I had a lot o fun for the first week of play. It gets a bit boring after a while but it is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination.

I found ths game way too short. I payed it on the labor weekend and I got 2 hours out of this. The graphics are good but I cant see much value. It kinda feels like a demo.

TOP REASONS TO GET BONE TOTEM: * A delightful blend of different Sci-Fi tropes. The world of Bone Totem reminds me heavily of different games and movies from the science fiction genre, including “Alien”, “Blade Runner”, “Even Horizon”, “Dead Space” and “System Shock 2”. There is a derelict starship present, unseen monstrosities lurking in the darkness, a mad scientist responsible for the crisis, and an everyman hero questioning his sanity. However though the game uses recognizable themes it also builds it world compellingly. Stasis might reminds me of different things, but the world is unique and carries its own atmosphere well. * Successfully mixes point and click adventuring with horror elements. Not often does a game blend those two genres so well. In Stasis you have to manipulate objects and solve puzzles but at the same time there is a profound sense of danger present and the heroes can die horribly if the player is not careful. * Puzzles are challenging but logical. Stasis strikes a good balance between being challenging and going off the rails in terms of abstract puzzles. The player will be expected to solve riddles quite often but they will always be firmly rooted in the plot. Moreover the game does a great job of giving subtle hints on how to proceed next without being too obvious.. * Builds tension nicely by allowing the player to read personal logs. Much of the plot is discovered by going through PDA’s left behind. * High production value. Often the game feels like the player is watching a movie, and I do not mean this in a negative way it is just that the visual part of Stasis is so very well crafted it almost can be treated as a film. Every environment or object encountered in game has been modeled with great attention to detail, animations are smooth and the intro feels like you are watching “Alien” all over again. * Great voice acting and music. Even though the number of characters that actually can speak is fairly limited, the actors that do get to deliver their lines do so fantastically. Their performance really brings the world to life. Additionally Mark Morgan composing the soundtrack is a pro in itself, the music is great.
