The Chinese Room has dropped a fascinating short documentary about how it is constructing the worldbuilding in its upcoming 70s horror, Still Wakes the Deep.
Lead environment artist Iain Gillespie, associate art director Laura Dodds, and lead designer Rob McLachlan discuss “how the environment will evolve over time as well as the key inspirations behind the game’s horror”.
“The period, the geographical location of the rig – these all play a crucial role in this narrative-driven horror story,” explains publisher Secret Mode. “Fans will discover how the team developed a fascination for cranes and scoured British Petroleum’s documentary archives when striving for an authentic representation of a Scottish oil rig in the 1970s.”
