A key ingredient to a successful horror story is a good setting and Still Wakes the Deep, which takes place on a massive deep sea oil rig off the coast of Scotland, has a pretty killer one. The game also has a critically acclaimed, if somewhat divisive, creative team behind it in The Chinese Room, the British developer behind past indie hits such as Dear Esther and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. In other words, Still Wakes the Deep would seem to have quite a bit going for it at first glance. So, does the game successfully tap into its […]

I'm a bit conflicted when it comes to walking simulator games. On one hand, they can be a fantastic outlet for artistic expression. On the other, they can be a monotonous endeavor that heavily relies on padding to justify itself. Sometimes, games in this genre don't know how to advance their plots and just throw whatever they can at the player while progressing on autopilot. Unfortunately, this is exactly how REVEIL, the topic of today's review, handles itself. I feel like P.T. and Layers of Fear have caused an awful ripple effect when it comes to the development of indie […]
