July 2024
Still Wakes the Deep is a great entry into the horror genre, more specifically centered around themes such as body horror, Lovecraftian elements, claustrophobia and thalassophobia. You play a character down on his luck working on an oil rig off the coast of Scotland, before the rigs drill hits an unknown entity that sets off a chain of horrific events that results in both the crew mutating, as well as the oil rig itself distorting. While being set in an environment as industrial and bleak as an oil rig, some of the cosmic horror elements in the form of the entity itself bring a slew of strangely visually pleasing aesthetics to the game, despite being hostile and quite frankly disgusting. The story elements are well done, as is the voice acting; it’s fairly uncommon to hear British and Scottish voice actors in a game, but in a strange way it adds a level of authenticity to the games storyline in my opinion. The main character is likeable and the writing is very authentic to the Scottish. You’ll hear a lot of swearing and banter between the crew, and a lot of colloquialism that I personally really enjoy in a game. The horror elements are great, the body horror specifically is quite magnificently gross, yet you can’t help but take a look and really examine the brutal transformations that the entity causes on board. I found myself going out of my way to find most of the dead (or not dead) crew members to see their fates. Most of these dead crew members are essentially either set pieces or hazards, but there are a few notable enemies that force stealth sections. I didn’t mind them too much but some areas did get frustrating, as the enemies movements are actually very hard to predict as they moved around the areas like giant legged spiders almost. In terms of the gameplay, we’re really looking at loop that incorporates walking simulator elements, light parkour and a few stealth sections between, with some very minor puzzle elements of remedial tasks like turning switches off or moving carts out of the way of your path. At its core, it’s a pretty basic game and mostly an enjoyable horror experience, but due to this I can’t really imagine doing multiple playthroughs. Despite that, I would 100% recommend this game but only perhaps during a sale and not for full price – it’s a short experience but a good one nonetheless. Pros Excellent voice acting Original concept and setting Great visuals and weather effects Cons Not much replayability A little on the short side

Honestly, what to say about Still Wakes The Deep... it's probably one of the best narrative horror story's I've played in many years. As a Scot myself it's a breath of fresh air to actually hear an entire cast of Scottish actors/actresses in a story instead of an American faking an accent. The setting is spot on, nailing the whole vibe of Scotland in 1970's aboard one of the most dangerous structures to work on in the North Sea. Graphically it's the standard you'd expect from the Unreal Engine, creating amazing set pieces, lighting, rain and water effects. The developers clearly did their homework on oil rigs from that era since almost every single aspect of the interior and exterior is identical to what you would find on them, even down to the design of the lifeboats, radiators and other small details. Personally I think one of the strongest assets of this title is it's sound design, with a good set of 3D surround headphones it's quite amazing to listen to each surface underfoot, the creepy howling of the monsters, all the way to the walls and pipes shuddering and creaking from the weather, very immersive. I'm not sure what technology exactly they used for the waves but this game is probably the first one I've played which actually captures the pure raw power and roar of a storm at sea as it slams up against the legs of the rig and you can barely hear yourself over the noise. I won't comment much on the story as it would be very hard to not spoil key moments so to summarise briefly; this isn't a survival horror game, it's not got inventory management or other mechanics such as Outlast, Amnesia or The Evil Within so definitely don't go into this thinking that'll be the case. It's a narrative horror, much like taking part in a movie as the main character and going through an emotional roller-coaster from beginning to end. Some will really enjoy it others will immediately look elsewhere for a more 'action' experience, both of which are fine but you'll not find that here. That's not to say that there aren't some extremely tense moments and very eerie encounters. In closing, I highly recommend Still Wakes The Deep to anyone that's even curious about it. The story and characters left an impression on me and even though it was relatively short, it was well worth the time and money.

The only unrealistic part is that your flathead screwdriver doesn't slip out of screws. Otherwise 10/10

It's The Thing on an oil rig with Scottish people speaking in tongues so intensely you'll need the subtitles to make heads or tails of it. What's not to love, really? Subtitles: buy it.

Works fine on the steam deck. Will be a fun game to play while I'm working at sea in the Baltic sea.
