Project: Indie - 50% off Still Wakes the Deep on the PlanetPlay marketplace

Today we’re excited to launch Project: Indie - a green discovery platform for indie studios within our online marketplace at planetplay.com – and to kick things off players can claim 50% off Secret Mode’s Still Wakes the Deep and its Siren’s Rest DLC.

We passionately believe indie games deserve a bigger stage – and a greener one. Indie studios are producing some of the most innovative, heartfelt and culturally relevant games out there.

Yet, for many of these creators, visibility remains a big challenge. At a time when more than 1,000 new games are released each month across platforms, standing out can be tough.

We believe that part of the solution lies in building not just visibility, but value: for developers, for players, and for the planet. We see a new kind of opportunity for indies: a stage where games are discovered not just for entertainment, but for impact.

How Project: Indie Works

Studios that join Project: Indie and list games on the PlanetPlay marketplace help to fund positive environmental change: 100% of PlanetPlay’s profits from each sale are donated to certified green projects, encompassing reforestation, water conservation and much more.

With plug-and-play integration and a clear business model, the Project: Indie initiative enables smaller studios to increase the discoverability of their games among an already engaged, passionate audience.

A Summer of Still Wakes the Deep

We’re excited to reveal that our friends at Secret Mode are one of the first studios to join Project: Indie, with their triple BAFTA award-winning Still Wakes the Deep and its Siren’s Rest DLC now available on the PlanetPlay marketplace at an amazing 50% off.

Developed by The Chinese Room and published by Secret Mode, Still Wakes the Deep is an adventure/horror game with strong Lovecraftian elements. Released in June 2024, it quickly gained momentum and is loved by fans of the genre.

The game settles you in as a working-class electrician, Caz McLeary, who’s stationed on an oil rig in the murky waters of the North Sea, along with his mostly Scottish crewmates. What starts off as just another day with the clang of pipes, the smell of diesel, and a round of banter with his tight‑knit team, quickly becomes a nightmare…

Indie games are bursting with creativity, but often find it difficult to gain the discoverability support they deserve. PlanetPlay and Project: Indie are here to champion them, not compete with existing platforms.

We like to think we offer an alternative stage, one where your game isn’t just another listing, but a meaningful choice.

If you’re an indie studio ready to do good while doing what you love, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can help players discover your game not just for what it plays like, but for the difference it makes.
