeccable visual detail, ‘Still Wakes the Deep’ immerses players in the treacherous environment of the oil rig, creating an authentic setting that enhances the overall horror experience.

Despite the high production values and compelling narrative, the game falls short in terms of gameplay innovation, relying on familiar mechanics and predictable gameplay elements that limit player engagement.

While the character of Caz is well fleshed out, the supporting cast lacks depth, leaving players craving more meaningful interactions and emotional connections with the ensemble of characters as they navigate through the dangers of the rig.

Although ‘Still Wakes the Deep’ succeeds in depicting an everyman protagonist in a dire situation, the repetitive gameplay mechanics and lack of genuine scares hinder the overall impact of the game, failing to deliver a truly memorable horror gaming experience.
