This horror game is my highlight of Gamescom–and it’s not even out yet

The aren’t many games that unflinchingly use the C-word. So, as soon as it was dropped in the Still Wakes the Deep Gamescom 2023 gameplay demo, I knew this was going to be my kind of game. Not because I’m some sort of swearing connoisseur, but because I knew, once again, British developer The Chinese Room is doing things its way. It’s doing something a bit different. Also, I’m Irish and we do love a good swear.

Its latest title is set in the ‘70s on an oil rig off the coast of Scotland. It’s an out-of-the-box concept from the studio behind Dear Esther and Amnesia: Machine for Pigs, but after watching the gameplay demo for Still Wakes the Deep, I am sufficiently hyped. In fact, it’s been my highlight of the whole show.
