Overview
Description

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.

You play as a maintenance engineer aboard the I.S.T. Rident, a passenger liner in the delta quadrant, when warships ambush the ship and you awaken alone on a deserted spacecraft. Explore the eerie corridors, solve intricate puzzles, and piece together the fate of the Rident and its passengers. The game blends classic point‑and‑click adventure with sci‑fi mystery, delivering a narrative‑driven experience that challenges your logic and curiosity. With atmospheric retro graphics and a haunting soundtrack, Symbiocom offers a compelling solo journey through a forgotten corner of space.
