A unique horror experience
Acclaimed developer The Chinese Room transports you back to the 1970s in a first-person narrative horror set aboard one of Earth’s most isolated locations: a Scottish oil rig. All communication lines are severed. All exits are gone. Can you survive?
Navigate the rig
Explore the Beira D oil platform on a typical day before disaster strikes and unleashes an unknowable horror upon the rig. Then traverse a structurally unsound island of steel in a storm as it begins to slip downwards into the North Sea…
Face your fears
Confront phobias in your quest to rescue your crewmates. Climb towers, leap over drops, squeeze through gaps, negotiate submerged passages, and venture into areas of the rig home to an incomprehensible horror deadlier than any known predator.
Survive against all odds
Discover an unrelenting foe so powerful there’s no hope of fighting back. Sneak, distract, run and outsmart the unleashed horror in your endeavour to escape and make it home to your family.
Unrivalled authenticity
Christmas, 1975. Experience life as an off-shore worker in a meticulously designed Scottish oil rig, manned by an authentic crew. Discover the new universe from the award-winning masters of storytelling at The Chinese Room.
