Announced at the Xbox Games Showcase, Still Wakes the Deep is a first-person, narrative horror developed by the award-winning studio The Chinese Room and published by Secret Mode, built in Unreal Engine 5.

1975. Disaster strikes the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. 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. 

Still Wakes the Deep is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre from The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.
