Last year’s first-person horror Still Wakes the Deep<\/a> combined three of my favourite things, namely Scottish people, oil rigs, and The Thing. It’s the best game that The Chinese Room has made yet in my opinion, and my only real complaint (if you can call it that) is that I would happily have played more of it.<\/p>\n

And as it turns out, we are <\/em>getting another slice of offshore Caledonian terror far sooner than you might have expected. The Chinese Room recently revealed Still Wakes the Deep is getting an expansion, and you’ll be able to dive into its murky depths next week.<\/p>\n

[Spoilers for Still Wakes the Deep follow]<\/em><\/p>\n

Titled Siren’s Rest, the DLC takes place 11 years after the events of the original, placing you in the role of Mhairi, a saturation diver leading a team to investigate the wreck of the Beria D (Does it count as a wreck if it’s an oil rig? Answers on a postcard please.) now scattered across the floor of the North Sea. Your mission is to uncover what exactly happened to the crew and recover their remains.<\/p>\n

The DLC, which The Chinese Room says will last around 2 hours, adds some light detective elements to the experience. You’ll need to photograph human remains and collect mementos of the dead. Also, since the Beria D is now a broken, twisted mass of steel, you’ll need to navigate through it carefully, using tools like a cutting arc and a crowbar to break through blocked-off areas.<\/p>\n
