Michael Abubakar Nominated for BAFTA Games Award and More!

We are over the moon to share that Michael Abubakar has been nominated for Performer in a Supporting Role at this year’s BAFTA Games Awards for his performance as Brodie in Still Wakes the Deep.

Still Wakes the Deep is a psychological, horror game. It’s 1975 and disaster strikes the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You (the player) must navigate the collapsing rig to save your crew from an otherworldly horror on the edge of all logic and reality.

We are also thrilled to share that we have many artists involved in games that have made the shortlist.
