Alien Virus vs Stasis

Alien Virus is a classic 1995 point-and-click adventure game developed by Trecision S.p.A. and published by Softgold Computerspiele GmbH. Players step into the shoes of pilot Joshua Stone, who arrives at Station Zeus after a month in hyperspace only to discover the entire space station completely devoid of life. Navigate through eerie, deserted corridors, solve intricate puzzles, and piece together the dark mystery behind the empty station. Blending science fiction and horror elements, the game delivers an atmospheric single-player experience steeped in suspense and classic graphical adventure mechanics.

In the distant future, astronaut John Maracheck awakens from stasis aboard the abandoned vessel Groomlake, drifting toward Neptune’s swirling methane clouds. He must confront physical pain, unravel the disappearance of his wife and daughter, and survive the ship’s nightmarish secrets. Stasis blends classic point‑and‑click mechanics with a gritty, retro aesthetic, challenging players to combine items, hack computers, and solve intricate puzzles while the oppressive atmosphere tightens around every decision.
