Who Goes There?During yesterday's Xbox Games Showcase (https://www.destructoid.com/xbox-games-showcase-starfield-direct-2023-recap/), publisher Secret Mode released a creepy teaser trailer for a new horror title, Still Wakes the Deep, which is currently in development for PC and Gen9 consoles.
Developed by The Chinese Room in Unreal 5, Still Wakes the Deep (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI74BV20B7g) sees an offshore oil rig in the North Sea under siege by a mysterious and terrifying entity. It's 1975, a storm is raging, and something has come aboard the Beira D rig. With lines of communication severed and escape seemingly impossible, there may be no other option than to face terror itself if you are to survive this horrific incident.

The teaser trailer offers little in the way of gameplay and concept, but we do get to see some very impressive visuals, as well as catch a glimpse of the foreboding, isolating atmosphere of the title. It all feels very The Thing, which is obviously a more than suitable comparison for '70s isolation horror. The Chinese Room is no stranger to horror, having developed titles such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody?s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther, and with the power of Unreal 5 in its hands, Still Wakes the Deep could eventually prove to be the studio's magnum opus.
Still Wakes the Deep is currently in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
