Everybody's Gone to the Rapture studio's oil rig horror Still Wakes the Deep debuts gameplay

Ever wondered what it'd be like to be stranded on a North Sea oil rig with nothing for company but a otherworldly horror teetering the edge of all logic and reality? Well, would you believe it, there's a game just for you; it's called Still Wakes the Deep and first gameplay has just debuted.
