ABOUT THIS GAME
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 off-shore 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.
Search for your crew and help them survive if you can. Run, climb, and swim through the flooding corridors and storm-lashed outer decks. Face a terrifying, unrelenting foe. And pray that, one day, you get to see your family again.
The Chinese Room – with its reputation for world-class world-building, audio, writing, and acting – delivers a symphony of action, trepidation, tender emotions, and awe.
LIVE THE HORROR
An immersive disaster story aboard a stunningly-realised North Sea oil rig, starring an authentic cast of Scottish actors. Experience the beauty and ferocity of the sea as it rips apart one of humanity’s strongest structures and its steadfast crew.
ESCAPE THE RIG
No weapons. No powers. Just your wits and determination. Struggle for survival on an unstable oil rig, where one wrong step could be your last.
FACE YOUR FEARS
Something has turned your home into a nightmare, where the familiar becomes threatening, and where a noise in the dark fills you with dread. Resist the urge to turn back. Confront the unknown.

Looks and sounds very interesting. It seems they've improved on the excruciatingly slow movement of their previous games, which were otherwise enjoyable experiences.
I wonder if it'll feature now all too common run & hide sections, unlike their previous games? (EDIT: Well, two of them, excluding the Amnesia sequel) The 3rd GIF seems to imply so. If it will, that's going to be a deal-breaker, unfortunately.

Oh, okay, I thought this might be cool but with these guys involved, it's a hard pass.

Aye, they're literal "walking sims" with zero gameplay whatsoever (Dear Esther, Amnesia AMFP, Everybody's gone to the rapture).
Don't get me wrong, i love atmospheric stuff, it's just that i expect SOME kind of gameplay at the very least and not pressing forward on an analogue stick and the interaction button every now and then for the whole duration of a game.

Guess my GAF bros and gals are not that excited for this one 
. I quite liked both games I've played from The Chinese Room (e.g. Dear Esther and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture), so I'll def be keeping an eye on this one.

I like walking sims but this developer in particular never made anything that I liked. They just take this idea to an extreme by literally having no gameplay whatsoever and it's just walking and listening to the plot. If I wanted to do that I'd watch a movie or something. At least I wouldn't be required to keep holding the play button on my remote.Guess my GAF bros and gals are not that excited for this one

Looked great, but its hard to capture the tension of a game like this and how you feel at that point, and so on.

Anything that references The X-Files is OK in my book.
Represent.

I'm retarded?
How are devs still making walking sims when they can literally add a ton of gameplay features in their games? It was a shitty fad years ago, and it still is. At least Amnesia The Bunker pulled some risky moves with its gameplay and made it more immersive-sim like. Also The CHinese Room, yeah. Nah.

Atmosphere looks incredible. Gameplay wise my expectations are set accordingly. Hopefully at the right price this will sell well.

During yesterday's pc gaming show the devs shared this new look into how they are approaching the music composition for the game.

Any news on a release date, I'm sure it was supposed to be January? Really like the look of this.
