Hangar 8 is an indie psychological horror game where the player takes on the role of a lone crew member trying to escape a derelict space station beset by bewildering—and sometimes dangerous—anomalies. The rest of the crew has seemingly died horribly and it’s up to you to figure out a way past what they could not. Fortunately, they’ve left concise accounts of their findings and experiences with the anomalies on data pads around the ship, and you learn early on that your goal is to proceed to the titular Hangar 8, enter the command center, and escape the space platform via ship. The only catch is the eight decks between you and the escape ship are lousy with otherworldly distortions that can be subtle or overt, and if you try to pass a deck when these are present, bad things could happen

All in all, it’s an excellent title with a memorable story, though not one where you should pick at the seams too much lest you dampen your enjoyment. It’s a game you should play to experience rather than “beat.” Through a mix of aggressive enemies and sparingly-used scripted sequences, Still Wakes the Deep masterfully orchestrates its cycle of tension, dread, panic, and reprieve, balancing all seasons equally.
