Article: Alex Hopley – Gamereactor.cnStill Wakes the Deep looks like one of the most interesting horror games coming out. It’s a new IP, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t draw from classic horror movies, TV shows, books, etc. to create its own unique atmosphere and way of scaring you.asXbox Partner Preview PostAs revealed in (we also saw some thanks to the partner previewGameplay), the premise of Still Wakes the Deep is essentially The Thing, but set on an oil rig.“Our elevator pitch for the project was: ‘Something’ on an oil rig. This short phrase, spoken within seconds, sparks a spark in those who hear it, instantly getting them creatively excited about the game ,”said lead designer Rob McLachlan. However, this isn’t just a 1:1 remake of “Monster,” but it’s set on an oil rig. Still Wakes the Deep also draws inspiration from many other horror products. Its transformations of beauty and horror mix the creativity of Annihilation. Its structure is inspired by Poseidon Adventure, and its dark 70s inspired by Sapphire and Steel. All of this combines to create a horror game that looks like it would be a refreshing one, and if it could be a mix of all these amazing Ghost IPs, then that sounds impressive.
