Space horror at its finest!

STASIS is a decent space horror game with disturbing graphics and an interesting storyline. I'm surprised this game was made by a three man-studio, as the quality of the game feels much higher than that! The story itself is pretty trope-y, you play as your Regular Joe waking up on a spaceship and you start looking for your family. However it does lead into something more, something worse and it does tie into a really good ending with twists and turns. Reading the PDAs that are available gives more background lore, making the setting even better. The characters might be trope-y but they're not over the top and the voice acting is actually really good. Gameplay-wise it's puzzle solving with simple point n click mechanics and sometimes timing involved. It makes the good flow on and you can instead focus on the story and the environments, which are both beautiful and terrifying. This game is visually appealing, however at times maybe a bit too dark graphically speaking. However the game is dark itself as well, based on both the storyline and the fact that your character can meet his death in several gruesome ways, both self-inflicted and by the surrounding environment. I recommend this to any space horror fan! It's really good and I can't wait for the upcoming sequel! In the meanwhile I'll play the other games released by this dev.

Mostly Excellent Puzzle Game

World building and atmosphere are excellent. I found myself reading every data log and every description. The plot was a little predictable but really I wasn't here for that, it was absolutely serviceable just not mold breaking or anything. It's made up for with the detail and style the setting oozes. The puzzles are as titled, mostly excellent. There is almost no moon logic in this game, and I would hesitate even to call the more esoteric puzzles moon logic, just perhaps a bit 'large' of a logical leap. I only hit maybe a handful of moments where I was left going 'what?' and typically it was only a blip in a puzzle chain where the rest was perfectly fine (perhaps this is what made it stand out more) I highly recommend the game, it clocked in at about 5 hours for me, but be aware there are a few 'can't get item until character knows you need item' moments and a few 'wait around for a thing to happen before puzzle can progress' moments. Don't feel ashamed double checking a guide if you get tripped up for these.

Could have used much more dev time

Its interesting enough to keep going, but the animations and audio are just bad. It sounds like the player character is panting directly in my ear, but if I use speakers instead of headphones, I can't hear the low key ambient sounds. Also, there is no options menu at all to adjust audio or video anything.

1998 called.....

....and asked if it can have its game back. I can understand there is an appeal for late nineties aesthetics but I will never understand why it had to include broken pathfinding, confusing puzzles and a below mediocre story. Stasis strongest asset is it's atmosphere which if you've played games like System Shock, Dead Space or watched movies like Event Horizon or Pandorum will recognize immediately. Visually it looks okay, it gave me flashbacks especially to Odium (Gorky 17 here) and to a lesser extend Planescape and Fallout. It does strikes me odd they also included all the bad things from that era like the earlier mentioned clunky controls, bad pathfinding and the pixelhunting and downright annoying puzzles. [spoiler] The most dissappointing part is the story however, which seem to rely solely on gore and isolation. While I was hoping it would get good at some point, this has been a very underwhelming story. It wasn't just depressing because of certain events that occur but also of its clichéd narrrative and characters, complete with greys and a mad scientist. I cringed from the idea I had to sift through more poorly written PDA logs for clues. [/spoiler] Stasis is often compared to Sanitarium, while on a surface level that may be true but Sanitarium had a heart and a soul and as such is a far superior (written) game.

The worst kind of PnC/Puzzlers.

I'm a big fan of Point-And-Click games. I love solving puzzles. The catch is, I want to feel like *I'm* the one solving the puzzle, that I'm figuring it out via logic and rules of the game world, and that the solution makes sense. Further, I'd like to have an idea of what the puzzle even is. Stasis fails at all of this. Solutions to some puzzles seemed completely arbitrary. There was no "a-ha, that makes sense" moment upon solving them. I didn't even realize In some cases, I was solving puzzles' til I'd solved them, and then didn't know what they were for. I will say the game is nice looking. Lots of ambience in the world and graphics, etc. The sound-effects clearly lifted from Alien and other movies was kinda cheesy and lazy, though.
