Still Wakes the Deep
HORROR CENTRALITY
92 /100

The game is pitched as a narrative horror experience focused on fear, dread, and survival aboard a collapsing oil rig with no weapons. The intended player experience centers on confronting the unknown and feeling vulnerability, not on combat or power fantasy. Removing horror would fundamentally change the core identity.
