The Rig

La Plataforma

The storm has them trapped. But it's not what is killing them.

A decommissioned oil rig, now a prison. A pilot who only wants to get home. And down below, something lurks. Something patient. Survival horror you can actually read in Spanish — at beginner level.A decommissioned oil rig, now a prison. A pilot who only wants to get home. And down below, something lurks. Something patient.

The Story

There's a killer among them. But is it human?

Alma flies the company circuit between offshore prison rigs. One more landing, one more shift, and she is home with her family. Then the storm closes in. She's stranded with the prisoners.

A man dies with a throat full of crude. On a rig full of violent men there is no shortage of suspects. And the killer may not be human at all.

Slow, patient, and it never stops — in Spanish a beginner can actually read.
