unlabelledView post →Despite all my efforts to get better at rhythm games, I still had to resort to every assist option the game offered to get to the end of Vivid/Stasis. Still totally worth it though. It is preposterous that this game is free. A massive rhythm game that's also a visual novel, ARG, Yume Nikki and more
unlabelledView post →Once again shouting out Vivid/Stasis, which left early access the other day and went up in price to... Free. Half Uchikoshi-inspired genre-hopping visual novel. Half 4-button rhythm game (80+ tracks with 3-4 charts each!) with a dash of cypher-cracking brain-buster ARG. Somehow this is just free.
unlabelledView post →Speaking of cool FREE games on Steam, Vivid/Stasis has been eating up way too much of my time lately despite me being terrible at rhythm games. A massive (~200 songs, 3-4 charts each) expertly produced rhythm game that's also a visual novel, an ARG puzzle game, a Yume Nikki and some other bits.
unlabelledView post →The final(???) update just dropped for Vivid/Stasis, adding an epilogue chapter after the main story A reminder that this game is: 1. Free 2. One of the biggest rhythm games out there 3. A visual novel 4. A cipher-cracking ARG 5. A Yume Nikki-like exploration game 6. A fishing game 7. MORE, SOMEHOW
unlabelledView post →More people need to try Vivid/Stasis. Not only is it a great rhythm game, but also a genre-hopping visual novel, a cypher-cracking ARG adventure, a Yume Nikki like exploration thing and more. And FREE. If you just want a rhythm game, that's a menu option too. store.steampowered.com/app/2093940/...
unlabelledView post →We did this in Unavowed and it worked so well we used it again. Although we originally stole it from the game Stasis (with permission from the dev).
unlabelledView post →Hiya! I'm Riagan, a silly little transfem game dev who's currently a university student!! I currently only have one short, but fun game on my itch.io, called Stasis Shot, a simple puzzle platformer where you can set and delay your bullets to solve puzzles! riaganroyalty.itch.io/stasis-shot
unlabelledView post →Yeah, this looks unmistakably like a Stasis game, just in real-time and first-person. And honestly, the fact that they've got a real-time game looking like their pre-rendered art is impressive!
unlabelledView post →I'll continue this thread later but for now, another free gem that was finished this year: Vivid/Stasis is an ENORMOUS, professionally produced rhythm game with hundreds of tracks, maybe a thousand charts and is also a cypher-cracking ARG and trans lesbian visual novel and half a dozen other things
unlabelledView post →Shoulda figured that a new major Vivid/Stasis update meant more ARG shenanigans too. Hell of a game for free.

unlabelledView post →Vivid/Stasis is a MASSIVE rhythm game that's also a visual novel, a cipher-cracking ARG, oneiric exploration game, and even has creature-collecting and fishing minigames. Just absurdly ambitious, and doesn't cost a penny. Recently got an epilogue update. store.steampowered.com/app/2093940/...
unlabelledView post →That's right, I post diaper pics to lure you into a Stasis game 😈
unlabelledView post →I am quite torn on this one. Going to start from the fact that actually, through my entire life I hated point'n'click adventures/puzzles/quests with passion, as even if they are coherent and consistent (which is already quite rare occasion), I'm just not that good at patiently clicking through screen in search for insights, as well as adapting to usual insanity of the settings. So, I learned about this game absolutely randomly from one particular gaming youtuber (you know, THAT one) and looked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So.. I wasn’t even 30min in when I thought something was off. Unfortunately, I’m in a position where I come into contact with gen AI a lot in my day job, so I especially frowned upon the flavor text describing the environment. "Sounds like AI" crossed my mind, but I thought it was probably just my imagination and that the game likely came out before the whole hype anyway. Well.. the feeling didn’t go away, so I looked at reviews and googled. Yup, this is (or at least was) permeated with AI…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of those games, you know it's good before you even play it. Then after playing, still good. Then when sleeping, still good. One year later, still good. End of milky way, still good. End of universe still g.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While there are still classic point-and-click game trappings here, as the formula can only be simplified so much before it's streamlined to the point of autoplay, the story and themes and setting and visuals are so compelling that nearly all can be forgiven. The three-character structure is interesting and used to some effect, although in the end there's still quite a lot of "try everything on everything" when you're stuck, something made a tiny bit worse by the inventory juggling. There's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →------ TLDR; DO NOT buy this pathetic jank even for a cent --- 4.5/10 Short spoiler-free review after 3 playthroughs and 100% Story and Narration: Ignore the obviously paid out reviews by this incompetent studio who cannot for the love of *** write a coherent line of dialogue that does not sound like the work of a toddler. The dialogue is absolutely carried and compensated by the voice acting albeit over the top sometimes. The collectible logs are so lifeless and generic and are a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The amount of ai art is overwhelming.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs had to have been on moon juice or something with the amount of moon logic for the puzzles in this game. Unless you can read the minds of the devs don't even bother with this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stasis: Post Mortem I really liked the original Stasis. Great storytelling, decent but logical puzzles and very spooky. Cayne was less engaging, going for more shock value as it had weaker writing and bad puzzles. But it was still redeemable and I played through the whole thing. Stasis: Bone Totem is one of the most idiotic adventure, point-and-click games I've ever had the misfortune of playing. It's ludicrously moronic in both puzzles and plot. I wish I'd never purchased this. Where to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting but overstays its welcome. Second half of the game is drawn out.