Great visuals, but lacks depth and logic

First of all - this game is free, at least if you don't buy the deluxe package. If you like the horror genre and point-and-click adventures which are not too hard to solve, play it. Still unsure? Read on. The game itself is quite short, depending on your adventures experience it'll take you 3 to 5 hours for a complete playthrough. It is set in the same "universe" as Stasis, some kind of sidestory, but mostly unrelated to the other game's events. Visually, the game is on par with many other recent isometric adventure games, using a mix of pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D characters and short video cutscenes. You play Hadley, a pregnant women which was brought to a Cayne Corporation facility againt her will. After barely escaping a deadly "fetus extraction procedure", Hadley tries to escape the desolated research facility. On her way, there are a lot of PDAs to find, containing much of the story's content in the form of personal diaries. This way of telling the story fits, but there are many gaps in the narration and some hints on Stasis which you won't understand if you haven't played that game. You still need to read the PDA texts, as they sometimes contain hints for the puzzles. Sadly, if you later look for a specific information, you need to walk to and use each PDA again, as there is no readily accessible journal. The puzzles are relatively easy to solve. Useable items are well highlighted on the screen. Some puzzles aren't really logical, like -SPOILER- using fine protein powder on an ID card to craft a replacement fuse out of it. As noted before, some hints are well-hidden in the PDAs, so read them carefully and take notes of any numbers you encounter to safe yourself long, slow walks through all the rooms. The ending is also relatively unsurprising, yet quite unsatisfying as it leaves some open questions. There are some secrets in the game. If you like to get the permanent achievements for those, play CAYNE on Steam where it's also free.

Really good puzzle game, like some puzzles game it have hard puzzles that don't make sense, but just see an walkthrough and pass the impossibles parts.

Great spin-off for Stasis!

CAYNE is a cinematic space horror game, much like the developer's previous game STASIS. It's obviously shorter but still, can't believe they actually released this for free! It's as high quality as a regular game, with great voice acting, well-made environments and a disturbing storyline taking you deeper into the horrible work of the Cayne Corporation. Definitely recommended to play after STASIS of course, so that you understood the full context of this free prequel. It plays about the same, although I do think they made some good upgrades for the inventory system. The PDAs look better as well, with an easier way to go through them. I recommend this to people who enjoyed STASIS and of course space horror in general! It's free so you got nothing to lose but your time investment.

Not Great, but Worth Your Time

This is a pretty short Point-and-Click Adventure that's a distant sequel to Stasis. If you haven't played Stasis, all you'll really miss is a little context and a few nods to the original game. At the time of this writing, it's free, so you don't have much to lose. It has the same basic mechanics as Stasis, so if you have played it, you'll be in very familiar territory. Cayne follows Stasis to a fault, and as such, the puzzles swing back and forth between satisfying and infuriating, and they certainly dip much lower on the scale than its predecessor. Of course, a walkthrough is a pretty easy solution to this kind of problem. The horror starts strong, and far more dark and brutal than its predecessor, further compounded by the fact that you're pregnant and wearing nothing but a pair of jeans and an almost-literal breastplate. I really like the main character; she's a very strong, believable protagonist, who's snarky and cynical, but not one of those annoying characters, who MUST throw a one-liner at every situation, no matter how unfunny or inappropriate. Though they don't have a lot of screen time, the supporting characters are generally well-written. In most instances with horror, however, the horror subsides, giving way to something else as you get closer to its conclusion; it's a natural progression. Theresia has deep, conflicting emotion; Resident Evil has Chris Redfield punching a volcano. You'll puzzle over this as you play Cayne, and as Hadley struggles through her environments, doubles over at the odd labor pain, and trudges barefoot through a very diverse array of unspeakably disgusting dirts and sludges, you'll slowly come to the realization that when Cayne's horror subsides, it gives way to torture porn, and it certainly does well with that. Hey, maybe you're into that sort of thing. Cayne has its flaws and feels a bit rushed, but it has a lot of heart and soul. It's nobody's masterpiece, but is definitely worth playing.
