What is this game about?

[issssk]

The trailer are useless in telling me what this game is. A puzzle game? A shooter? A walking simulator? An adventure game? A climbing game?
Even the reviews and some discussions underneath seem to be confused about this.

Can somebody please just tell me what the game is or maybe name another game which it is similar to?

Did you try to read the description?

"STILL WAKES THE DEEP is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre for The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.

You are an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for your life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the unknowable horror that’s come aboard."

Some light puzzle, story driven thriller adventure walking sim.

Yes, I did. Now show me where in the description it says that it's a "light puzzle, story driven thriller adventure walking sim"?

And btw. why do you assume that it's the same description in every language? The translation doesn't say "first-person narrative horror" btw.

I think the "light puzzle, story driver thriller adventure walking sim" is what the poster is describing what they would class the game as.

Which is pretty accurate.

Mostly a walking sim BUT a VERY GOOD one! I enjoyed it a lot.
The story telling and the characters are 10/10

Only downside is its pretty short, around 4-5h.

Which part can be considered as puzzle?

Probably the "light puzzle" part if I had to guess on behalf of OP.

First person light stealth/walking. Think bit simpler version of Alien: Isolation.

Some machines require light puzzle solving to turn on / operate. The solution is usually on the wall / poster.
