Setting and environment
Still Wakes the Deep PC places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through environments built to be read rather than fought through. Play is presented from a first person view. 12 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Still Wakes the Deep PC is demanding
Demand in Still Wakes the Deep PC is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD RX 6700 XT / Intel Arc A750 Graphics Card in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. DirectX 12 is named, so Still Wakes the Deep PC expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The install is small at roughly 9 GB, on an SSD. Still Wakes the Deep PC needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Still Wakes the Deep PC?
Still Wakes the Deep PC targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA RTX 2050 / AMD RX 6000 / Intel® Arc™ A550 Graphics Card and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD RX 6700 XT / Intel® Arc™ A750 Graphics Card for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.03x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.58x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.26x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