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much better than a number of other modern point & click games. Story is pretty interesting, though things drag towards the end. Voice acting is good, but I swear the VA for Charlie changed during a section in the middle. Puzzles are logical and the game respects your time with very minimal backtracking. Some sections where you have to trigger a specific conversation before some interactive spots become available. Visually nice mix of future tech and otherworldly creatures. I had a few visual…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really compelling, but as soon as you hit the russian sub all of the art becomes extremely ugly and obvious AI generated garbage. Lots of mutated skulls with no actual art direction behind them. Awful, rancid behaviour to hide it and not disclose it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Low effort. Way too much text, unremarkable characters. Can't interact with the world during dialog. No controller support. Waaay to dark can't see ****. The puzzles make no sense. Don't waste your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A stunning nightmare, with a hollow heart. The art is incredible, to say the least. Morbid, grotesque, unsettling- captivating in the way only cosmic horror can be. I couldn't help but to press on until the very end. The game sets up a compelling dynamic: Charlie is the brains, Mac is the brawn. However, as the story unfolds, Mac seems to become an emotional anchor- Logical and steadfast. Meanwhile, Charlie descends into grief-driven recklessness. The game asks for investment, but doesn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Game That Gets Better If You Don't Drop It I almost dropped this game after one hour. Point-and-click gameplay was already annoying me, the underwater industrial setting felt suffocating and monotonous, I didn't care about the characters, and the story gave me very little reason to care about what was happening. Point-and-click is a very specific genre, and I think for it to completely work for me, the puzzle logic needs to be extremely readable. The whole idea is that you combine…

unlabelledView post →Vivid/Stasis is definitely a game that’s written
unlabelledView post →I don't think this is a good game. The gameplay just doesn't flow. The puzzles are basically mind reading what the devs intended. It's just endless variations of finding items, giving them to a different character, and using them on everything you possibly can. One of them might do something, not necessarily one that's logical. There's way too much descriptive text throughout the environments, none of it meaningful. It feels like it was written by AI, or just badly written. It's a whole bunch…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretentious, mediocre writing. Dull, annoying voice acting. Tedious, dated puzzles. If you think Brandon Sanderson novels are good, then you're the exact kind of normie slop-eater this game is aimed at.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crazy good from someone who doesn't even like point and click adventure games. It's got a great and engaging story, the voice acting is fantastic, they build tension really well, and the visuals are really impressive. The uncanny valley bear even has a better character arc than what 99% of big budget games can come up with.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is awesome game. It reminds me Sanitarium, especially at the place where man was cracking his skull to the wall. Graphics is awesome. Story is great. Sound and audio very good. This is example how point-and-click games supposed to be. I recommend this very much. Enjoy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a rythmn game that uses your mouse and keyboard at the same time, right now there's only a gameplay demo with 5 songs But the full version will have a story, RPG-like character building, and a lot more, it's also the sequel to Vivid/Stasis
unlabelledView post →An excellent horror romp in a unique universe, disturbing as disquieting, a lovely point and click puzzle game with a simultaneously depressing yet hopeful tale. The characters are well written, so that if you come to love or hate them, you fully understand and relate in some ways to what is revealed of them. The puzzle side of things is the important aspect of point and click genre, and I can say for the most part that you don't need to worry too much about Moon Logic tm behind the puzzles.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Literally one of the best Sci-Fi/Lovecraft point n' click games ever made Writing. Gas. Acting. Gas. Setting. Gas. Everything else. GAS. Literal must-buy for anyone interested in a point n' click game with a unique story, sprinkled with clever puzzles throughout.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is an OK game seems to have had quite a bit of luv put to it when developing it. Darn did you devs manage to make Charlie such an annoying person throughout the whole game... Annoying at the start, and it gets worse :D ... darn is this an annoying game to play. So I will change this to "Not recommended" instead. Recommended only when on sale. I assure you the devs obviously did some beautiful stuff here... but darn this game, its story, and only one moderately sane character.