The Chinese Room and Secret Mode have revealed the voice talent behind their upcoming narrative horror Still Wakes the Deep. To coincide with the announcement, a mini-documentary has been released on YouTube that features some of the cast sharing their thoughts on the game.
You are an off-shore oil rig worker, fighting for your 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.
The Chinese Room are no strangers to the horror genre, being the team behind Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, as well as the haunting science fiction masterpiece Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. Among the voice talent behind Still Wakes the Deep are Alec Newman (Hitman, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077) and Neve McIntosh (Dracula, Doctor Who, Tin Star).
“The thing was so well written, and so well-conceived, that I don’t recall having very long conversations about what Caz should sound like,” says Newman in the mini documentary, discussing what struck him about Still Wakes the Deep. “With this, you can feel the writing, you can feel the characters.”
The full cast list is as follows:
- Alec Newman as Caz
- Neve McIntosh as Suze
- Karen Dunbar
- Michael Abubakar
- Clive Russell
- Shaun Dooley
- Stewart Scudamore
- Nicholas Boulton
- Duncan Pow
- Sandy Batchelor
- Alan Turkington
- Noof Ousellam
