Quick Look: Stasis

Without a Vinny, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.

BTW, this game is pretty good. Definitely one of the most disturbing games I've played. Also, it's made in South Africa...

I was hoping they'd look at this, it's really cool.

Somehow every quick look of a game about horror and misery is better with alex.

This game looks...... interesting.

I am loving 80's scifi theme this looks all right.

That robit is sounding like my man Ingmar.

Around 24 minutes it looks like they walk into a really gross Stride commercial.

Wait a minute... That first AI voice you hear... that's fucking Ingmar from Velvet Sundown!

Really? That's interesting, tell me more about it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"It's real sexy."

@nukleon: @voshinova:

"It's realll sexie."

@voshinova: THAT'S WHO IT IS. It's been killing me ever since we recorded this QL!

This looks cool.

There's nothing wrong with a good adverb every now and again.

What's the book that Austin mentions here? I am now curious, as I also have lots of audio book time. I can't quite make out what Austin is saying, though.

@planetfunksquad: Thank you very much!

I backed this game but won't get around to playing it for awhile, i shouldn't watch this quick look but... it's just too perfect, Vinny + isometric pre rendered graphics, i hope there arn't too many spoilers.

... or DIE!

So this takes place on Neptune? Is this Event Horizon 2? DO YOU SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The intro reminds me quite a bit of the opening to Alien.

Oh boy, Vinny wasn't kidding about the rough edges. That singing, man.

Ahhh that's where it sounds familiar from. The robot reminds me of Ingmar's voice from Velvet Sunset.

I'm totally going to spam "The new door code is..." emails at my next job.

Wow this is the most genuinely interesting game I have seen on quick look in a long time...excluding Armello ofcourse. So its a completed game you say for 25? Not bad price but I got my plate full and my wallets thin. I will look into it once there is a sale besides the extra time can help get it more polished. Guys you should dedicated Alex as the dedicated horror and space games. Also any chance we can get a camera of Alex while he plays. Would have loved to see his physical reaction to Soma lol.

This game looks like Sanitarium and that makes me very interested. God damn it, I loved Sanitarium.

This super reminds me of Sanitarium

@austin_walker: Senpai noticed me! Love ya Austin! ^_^

Awesome quicklook--totally sold on this. Despite the somewhat goofy technical limitations, the devs totally get that suggestion makes for some of the best terror/horror. Will definitely check this out.

Awesome to hear you guys are digging Perdido Street Station! I enjoyed it thoroughly, and thought the follow-up, the Scar, was even better. Weird adventure on the high seas!

Anyway! Good show.

Played this and was mildly disappointed. This is the sort of game that would really benefit from a twist. The whole game I kept wondering why any organization would be this stupid and evil. The only real reason you get is "because they're a corporation!"

Sanitarium was the first game I thought of when seeing this. Cool aesthetic.

I'm fine with death in adventure games as long as it checkpoints a few minutes before you do something stupid. This game does it right, the Sierra _____Quest games stand as a example of how *not* to do it and they still give me nightmares.

@blupotato: Sierra understood horror like no one else--the true masters of the genre.

I *love* how influenced by Sanitarium this clearly is. I'd totally buy that both games were from the same people if I didn't know any better.

I don't know where people are pulling the Sanitarium similarities from apart from the isometric angle. I played and beat Sanitarium and trust me this game, while pretty creepy, is not even close to the levels of insanity that was Sanitarium. That last boss.. man.. YAH, the final BOSS of a point and click adventure game, and it was a minigame. Jesus.

Game was cool as hell though. Stasis looks really interesting too, but I'm going to be one of those monsters that wait for a nice sale before diving in.

Austin with the Laura Bow name drop! Hey, Austin, can we get a Dagger of Amon Ra bombastica/retrolook/something up on the site?

Now this is my kind of clicking.

Perdido Street Station is good, but I like Mieville's other books even more. Recently finished The City and the City. Thought that one was great.

Subject John Marachek is a possible reference to ALIENS.

[Bishop reads a medical chart describing the captured facehugger]

Bishop: "Surgically removed before embryo implantation. Subject: Marachek, John J., died during the procedure." They killed him taking it off.

I'll never eat hot-dogs again.

Definitely going to pick this game up when it's on sale. I'm also really tempted to watch Patrick's "Spookin' With" run, it's only twenty minutes so it can't give that much away, and he's more...fidgety when it comes to games like these.

Man, I really love this setting and all the creepy shit in the vats, so awesome.

Is nobody as excited as I am to see Mark Morgan in the credits? Y'know, Fallout soundtrack guy?

I love how Austin says, "Yeah, rip" absolutely every time the opportunity presents itself.

I think the writing looks pretty interesting here. Want to check this out at some point.

Looks cool!

Also, Perdido Street Station is an absolutely amazing book.

Looks great

Just so you guys know, the game is quite a bit cheaper on GOG. For about a week after its premiere you could buy it for 12€ discounted from 16€.

Thats not how clones are made
