    I don't think the ending is 'all in your head' I think the ending is Cass actually dying and he just has one final vision of his room with his wife before passing on, while his wife is writing a letter to him not knowing he's dead.

      I think it's just that thing or whatever feeding its lifeforce on his dead self. Like this def can't be an all in its head if there is no divorce happening. The entity does gibe me some karmic qualities to it considering how the boss is a worse version of himself, much bigger. Which prob in that case has its own sense of vengeance, and then seemingly rewarding Caz for doing what he's gotta do. In a way, arguably a worse fate of thinking it's all in your head in your mind, but somehow actually not, so I find it grim itself either way.

    I played this game when it came out yesterday and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed Pyro just assumed it was 'all in le head' without really thinking about it for more than like 4 seconds. There are SO many things in the game that point towards it being real such as Finlay saying she also hears voices of her own family, the fact that none of the monsters really seem to represent anything about Caz (As well as being random crewmen other than Addair and Rennick) and neither does the strange alien seaweed, the fact that it's well established Caz has never worked on an oil rig before taking this job and the last screen of the oil rig not being where it was at the start I think is supposed to show that it did indeed sink. The last scene of Caz waking up before he leaves I think is just meant to hit home how sad and unfortunate Caz's death was as he didn't even get a chance to properly say goodbye to his wife or kids before he left for the rig. I do think maybe the devs could have made it a little clearer by maybe including a faint radio report of the rig sinking but otherwise I think far more points towards the events we see taking place being real than being dreamt up by Caz.
    Edit: I should've clarified that I'm more disappointed because he kinda just took it at face value and chat spamming "all in le head" for the entire last 10 minutes of the game probably didn't help either.

    You know for someone who can make an eight hour long video essay that clearly shows media literacy capability its surprising that a little confusion and a ton of "le head" spam can convince that same individual to throw their media comprehension out the window.
    It was clear that everything on the rig was real, but what was even more clear was the fact that no one was going to live. This is a cosmic/eldritch horror, akin to The Thing, as such there's a very slim chance that anyone would survive and if they did it would have been in an ambiguous ending. This kind of horror surrounds the unknown so why would it be immediately comprehended then solved? you cant adapt and overcome an all encapsulating force.
    Once again the fact that McCleary's memories are being played out via hazy memory or telephone is just another aspect of that cosmic horror; as it is seen in this genre that these otherworldly beings are able to not only alter organic materials but also drive people mad in an attempt to have them released onto the world at full capacity. This is then backed up by the fact that Finlay, who seems to have gone mad, in their final moments asks is we hear a voice too.
    Then the final letter from McCleary's wife was just to make the end sadder saying that he died thinking his wife was going to divorce him when in fact all she wanted was for him to come home safe. I just think its strange that Pyro was unable to think for himself at the end, getting annoyed that the dead character wasn't going to have more game to it, when the very fact that this game is in the subgenre of horror that it is already determined the outcome before he hit new game.

Even if those complaints make no sense, he's framing everything about the game using them. I don't know what Pyro's like or watch his stuff much, but I can tell you for sure that a lot of video essays or whatever are one part the video producer's own analysis and another part stitching together other people's opinions in a way where it all feels contiguous and to what degree depends on the person.

    Since it didn't seem to be obvious for Pyro, Still Wakes the Deep is a Lovecraftian horror game with elements of the Thing added to the mix. Part of the horror is essentially all in le head, but that's because the monsters straight up mess with your mind, as is evident by the whack ass DMT trip effects and Caz's hallucinations. It isn't until after Caz encounters that one heavily infected dude who ends up stabbing him several times with tentacles that his hallucinations start to get worse, and that's because Caz is infected at that point. Any sense of safety or reprieve from the horror at the end is all in Caz's head, as he's still stuck on the oil rig, now probably a horrible mess of flesh and suffering like the rest of the crew.

    • @Vegito_Fanpage

      I don't think he got infected. The ending shot clearly shows us that the oil rig is no longer where it's supposed to be, so the explosion was definitely not just in his head. Plus, there's no way he survived the explosion with how close he was to it while also covered in oil from wading through to the drill. He succeeded in sinking the rig and preventing it's spread to the mainland.

    I love how you hear your loved one's voices as you get close to the central monster. As far as I can tell none of the monster realize that they're monsters, even when crawling around as a giant head trying to kill you. Rennick even says "I don't want to die here Caz." begging for his life like he wasn't literally trying to end yours. Since even the human characters can hear the voices of their loved ones, it suggests that maybe the monsters are in a state of bliss, unaware of their torment because they keep getting persuaded by their loved one's voices that they're okay, or maybe they're just living happy memories. Then again it could just be they're long dead, and in fact the monster is just mimicking what they might say in these scenarios, with no idea that they'd respond differently if they were turned into giant heads or whatnot.

So the storeroom isn't a storeroom to it, it's "That fucking storeroom" as it keeps repeating. Or the renneck monster pulling rageful responses to seeing caz probably thinking it'd lure us closer instead of frightening us. If we want to think of the monster as some sort of pure parasyte or animal this kind of mimicry this would make sense.

    Pyro. It wasnt a metaphorical all in le head game. The monsters were real. The weird fleshy things were real. The weird flashbacks is precisely because of the weird underwater fleshy things melding minds like the coral from Prey.
    The difference between the start and end letters is another tragic detail. Caz got that letter from his wife asking for divorce, which she wrote when she was still angry at him for his stupidity. But then she writes another one (the final letter) apologizing for her previous letter and tells him how much she loves him and how much she hopes he's doing fine. Caz never received this letter. He died sacrificing himself to save his family. And all the while, thinking his wife hated him.
    Its not "all in le head purgatory" because other characters confirm hearing the voices of people they love and miss. Also the fact the oil rig dissapeared is because you blew it the fuck up. Of course nothing would remain of it.

    Also, DW, this game wasn’t an “All in the head” type game. The ending is basically a transition to the afterlife for Caz. One last moment with Suze (or his memory of her) before moving on.
    The way I see this game, due to all the political subtext shown throughout the background of the game, is that whatever the Beira D drilled into is some ancient Eldritch organism. And that the infection that spreads across the rig is a Lovecraftian case of Divine Punishment for Cadal’s sins against the Earth (Like Trots mentioned at the start, Cadal had planned on putting even more faulty, barely functioning rigs out onto the North Sea to suck out as much profits as they can for as cheap as they can)
    In particular, the Beira is targeted by this organism due to Rennick’s presence, as Rennick is stated to be pretty high up in Cadal’s hierarchy, making him directly responsible for the poor quality of the Beira. It would also explain why Rennick seems to transform on the Heli despite not getting the contaminated oil on him. He transforms because he’s the main target of this organism. It would also explain why he’s the least corrupted, appearance-wise. Ironically, the egotistical boss ends up as just a giant head.

    My interpretation of the ending is that the whole game isn’t in Caz’s head. Him hearing Suze and himself throughout the game was the monster ripping memories out from his mind and taunting him with them, as Finlay said that she heard her son when he was young as she was dying. The ending where he wakes up is the final dream of a dead man, wishing for it to all be fake and wake up with his wife in bed, but when he leaves the room he realizes that he is indeed dead and accepts that fact, leaving his family one last time. The letter Suze reads at the end is a letter she sends to him, not realizing he gave his life to save the planet, and to save his family.
