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 an investigator probing the death of a scientist on an isolated research station. As you piece together clues about the enigmatic SATIN project, the line between reality and madness begins to blur.\nThe game blends classic point‑and‑click adventure mechanics with atmospheric puzzles, delivering a deep story driven by memorable characters and a haunting setting. Its focus on narrative and psychological tension makes each discovery feel weighty and unsettling.
