[H1] Drowning in silence and panic This game gave me that same kind of feeling I had while playing SOMA and Observation. Not exactly the same in terms of story, but close enough in terms of atmosphere and the way it messes with your head. First of all, this is a Lovecraftian horror game. Its about surviving, walking, and just… experiencing what’s happening around you. And honestly? That’s where this game shines the most. The atmosphere is insane. Like actually insane. You’re stuck in the middle of the ocean on an oil rig, and the game makes sure you feel that isolation every second. The sound design plays a HUGE role here. The creaking metal, the waves crashing, the distant screams it all builds up this constant tension. It’s not always loud horror or cheap jumpscare. Sometimes it’s just silence, and that silence is uncomfortable as hell. Now about the story; no spoilers of course! The story is pretty straightforward on the surface, but the way it’s presented makes it hit harder. It’s more personal, more grounded. You’re trying to survive while everything slowly falls apart around you. The voice acting deserves a mention. It feels real. Like actual people in a messed up situation. The accents, the panic, the confusion; it all adds to the immersion. It doesn’t feel like “game dialogue,” it feels natural. Honestly the VA did a phenomenal job here. Gameplay wise, its a constant moving from places to places with parkour and stuff. The level design for me felt great! And, didn't feel slow at all. Its a 4-5 hours constant fast paced gameplay. So no reason to get bored at all. Overall, this game is all about atmosphere, tension, and immersion. It’s not trying to be something huge or overly complex. It just wants you to feel stuck, helpless, and constantly uneasy and it does that really well. Will I remember every detail? Probably not. Will I remember how it made me feel? Yeah… definitely. I’d recommend this if you’re into atmospheric horror and story-driven experience with lovecraftian horror and funny accent. (Some of the dialogues were really funny. I was dying laughing XD) Overall I rated this game 8/10. Can't wait to play the DLC to know more about what happens next! Edit:- One thing I should mention is getting all of the achievement in this game is actually easy to miss but not hard to do. Well, beside the one where you have to play the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game with Scottish Gaelic. Yeah you heard me correct.

The price to play is cheaper than a movie ticket and it turned out to be more fun: good level design, a linear walking simulator with a basic story but with good graphics and outstanding set design. Although it's not replayable, if you like Walking Simulators: it's worth playing once.

There isn't much to do here; no fighting, no inventory , and no puzzles to solve. There are no dialogue options or plot twists to unravel. Instead, you'll be simply walking through the entire game. So, why does it earn a 10/10 rating from me? It's hard to put into words. There’s something mesmerizing about this place. At start, as I wandered across the platform, listening to the cries of seagulls and the rhythmic crashing of waves, accompanied by industrial noises in the background, I could almost smell the sea with the scent of oil in the air. The creators crafted a realistic representation of the oil rig's facilities — a secret world that most of us will never experience in real life. By the time the horror struck, I was deeply engrossed in the place, understanding Scottish accent as if I had spent years working there. In that heightened state of mind, horror hits with a profound intensity. The abnormal, blatant, yet haunting kind of horror, the monstrous and supernatural dread that seeps right into your bones and mind. This experience, I dare to say, would have been weakened by typical gameplay elements like combat, puzzles, or dialogue options. Still Wakes the Deep stands as a prime example of why the walking simulator genre holds a unique value in gaming industry.
