Still Wakes The Deep Looks Horrifying
Fancy A Bit Of Lovecraftian Terror?
While not explicitly marketed as a Lovecraftian story,the location of an abandoned oil rig in the middle of an icy sea does lend itself to such a genre. As Caz attempts to discover what caused the station to become cut off from the main base of operations, it becomes clear that there’s something distinctly inhuman prowling around the decks. The story islargely inspired by John Carpenter’s classic horror movieThe Thingas well asAnnihilation, Midsommar,andSuspiria.
When it comes to fighting off the monster that’s attempting to kill off the oil rig’s survivors, Caz’s options are limited but they’re certainly not useless.Navigating the world itself is perilous as the blistering storm outside makes simple traversing the scaffolding and decks dangerouswhile the more confined interiors feel like traps just waiting to be sprung. The Chinese Room has already proven itself as an excellent storyteller with a penchant for all things spooky, so it’s reasonable to suspect thatStill Wakes The Deepwill deliver the kind of experience fans have come to expect from the studio.