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Waaaaaaay overstays its welcome. Characters need to seriously shut up - or at least introduce a more effective "skip dialogue" option. Nonsensical android bear doesn't like water. Just thought you needed a 48th reminder. The puzzles are INCREDIBLY poorly devised to the point I was missing old low-tech classic point-and-click puzzlers (Maniac Mansion, Shadowgate, etc.). Oopa, almost forgot to take my back medicine. I'm well into chapter 4 and I'm just trying to force my way to the ending because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just way too obtuse. The dev's must give players a sense of direction. We just flounder about trying to figure how to complete all the many puzzles. A walkthrough is absolutely essential for most people. A walkthrough for every single action, including where to go and what to do. The Dev's must give an objective like all characters must get in the diving bell to complete chapter 1. Wow, what a waste of time full of frustration! I played Stasis before and it had the exact same…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an absolute triumph and a love letter to classic point & click adventures.The story is gripping and emotionally grounded, brought to life by phenomenal voice acting and characters you genuinely care about. Paired with stunning isometric art, intricate sound design, and a masterfully tense score, the atmosphere never lets up. The only negative I have about this game is that sometimes the puzzles can be a little obtuse in how to use certain items or what to do with them, but there is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall: Really good point and click game. There's a lot more content than most story games. Looks and sounds pretty good. There's too many really good qualities to the game to really sit and complain about any of the rougher parts. The themes and content can get pretty strange but overall it's good and is a very suspenseful and adult story game. There's not really one direction the game goes with the themes or content, but a lot of different directions, which is fine. You can generally…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know, I really wanted to like this game, I inspected every possible nook and cranny in this game ten times over because it just always felt like there should have been something more. I think the first half is pretty good but it really feels like the quality begins to be replaced with quantity in a way that doesn't benefit the game or the story it has to tell. Painfully slow an unimportant dialogue, characters that are unfortunately incredibly annoying that make decisions that make…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great point and click game, lots and LOTS of reading(lore) went into this blind and man i absolutely love the setting, great cast and voice actors. I did feel like some of the solutions can be a little tough just because of it being sci-fi and seeing what material goes to what to unlock/ proceed. Nothing horrible but it is a little slow and frustrating at times because of that. Other than that, the story was phenomenal, top tier underwater horror sci-fi. Very unique to someone like me that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish the game was as visceral as the first Stasis, and some of the puzzles could easily be brute-forced, but wow what a well made horror adventure game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not typically a gamer that enjoys point and click games. I've had this on my wishlist for years after watching CohhCarnage play it and finally decided to give it a shot. It is a great game, not perfect, but the story, environments, and atmosphere really kept me engaged. If you like body-horror, warhammer 40k, and just in general really weird and gory environments, you'd love this game. Reminds me of a lot of Scorn. This is not a game you want to play while eating. There are a lot of parts…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a really sad man now. No spoilers. A true gem in storytelling. So glad I stumbled onto it. The story was a real tearjerker. I found the motivations very believable. The gameplay although primitive was also kind of nice because it didn't distract too much from the storytelling. Must admit got hung up and looked at a guide 2 times. I might not be terribly good at this sort of game but very good at feeling extremely heartbroken after.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cadaverous dark spindly writing crawls over the page like pangs of needles, shivers, across my spine caused by the damp odorous mold of ages past, sloughing off like mucous from rusted metal surfaces. I am Numen. I am Reddit. 100% accuracy prediction.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nope. Far too convoluted and pretentious without enough continuity to earn that pretension.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Constructed with precision and Lovecraftian zeal, "Bone totem" is a potent syntheses of body and cosmic horror. Compounded within a futuristic dystopia of exploitative economics desiccated by the decay of late stage capitalism. Humanity is at its hedonistic zenith obsessed with consumerism, augmentation and the desire of immortality. Prospering in this maligned reality a narrative of frayed and emerging relationships. With simple but meaningful connections characters are portrayed with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid 4 out of 5, well worth your time and money if you are a fan of point and click adventure games that don't rely on bad puns or attempts at humor to keep you engaged. Is it perfect? No, but it's damn good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, great story, for a point & click game it didn't have any boring moments, it's all really well done. Highly recommend for anyone who has never played point & click games before.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full disclosure, i haven't played STASIS, i bought this from a combination of fascination from MandaloreGaming's review and the heavy discount. And i'm sure glad i did. What a fantastic experience. I loved the voice cast, the characters, the performances, not a single weak link in here on that front. From the moment i started it the first time, i played as much as possible. The puzzles were nice and (usually) pretty straight forward, the ping feature means you'll never truly get stuck…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a joy. I've never been so excited to finally find a key item to a very obvious puzzle in an adventure game than I was in the middle of chapter 3 trying to bait the brain baby. We are a smart bear.
