Still Wakes the Deep is a [classic horror game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unhinged-horror-game) that is defined by its various forms, enticing players with a scary experience where violent creatures are stalking the walkways. They have thin and long limbs that come forth from their bodies similar to the look of bungee cords about to snap.

The ocean is another terrifying threat in the game which crashes under all the steps. There is also the Beira D oil rig itself which is a large industrial platform that is only supported by thin tension legs that are in the raging sea. All of these components lead to deadly results and it makes the background of the [first-person horror game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/end-of-abyss) designed by The Chinese Room studio.
