Welcome to the first page in our Still Wakes the Deep walkthrough. Here, we'll be walking you through the Introduction of the game, which mostly serves as a means to set the game's main plot in motion as well as teach you its basic mechanics. Without further ado, let's begin.
Walkthrough
- 1Accommodation: The game begins with a cutscene featuring Caz's loved one, Suze. You gain control in Caz's quarters. Your first objective is to reach the Canteen. Learn about the 'Objective' indicator (Tab) and 'Hint' system (Left Mouse Button to interact). Movement controls are W/A/S/D, Shift to run (beware of the achievement for minimal running), and Control to crouch. Exit your quarters and explore the Cabin Floor. Visit rooms 101-113 for lore and an achievement. Proceed through the Showers, where you'll meet Finlay, who warns you about a letter from the mainland. You can unlock the 'McLeery' achievement by observing someone in the showers. Continue through the Cabin Floor, explore other quarters, and head down the corridor past Addair's room to find stairs leading down to the Canteen.
- 2Canteen: Before talking to Roy, speak with all available crew members: Trots, O'Connor, Gibbo, Brodie, Raffs, and Addair. This is necessary for the 'Social Butterfly' achievement. After speaking to everyone, talk to Roy. This conversation unlocks the 'All Beans and Forgiveness' achievement and leads to Rennick calling you to his office. Exit the Canteen and head towards the Deck.
- 3Main Deck: You'll start in a resting area. Proceed to the Main Deck, a large open area. Follow the path towards Rennick's Office. Turn left, take the stairs down. Speak to the welder blocking the path to continue working on the 'Social Butterfly' achievement. Follow the green section of the floor to a ladder. Use Right Mouse Button + W/S to descend the ladder. Find the open gate with blue handles to proceed.
