Gameplay scenes from the long-awaited video game set on a collapsing oil rig in Scotland’s North Sea have been released.
Still Wakes the Deep, the latest game from the Brighton-based developer The Chinese Room, is based on the fictional disaster of the Beira D oil rig, located off the coast of Scotland.
Set in December 1975, the player will need to navigate the collapsing rig to save their crew from an otherworldly horror on the edge of all logic and reality.
The gamer will control an offshore oil rig worker fighting for their life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters.
Here's the first look at a couple of gameplay scenes from Still Wakes the Deep.
