Silver Screen mode comes to narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep in new update today

From Press Release:

Brighton, UK – December 10, 2024: It may be the holiday season, but your shift isn’t over – Cadal is tempting Beira D staff back to narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep with promises of gold, frankincense… and Muir. An update for the game is available now, adding a new Silver Screen visual mode, and a Chapter Select option to jump into the story wherever you please.

Silver Screen mode gives players the opportunity to experience the game in a stark monochrome, providing an even more cinematic and atmospheric experience. See the Beira D in a new light as you fight to survive on the collapsing rig – no yellow paint in sight. Silver Screen mode can be toggled at any time from the Video section of the Settings menu.

Also new to Still Wakes the Deep is Chapter Select, allowing you to relive your favourite moments of the game whenever you choose. The game has been separated into 23 scenes, allowing you to experience memorable scenes– such as Caz’s standoff with Rennick at the start of the game, or the eerily beautiful elevator ride through the pontoons – whenever you like. Chapter Select is available from the main menu.

Since launch, Still Wakes the Deep has received numerous accolades, including being named one of The New York Times’ Best Video Games of 2024, a nomination for Best Supporting Performer at the Golden Joystick Awards 2024, and winning two TIGA Awards for Best Audio Design and Heritage in Games. It is available now for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation®5. It is also available with Game Pass Ultimate. A physical PS5 release is available now from all good retailers.

About Still Wakes the Deep
Still Wakes the Deep is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre from The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Dear Esther, and the highly-anticipated Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.

In Still Wakes the Deep, the player assumes the role of an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the unknowable horror that’s come aboard.
