fans Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and All went to Rapture, don’t forget to mark June 18 in your calendar. You will be able to get a copy the same day Still Awakening the Deep For PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S and PS5, though you can also play it with Game Pass for Xbox and PC. This is the latest first-person narrative horror game from The Chinese Room, creators of the aforementioned titles in the same genre.
If the title itself isn’t clear enough, just a warning: Still Awakening the Deep Probably not for you if you have thalassophobia. It was set in 1975 and puts you in the shoes of an offshore oil rig worker in the waters of the North Sea. A “terrible, merciless enemy” has come aboard, and you’ll have to fight for your lives while helping the remnants of your crew survive amid storms and freezing temperatures. The game’s description says, “All lines of communication are down. All outlets are gone,” because horror stories aren’t any fun when you can easily call for help. You won’t have access to weapons either – you’ll have to use your wits and what’s around you to face the “horror of the unknown” and escape the facility entirely.
