Abstract
"Still Wakes the Deep" is a video game developed by The Chinese Room that falls into the genre of "walking simulators." The game is set on a 1970s North Sea oil rig and features an eldritch horror. Players take on the role of a Glaswegian electrician and must navigate the rig while avoiding monsters. The game's period setting is well-crafted, immersing players in the atmosphere of the time. However, some aspects of the game, such as repetitive puzzles and not feeling scared by the monsters, were criticized. Overall, the game's unique atmosphere and exploration-focused gameplay may appeal to fans of the walking simulator genre. [Extracted from the article]
