CAYNE

2/5 4/10 (To all the ppl that say they cant find their way out of the first rooms, u go through the floor/ceiling. I didnt get this either myself and had to look up video for it) I just played through all 3 Stasis games and the original is definitely the best, I cant recommend the followups. Is it woke in that way we dont like seeing right now? No not really. Trigger Warning: BE AWARE that anyone that feel strongly against abortions will probably not like this game much. The entire game is about a woman who hates her unborn child and want to get rid of it and goes to get it cut out, which leads into the world and story of Stasis and more of their experimentation stuff we saw in the first game. It also has, throughout the game, several comments from her that dont exactly sound like she loves the child or has any sort of regret over killing it. At the time we see her wake up she is heavily pregnant and close to giving birth, but she was less pregnant at the time she went to have it aborted, so has been kept in stasis to grow the baby for them. A few times lines from another npc such as something like 'Cayne tried to have ur baby killed' etc, had me go 'well so did she so.. So, just a fair warning for those that have strong feelings about these things, it might trigger something for u. It was just not as interesting and the puzzles made less sense to me and was not as good. Some of the stuff like the table with bonus achievement stuff and those numbers didnt make any sense to me at all even watching it on video. As with Stasis, the cinematics are superb, the exit pan out in the end was also really good, this is my favourite part about the Stasis games, the cinematic and voice over acting makes u feel it, so gj on that! The voice acting itself was not that bad but the lines/script was not good in this one imo. Runs out of the box on Linux for me. -Arch Linux EndeavourOS

Not sure if I'm an idiot or what but this feels like pixel hunting the game. It looks good, the music good bu thats it.

So yehhh, free game that after a few minutes into it tells you why nobody wants to pay for it. The story is bad, really bad, really really bad. Movement speed is so slow that I usually was able to fetch tee or coffee in the meantime. Now try to imagine you solving puzzles that require moving around a couple of screens... . And then riddles... my god the riddles. Some of them are straight up retarded, some of the not logical and some childishly easy. The last category applies to the main boss/monster. I figured out how to ......... spoiler spoiler.............. kill it in the middle of the game... yes. Great design... . So after some time, washed off of any traces of fun, I have finished the game and before the final cut scene I knew what will be the conclusion... Seriously people, it was more than obvious from, again, the middle of the game... . JUST DO NOT WASTE YOUR LIFE ON THIS GAME. Better have a beer, meet friends, call your mother, anything but this game.

interesting, save for the cliche acting, cliche characters and cliche dialogue. the actual story(as in back story and what might be called mid story, as in of the crew that came before) is interesting why I was willing to give it hard drive space and a bit of my time. maybe as a companion booklet to the main story, however, the central story protagonist's screaming, wining and cussing every time you did something wrong or the corny one liners that were not in the least funny got irritating enough to quit in the middle of the game and delete it. She reminds me of a tenant I once had who wanted to be the center of attention, yet disregarded other apartment dwellers rights, I evicted that tenant post-haste, as I will this game from my PC! The protagonist in this game, Hadley, was very immature. even for her age, as were all the crew, the disembodied spirit she always spoke too was also a whiner and a sociopathic moron. I also was tired of the lame morality preaching by the Hadley about how other people need to treat their family(like she would know better, despite being so young) also the black and white ethics the whining of supposedly experienced crew that showed less courage than the uppity smart mouthed upstart protagonist, sounds like a b-rate freebie rental movie to me, though you'd think experienced crew would be talking down to her, not the other way around. the story is read via PDA, and a few men in distress tied to a rail road track who die instantly, PDA, probably something like System Shock the tried and true plot(though this is a Russian game they do it even worse than Hollywood) the middle-aged males in higher power being weak and powerful and the lowly female youth upstart with no experience out witting everyone is getting pretty tired in storybooks, movies, TV and games, written over the last few years, quite frankly, and now it is plaguing computer games. and the "Hollywood acting" everyone raves about is just that. cliche. probably why I originally stopped watching TV and going to movies and playing games like Baldur's Gate, and Gothic series. to escape that. but this "game", is merely another Hollywood drama with interacting in an isomorphic helicopter view where you can't see enough nor get immersed, I prefer closer up, or zoom in ability also, lots of running around back tracking and annoying paraphrasing by the cliche main character. Stasis, the main game, consisted of a weak, helpless, over emotional male protag but that is not as annoying as this. every time you don't open a door Hadley swears or makes some weaker "fudgesickles" remark as if it is a big deal. I have no problem with swearing if the situation calls for it, as in your arm is getting bitten off by giant rats, the male, John and Hadley both did it for the right reasons too, but Hadley every time she stub your toe, or didn't get your quarter back from the soda machine! most of the dialogue and the unlikable characters, all of them including Hadley, belongs in a B- horror film on amazon's "freebie" stream, not in a serious horror game! yes it is free, but it detracts, not adds to the main adventure. and yes, as others have said it takes some portion of your time and IMO, your computer's speed as it is also loaded on your hard disk!

Mind you being that this game is free its more than worth downloading. The art is well done and the voice acting is good, all though the MC's moans while climbing might be a little loud or over done. (She is pregnant though so maybe its truly hard for her) Maybe she could have said something like "its a bit much of a climb for me...but i'll try" Theres not much story but the story that is there is good and the puzzles are at least semi logical. It was lacking in ways to die for a horror game, and could have had more horror in the game for my tastes. The ending left me satisfied and if you read all the PDA's you'll understand what is going on in the end. ***SPOILERS!*** The reason you can hear Charlie talking to the MC (sorry forget her name) Is because its the baby she is hearing and someone elses conciousness has been transfered onto the baby. Thats part of the experiments they are doing at Cayne and MC hs likely died or will be taken care of by a security team. She has no chance of escape. ***END OF SPOILERS*** All in all a great free game that you should check out if you like horror and puzzle games. All and all this Free
