Christmas Eve, 1975. You’re Caz McLeary, an electrician hiding from the law on a North Sea oil rig when disaster strikes—something ancient and unknowable erupts from the deep, transforming your crewmates into writhing nightmares. With no weapons, no escape route, and a platform crumbling into the icy waters, survival means navigating flooded corridors and storm-lashed decks while outwitting horrors that defy comprehension. Experience “The Thing on an oil rig” through authentic Scottish voices and period-perfect details that make every claustrophobic moment feel brutally real.

Side collaborated with The Chinese Room and Secret Mode to bring the audio of Still Wakes the Deep to life—casting, recording, and directing performances that would go on to make waves. Our team ensured every chilling moment resonated with players. The result? BAFTA-winning performances from Alec Newman (Performer in a Leading Role) and Karen Dunbar (Performer in a Supporting Role) that set a new standard for narrative-driven horror.
