Some plans fell through today so I decided to try Still Wakes the Deep. And I ended up playing it all the way through. Definitely the best Chinese Room game, in my opinion. And it’s almost as Scottish as Judero.
I like the way the game gradually introduces its horror imagery. And describing it as The Thing on an oil platform is pretty accurate.
Edit: I noticed that the credits mentioned something called Oil Strike '75. I thought maybe I missed a part in the game where you can play an arcade machine or something. But no, it’s actually a free game they released separately. I guess it was meant to be marketing but if so it never reached me, part of the target audience. (The free game is interesting, though.)
