Built in Unreal Engine 5, Still Wakes The Deep has launched for Windows and consoles. Music for the first-person narrative horror game is by Dead Space series composer Jason Graves.

The player controls a Glaswegian electrician stationed on the Beira D oil rig in the North Sea during a perilous storm, where all lines of communication are severed. Developer The Chinese Room chose a setting that could reliably inspire vertigo and claustrophobia in the player, paired with narrative-based stealth gameplay and environmental puzzle-solving.

Still Wakes The Deep Original Soundtrack is streaming on the composer's SoundCloud channel, featuring live strings and woodwinds players complemented by analog synthesizers. The 25-track game score is hosted on Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited streaming platforms.

A behind-the-scenes video with the composer, senior sound designer Francesco Del Pia, and audio director Daan Hendriks can be viewed on the developer's YouTube channel. Still Wakes The Deep is included with Game Pass, currently available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, along with Windows through Steam and the Epic Games Store.


From the product page:

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

You are an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for your 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.
