Still Wakes The Deep | Full Game Walkthrough | No Commentary

- Today we archive a horror game I had my eye on for a while. Still Wakes the Deep is the lastest game from studio Chinese Room who previously made games like Amnesia a Machine for Pigs and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Many people call their game style a "walking simulator" and even the developers themselves have used that term, so I will as well.
Their games have always had a huge focus on telling a beautiful and emotional story with gameplay more at a minimum. You were just always walking towards the next point of interest and maybe you had to open a door here or there.
But with Still Wakes The Deep they actually added some more and interesting gameplay to their formula and the result is their best game yet by far. We find ourselves on a massive oil rig in the middle of the North Sea when all hell breaks loose! The entire rig gets engulfed in a thick fog and weird noises can be heard. It does not take long before crew members are taken out and a danger starts roaming around the area. When it comes to atmosphere it really reminded me of a mix between a Lovecraftian Horror and the isolation and paranoia of The Thing.
The game looks amazing with detailed enviroments and stellar voice acting. The water physics are some of the best out there and you could almost feel the cold and harsh winds coming through.
The biggest reason why I think this game is so, so much better than Chinese Room's previous titles is that there are now many more characters involved in the story. The big problem with walking simulator games is that its often a very lonely experience with a character walking through a (often beautiful) enviroment and reading pages of text or speaking their mind.
But adding other characters to interact and talk to adds so much more immersion to the overal game. It felt awesome to roam around the oil rig and see all the mates during lunch break or at their posts. And even when there's trouble it felt great to see I was not the only one dealing with the problems.
I really hope that Chinese Room will continue this route and will have more characters in their upcoming games and story too. I understand that having more characters means more production money for voice actors and animators, but it adds so much more to the experience.
The game would have been so much less interesting if we were alone and exploring an abandoned oil rig.
When it comes to gameplay you will have to do plenty of parkour, find switches and levers and even have to do some sneaking. Probably the weakest part is somewhere in the middle where you head through dark, metal tunnels and have to do repetitive switch puzzles for quite a while, but other than that the overal expeirence and flow of the game was great. I love Loecraftian horror games and this is a welcome new one and I will definitely revisit this game in the future as Chinese Room's best achievement yet!

The wrench getting caught mid air by a ghost was a nice pallet cleanser lol. Thanks for the play through, this was haunting.
The voice acting in this game is a genuine delight to listen to.
😅sexy
Gosh I was on edge the whole time. And my anxiety was greatly enhanced by the player turning swivelling and checking their 6, as it made it seem like the mutants could sneak up out of nowhere. The Game Archivist, an excellent job once more ❤
Really enjoyed this. Very tense. Great voice acting, and great play through.
3:08:48 well that ruined the mood lol
Did they really have to fast forward the end credits?
Respect to your game play and the lack of commentary
i have been waiting for this game since january and it DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing video btw
This game does sometimes represent.The horrors it working on oil platform Well, minus the monster.The most Dangerous thing is just heavy fog and heavy snow.I used to work on an alaskan oil rig.
my question to you: is the pay worth working on an oil rig and just how dangerous is it?
@user-tw3mm6ru1s It's been five years since I worked on the rig but the pay was worth it Like.
Most High Intense jobs it can be dangerous Like I said the only dangerous part on rig I worked on was just heavy fog and heavy snow.
@@timelord5603 good to know
the most horrifying thing about this game is knowing it can only end in one way
One of the things that sticks with me, is the question of if the "Shape" is even a conscious being or not. Is it just going on automatic or is it planning anything? Is there a thought or instinct? How did it even get on Earth, or was it here this whole time?
Omg english is not my first language but it’s the first time when I don’t understand what they’re talking. What is this accent 😅?
Scottish 😂
@@QuintessentiallyBritishthanks ❤
So basically Dead Space on the oil rig, minus shooting part and kinda closed end since protagonist didn't make it.
Well played, Archivist.
2:15:55 I like how Caz just calls Brodie a prick. And Brodie just understands how Caz feels.
And am I the only one that noticed the majority of these monsters hate Caz?
Another cracking walkthrough. Simply terrifying!!!!
Good game! Good playthrough, TGA! 🕹
This reminds me of a tv show called "The Rig".
Great show. Waiting on the 2nd season.
What's it exactly, and ik it's about a rig, but I need specifics
Wow I did not expect to get so scared at 1:40:38😭😭😭
Artistcaleb would have loved this game 😿
I would have enjoyed his commentary 😿🪻🌹🪻🌹
thanks for the vid but i really wish you would look at the monsters more. cant see anything :(
1:14:23 Bro you missed the part where Davros called when he is at the life boats
What an awesome f*****g game! I want to truly thank you for making this game in the true language that makes the United States what it is today!
scots??
An interesting game but in the end I couldn't know what is that giant thing
I wonder what accent do the characters have. It kinda sounds like Scottish or so.
Perfect responds Caz 👌 2:15:55
Hi, I recommend about " Bride in the cave" . Can you play it?
Hello, the Game Archivist! An amazing game named 'Stellar Blade' has been released on PS5. You should archive it soon.
does anyone else have a problem with the game freezing? 47:44

Bro getting past trotts took me like 100 attempts even with this guide wtf was wrong with that part of the game
😢😅
so what's the plot?
Working on an oil rig, something cray cray happens and your character falls of the rig, you wake up and your crew mates are monsters and you have to keep the rig afloat and try to find a way out
Seems pretty obvious...
if only there were some way you could find out....
A lot of skill and talent went into this, it's just a shame that it was wasted on functionally the same generic Lovecraftian slop we've seen a million times.
Another Lovecraft-inspired game that does not really manage to convey the primal fear of the unknown and the uncanny that he tried to impart in his readers. I'm starting to wonder if games, having to be interactive, can even do that...
Well Lovecraftian horror as a horror style is a pretty low bar if you ask me.
Honestly, dude, I think you're giving Lovecraft a little too much credit.
@@nanzistnt2573 Only if you're set on mimicking Lovecraft to a tee. I've read more stuff that outdid Lovecraft on that front than stuff of his that actually met those expectations. Once I knew what he was really getting at, it was hard to look at his stuff with any positivity. Maybe just me, though.
Eh, I think the “terror” here has to come from a general sense of empathy. The character building was beautiful and heart wrenching. The sense of urgency and hopelessness was pretty untouchable in comparison to a lot of other games (hell even some movies.) I think maybe you’re looking for mind-bending dread in a game that didn’t really aim to convey that in the first place. Not going to lie, this game made me cry. The voice acting and cut-scenes were too sorrowful.
Nothing visual will ever be able to properly convey lovecraftian horror, considering 99% of it is based on things being uncomprehensible to the human mind.
😊❤🎉😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
First
2:29:15 wtf I can't get past this section

I think that’s scripted, I don’t believe you can even grip.
You're supposed to fall back in. Lol. Sheesh.
