Many have commented on the exceptional voice acting in "Still Wakes the Deep". Who's a better person to tell all about it than the game's Lead Voice Director, the brilliant Kate Saxon. 🗣 Latest Behind the Scenes Dev Diary by Kate - https://lnkd.in/da-UGtMx & on Steam: https://lnkd.in/dR24dAbM "We explored Caz's and Suze's marital relationship, allowing us to play scenes in many different ways, in order to get to the heart and the truth of where their relationship was." (There's cool stuff about "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" there, too!✨)

Here's a lil sample 😆👇

Movies are known to be using practical effects. Games can use them too! For "Still Wakes the Deep" we collaborated with Video Artist Sam Spreckley and used real celluloid film, sometimes burnt, for effects frequently encountered in the game.

Authenticity is key to The Chinese Room's games. The scarf in Caz's cabin in "Still Wakes the Deep" is not just any asset we plucked out of nowhere. It's got history... Around 150 years of it, in fact. It was thrilling to collaborate with the legendary Glaswegian Partick Thistle Football Club on this! 🖤 Read more about a story behind a scarf in another behind-the-scenes Dev Diary: https://lnkd.in/d-vGeC4y Or on Steam: https://lnkd.in/dDGiqDQg
