The Chinese Room and Secret Mode just announced a paid story expansion called Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest. The original game was a pleasant surprise for me last year. It dropped one night on Xbox Game Pass, and I’ve described it as The Thing, but Scottish and on an oil rig. I love it when horror games have a likeable cast of characters and they’re hyper competent – the crew of Caz, Brodie, Finlay, and Roy would have me laughing hysterically one minute and in my feels the next. I felt like Still Wakes the Deep was a complete game so I’m surprised this expansion takes place roughly a decade after it.
The year is 1986. The Beira D is now a groaning steel catacomb interred in the inky depths of the North Sea. What really happened that December day in 1975, when communications to the mainland were severed and the rig sank without a trace? What answers can be given to families who still grieve, ten years on? You are Mhairi. And you will find those answers. As the leader of a saturation dive to the wreck of the Beira D, you descend, a fragile light in the crushing dark. Your mission: uncover the fate of the crew and recover what remains of their passing.
You will need the base game of Still Wakes the Deep installed to play. The Chinese Room and Secret Mode highly recommend completing the base game to get a complete picture of the story. If you haven’t had a chance to try out Still Wakes the Deep, it’s currently available at 50% off on Steam, and Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest will receive a 15% pre-purchase and limited-time launch discount exclusively on Steam.
Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest will launch 18 June on Steam, Xbox via PC and Series X|S, Epic Games Store, and PlayStation®5 (PS5™), for $12.99
