The realisation of a dream by South African Christopher Bischoff launched earlier this week on Steam and GOG.
Chris used crowdfunding through Kickstarter to gain sufficient funding to quit his day job and finish the game. According to Kickstarter, ± 4,300 backers pledged in excess of US$140,000 to make this happen.
STASIS is described as a "classic point & click adventure game played from a unique isometric view point set in a science fiction universe in 2D".
What is STASIS about?
John Maracheck awakes from stasis on the Groomlake, a seemingly derelict spacecraft. This re-purposed mining ship, conveniently outside of the jurisdictional influence of Earth, is in a decaying orbit around gas giant, Neptune.
Cayne Corporation is a trillion dollar, multi-national company which has played a pivotal role in human technological, medical and scientific advancement for decades. The Groomlake is operated by this conglomerate and provides a secret platform for horrific experimentation and illicit research.
John is in tremendous pain, his wife and daughter are missing and time is running out as The Groomlake plunges further into the swirling blue methane clouds.

Inspired by the adventure game Sanitarium and the art of Crusader No Remorse; STASIS has a unique isometric visual aesthetic that brings this horrifying tale to life.
The world of STASIS harkens back to Sci-Fi classics like Alien, Event Horizon and Sunshine. It is set in a time of blurred morality, where corporate pursuit of profit outweigh the rights of the few. In this dystopian future, an ordinary man must make the best of an extraordinary situation and save his family.
To get a feel for STASIS, I have included a link to screenshots and other media: http://stasisgame.com/web/media.php

I have activated my game key and waiting for it to download now. If you have played the game, let me know what you think of it. Enjoy
