A Morbid Biohorror Wonder

I'm going to avoid wanting to discuss this games plot beyond a strong hook of a start that kept me fixated on learning what occured, no matter how horrific. Stunning model work on the characters in cutscene but Cayne's Reign. I congratulate you Brotherhood for getting a surprising amount of physical discomfort out of me via visual. Weirdly optimistic at tines too despite the flesh fueled corporate horror factory you find yourself in.

Thoroughly enjoyable grotesque adventure

For some reason, when I told my wife that I was busy playing "Bone Totem", her face broke into a smirk. I can't think why. My humiliation is compounded by the fact that after 16 hours enjoying this wonderful puzzle game, and muddling through all sorts of bones and totems, I'm not exactly sure to which bone or totem the titular "Bone Totem" refers. In any case, "Stasis: Bone Totem" is wonderfully atmospheric puzzle adventure game. You control three characters, swapping between them to solve macabre puzzles. The characters are brought to life by eerily realistic portraits and passionate voice acting. You'll take them through a series of grotesque adventures on an abandoned rig as they come to terms with grief and, well, capitalism. While some of the environments are macabre, I can't say the game scared me at all. The nods to the horror movie classics are many, but danger is clearly telegraphed, and there's no real sense of vulnerability here. The writing is also often lacking. On the second screen of the game, ordinary sea water is described as "void-black broth slapping ... as if distressed." It doesn't get better, and the plot somewhat heavy-handed at times. Fortunately, you can skip past the irrelevant text and focus on the more interesting puzzles thanks to the game's excellent ping system, which always gives you the thread to find the next clue in your environment. And the puzzles are satisfying. They hit a just-right sweet spot of difficulty and intrigue without leaps of logic. So, minor gripes aside, I thoroughly enjoyed Stasis: Bone Totem. You'll want to find out what happens to the end. It's a game that's been made with a great deal of care, and I recommend it to non-squeamish people looking for a good puzzle game. + Gorgeous, grim environments + Great mix of puzzles and progression + Voice acting brings the characters to life + Decent length + Just good in a way games often aren't anymore - Questionable writing - Some puzzles too easy

Deep story, voice acting, art design

I played the origin Stasis shortly before buying this title. I generally like both titles a lot. Still they differ a bit in style. The horror aspect is lost a bit in Bone Totem due to a three character setup and also a bit due to the interface. In the original Stasis there was no hotspot highlighting at all. Deliberately as the devs said back then to create better immersion. This was sometimes annoying since one can miss interactive hotspots that you need to hunt for to progress in the game. Here in Bone Totem the hotspot highlighting system is finally there, also logically kind of well integrated as a "ping" into the game world that highlights interactive and non-interactive hotspots not only on the currently visible screen but also beyond the corners of the current view. This is actually quite distracting the gameplay and immersion. You no longer have to pixel hunt but I find the approach a bit too distracting. The game turned out surprisingly big for me and I had a long and fun time playing it. Even if it is not feeling as lonesome and frightening as the former Stasis title the story stays interesting and I had fun pushing forward. The characters are really memorable. Even if some aspects of the story are a bit too far fetched or unlogical the overall game adds up and makes you think. It even mirrors some or our real life present, where our society and humanity is or might be going to.

high quality well paced point and click

first point and click I have finished, great atmosphere, voice acting, and reasonable puzzles. if you are looking for a great weekend horror game for October this is well worth your money. also bundling a walkthrough guide with the nice soundtrack is a great play and well worth the cost whether or not you get lost.

Excellent First Point-and-Click Game

The story is excellent. Lots of convenience for a point-and-click adventure game. I have a few problems with some puzzles, but this is a great play. I tried not to be too tied to the guide, but about halfway through I got so invested in the story I had to blast through the game.
