STASIS

STASIS is a dark science fiction adventure with classic point-and-click controls. John Maracheck wakes from cryosleep on the seemingly abandoned Groomlake. His wife and daughter have disappeared. As the spaceship heads toward the planet Neptune, he tries to uncover the fate of his family and the crew.

The game shows its locations from a fixed isometric perspective. Instead of shootouts, the focus is on exploration, puzzles and a story with strong horror elements.

Released on Aug 31, 2015 for PC. Ten years later the console versions followed: Released on Jun 26, 2025 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch. Feardemic is responsible for the console release.

STASIS is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch. The PC version first came out for Windows and macOS. On PlayStation, separate versions for PS4 and PS5 are available. The Xbox version supports Smart Delivery and is optimized for Xbox Series X|S.

A Switch 2 version is not listed as a separate release. The separately available console versions cannot be swapped with a PC activation key.

You control John with a point-and-click interface through rooms, machine areas and dark corridors. Items are picked up, combined in the inventory and used in the right places. Many puzzles arise from how the technical systems work and from clues hidden in the environment.

The fixed isometric perspective makes the rooms detailed, manageable scenes. Interacting with terminals and the crew's personal devices is also part of exploration.

For the PC version there is a Deluxe Edition Upgrade with digital bonus material and a separately offered Soundtrack. These products do not add new levels to the base game's story. STASIS: BONE TOTEM is a standalone horror adventure from the same game world, not an expansion for STASIS.

For the original Windows version, a dual-core processor with 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a graphics card with 256 MB video memory and 5 GB of free storage are listed as minimum. A dual-core processor with 2.6 GHz and 4 GB RAM are recommended.

The original Windows XP and macOS 10.7 specs are historical minimum requirements. For today's installation via Steam, support for the current Steam client is also important.

John Maracheck searches the largely abandoned ship for his family. Scattered records reveal the crew's history and gradually explain why the Groomlake has become a dangerous place.

Rather than telling the story through long dialogue, STASIS lets many details emerge through rooms, computers and traces of earlier events. The game contains graphic violence and body horror.

For many tasks you need to use found items in a specific context, operate machines and combine information from several rooms. Individual items can be combined with each other. Clues are often hidden in logbooks and computers.

The puzzles follow the logic of a classic graphic adventure and require observation rather than quick reactions.

The dark rooms of the Groomlake are designed as detailed isometric scenes. Light sources, technical equipment and damaged areas convey the state of the ship. The music is composed by Mark Morgan and Daniel Sadowski, among others. English voice acting accompanies the story.

STASIS is a single-player adventure only. There is neither a co-op mode nor competitive multiplayer matches. The focus is on exploring the ship and solving the story's puzzles.

Voice acting is available in English. German on-screen text and subtitles are included in the PC and console versions. Further translations are also available, including French, Italian, Polish and Spanish.

THE BROTHERHOOD developed STASIS and released the original PC version. The studio focuses on classic adventure puzzles and oppressive science fiction horror. The console versions released in 2025 came out under the Feardemic label.
