Stan is a professional diver who works for an oil company in the North Sea in the 1970s. He is trapped in his own mind as he deals with a life-changing loss and tries to find a new future. He is isolated from the rest of the world and starts to see strange events that are related to his memories.
He has a submarine and a special wetsuit that allow him to explore the underwater environment and encounter the wildlife. He is a slow and ponderous character who feels the pressure of the deep sea.
And Pistol Whip, Secret Agent Clank and more launch on PlayStation Plus Premium.
Night in the Woods is a lovely little indie graphic adventure. Alec Holowka conceptualised the game, the story and characters and made the beautiful music and was effectively murdered by the woke video game journalists who dog piled on top of him following false allegations.
This is one of the reasons I can’t stand most of these people, because they have no understanding of journalistic ethics which led to this poor man taking his own life.

Under Water and Chernobylite are great gets. I also really enjoyed Road 96.
Yea, this is actually a really good month.
These are games that are well regarded and have been highly praised.
I haven't played Road 96, but it seems like something i'd enjoy, I'm definitely going to give it a try.
For once it's a great month for Premium users:
Mr Mosquito is an hidden gem from the Ps2 era
Agent Clank is a great PSP game just like Pistol whip for VR.
But what a drag for extra users...
Still I Ill give The Plucky Squire a go ( and it's day 1 too)
An amazing piece of world-building that is complemented with some superb visuals and audio work, Under the Waves will keep you captivated for some eight hours or so. And come the end, you may just be sad that it has finished.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "What keeps Parallel Studio from drowning resides – ironically – at both extremes: the granular details and the grander ocean expanse. With the former, it's the subtler ecological tones that show the pairing with Surfriders Foundation wasn't merely a marketing gimmick; there's more baked into its design than a mere placard yelling "there is no Planet B!" With the latter, the imposing sense of scale subtly encourages you to disinter more about this world, and perhaps yearn to restore it along the way. But then so much in between, from its personal story to puzzle design, is anchored into being so… expected and by-the-numbers. How you weigh these pros and cons will depend on your Pacific taste."
