Still Wakes the Deep
Still Wakes the Deep is a first-person narrative horror game set on the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland in 1975. You play as electrician Cameron McLeary after disaster strikes during a violent storm, turning the rig into a collapsing maze of fire, flooding, and screaming steel. With no weapons and no safe way out, you must navigate damaged decks, crawlspaces, and maintenance corridors, overcoming environmental obstacles and staying quiet enough to avoid a mysterious presence hunting the crew.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a third-person asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the iconic 1974 film. Match after match, victims must work together under extreme pressure, picking locks, avoiding noise, and finding escape routes, while Slaughter Family players hunt, track, and trap them. Every chase is different, and every mistake can become a brutal highlight reel.
