CAYNE

This game was really messed up. Like severely messed up. I'm not usually one for the horror genre, but I like the point and click games. I had to follow a guide for this, because I didn't really understand where I was supposed to go a lot of the time, and there were secret achievments that I never would have found. The lore was great though, and definitely maintained the creepy atmosphere all the way through.
The fact that this was free was a shocker to me. The cutscenes may have looked a bit dated and janky, but the main game looks really gorgeous. The game took about 4 hours to complete.

This was so... unsettling, twisted and disgusting. I liked it.

After starting with Bone Totem and ending with Cayne, I have finally completed the Stasis trilogy. Having played Cayne, it is probably the weakest out of the three in terms of length, content, and overall depth of gameplay, as it primarily consists of most of the same we've mainly seen in Stasis. Cayen's runtime is also drastically less than the other two Stasis games at about two to four hours. This is, give or take, your time spent understanding and solving puzzles. The main character this time around, Hadley, lands herself in a direct and harrowing situation as the research station she finds herself in is in complete disarray, similar to the Groomlake station from Stasis. She's accompanied by an unknown voice seemingly inside her head that also finds itself lost and confused about who or what it might be. It is another graphic, unsettling survival story. But also one of rebirth and transcendence in the most unlikely fashions.
As with the original Stasis, the game consists primarily of collecting, combining, using objects in a particular fashion, and solving puzzles. This time around, however, they are less head-scratching or complex than some of Stasis's or Bone Totem's puzzles. It makes this entry more manageable in the frustration-induced head-scratching department. Cayne's most significant change from Stasis is its graphics engine. Character models and environments are much cleaner and sharper than initially, which most likely stems from using an older engine while making Stasis. Apart from that, it's essentially the same gory, creepy goodness that this series is known for. Its story, like the other entries, is also told very well. By the end of the game, it raises more questions than answers, although one reveal at the end was pretty mind-blowing when it dawns on you what just happened.
Honestly, that's been this series in a nutshell. One shockingly unexpected, mind-blowing surprise or grotesque visual or story beat after another. These games are well-written narratives filled with depth and detail with enjoyable, emotionally complex characters in a world rich with fascinating (and unsettling) lore that genuinely feels interesting and is the more intriguing aspect of this series. I never anticipated enjoying these three games as much as I have, and I'm happy I've experienced this world The Brotherhood has so lovingly created. I hope we will see more from the Stasis universe. There are still so many terrifying secrets to be discovered.

A decent adventure with a few quirky puzzles and slow movement. I have paid for worse point & click games so no real complaints here.

What began as a routine safe, legal and rare women's healthcare and personal empowerment ritual... goes even more wrong!
Macabre point-and-click horror continues on from STASIS with CAYNE. It's amazing that this was released for free, because it's a decent quality game. I think it improves over STASIS in some areas.
In other areas, it's a downgrade. The protagonist didn't make any sense to me. This is a horrific situation that would test any man or woman's mettle, but instead she's cracking wise and sounds like a modern cringe millennial woman who lives in a safe urban center. This constant sarcasm and irreverence drains any tension and kills the atmosphere. What were they thinking with this!? More "millennial writing," I say!
I loved the ending. It's one of those endings that makes you go, "oh, shizzmafrizz." Hopefully Bone Totem has something to say about all of this, but it seems to be a totally different place in the STASIS universe. I've got the game already and am interested to find out.

Pros: its the right price, its a grim dark sci-fi, its grotesque in story and atmosphere, and i found no bugs.
Cons: holy F does this game not hold your hand; took me several minutes to even realise i was supposed to do something once the game started. lots of back-tracking to get items/info. not much content outside of what is required for progression.

Very interesting, a bit short but its free. also the puzzles are awful
