Still Wakes the Deep is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre, featuring Cameron "Caz" McLeary, an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for survival against a vicious storm, treacherous surroundings, and an unknowable horror that has come aboard. The game is The Chinese Room's biggest and most immersive game since the BAFTA-winning Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

Secret Mode, the publisher, is a winner of the Ukie Best UK Publisher 2024 award, and The Chinese Room is an award-winning studio known for its innovative first-person gaming. Still Wakes the Deep is their latest collaboration, following successful titles such as Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

Overall, Still Wakes the Deep promises to be an exciting addition to the narrative horror genre, offering players a thrilling and immersive experience.
