Cita:STASIS es una aventura gráfica de horror espacial con entornos 2D isométricos desarrollada por Christopher Bischoff. Algunos de sus referentes: Alien: El Octavo Pasajero, Horizonte Final, Sanitarium o Crusader: No Remorse. Bischoff fue capaz de contratar los servicios de actores profesionales de doblaje y a un compositor de renombre como Mark Morgan (Fallout 1 y 2, Planescape: Torment, Wasteland 2...) tras lograr recaudar los fondos suficientes en Kickstarter.

El juego nos pone en la piel del ingeniero John Maracheck tras despertar de su hibernación en la Groomlake, una nave minera aparentemente abandonada en la órbita del gigante gaseoso Neptuno. Dicha nave, ahora convertida en una plataforma secreta para la experimentación y la investigación ilícita, es propiedad de Cayne Corporation, la empresa multinacional que ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en el avance tecnológico, médico y científico humano durante décadas. John irá descubriendo los propósitos de Cayne mientras busca a su mujer y a su hija desaparecidas, aunque el tiempo se acaba, ya que la Groomlake se hunde cada vez más en los remolinos de nube de metano azul.

Cita:More than five years in the making, Stasis is an extraordinary testament to the ambition and genre genius of creator Chris Bischoff and his colleagues. It's more than just "good for an indie game", it's a mandatory experience for fans of sci-fi horror.

Cita:"STASIS is undoubtedly the gem of independent games and one of the best productions I had the opportunity to play this year."

Cita:As an unsettling experience with some interesting puzzles, Stasis will please. Its huge halls and complex machinery look great, giving a sense of imminent death coming from lousy work on behalf of the safety committee. The writing is filled with little hidden gems of great characterization, and does some interesting things with the plot even though it does feel like it's ground that's been tread a little too often before. Stasis is a solid point-and-click game with some fun additions to keep players on their toes. Even if it doesn't frighten its players, it will make them uncomfortable as they wander the bloody halls, wondering if their next mistake will be their last.

Cita:The kind of mind-fuckery present in STASIS is something special, something to be savoured. IÔÇÖve been trying to play it properly as well: Only at night, with headphones and the volume cranked up to the max. And trust me, thereÔÇÖs no other game on the market today that can deliver the kind of scare that STASIS can.

Cita:STASIS is the best adventure game IÔÇÖve played in years. ItÔÇÖs also one of the most impressive horror games IÔÇÖve played lately. The tiny team behind it have done remarkable things, far in excess of what many, much larger studios seem capable of. Those studios should be afraid ÔÇô be very afraid.

Cita:STASIS is one of the most memorable experiences I've had from gaming in quite a while. Some puzzles can be frustratingly obtuse, but the majority are a pleasure to solve.
