A great one-night stand: gamers are happy with Still Wakes the Deep from the author of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
The release of psychological horror Still Wakes the Deep from The Chinese Room studio - the author of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, who is currently finishing the development of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.
Critics have already expressed their opinion about the project, calling it atmospheric, scary, but boring, and gave the game average marks. But gamers were more favourable to Still Wakes the Deep.
Here's What We Know
Since Steam is the most open platform, we will rely on its data.
Yes, Still Wakes the Deep didn't cause a furore in the gamer community, but it's unlikely that the developers counted on it, creating a game in not the most popular genre.
During the first day Still Wakes the Deep's peak online audience didn't reach a thousand people, but it's worth considering that the game is also available in Game Pass service, so many gamers don't need to buy it.
Those who have tried the game - were satisfied, and the horror recommends 90% of users - this is an excellent indicator.
Gamers note an interesting plot, excellent dialogues, thick atmosphere of horror and not bad technical execution.
Perhaps, one of the main advantages of Still Wakes the Deep is its duration: the game can be completed in 5-6 hours, and even so it seemed to some gamers a bit long. In addition, the horror is much cheaper than most modern novelties and is sold with a small discount.
The game is available on MS, Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
