Four slow walks in launch order.

About The Chinese Room

The Chinese Room builds slow walks with voice ghosts. Dear Esther from 2012 walks a Hebridean isle with letter narration. Everybody Gone to the Rapture from 2015 walks a Shropshire vale after the event with light orbs. Little Orpheus from 2020 climbs a comic deep center adventure.

Still Wakes the Deep from 2024 traps rig workers in a North Sea horror. Each world resets with no shared cast. Play in release order to see walk tools grow from isle to vale to rig. Early walks run 2 hours each, Orpheus runs 6, Deep runs 8. New viewers can start with the first entry for the cleanest introduction.

Good to know

There is no shared story order because places never link. Release order shows scope move from isle letters to vale orbs to rig horror best. Dear Esther teaches slow look. Rapture adds orb follow. Orpheus adds climb jumps. Deep adds stealth and water. The Brighton studio stays active with no next title dated beyond updates. Treat each as a standalone evening walk with one place to close.
