| Stasis (Video Game) | comment |
Stasis is an isometric Sci-Fi Horror Adventure Game from 2015, made by THE BROTHERHOOD, a South-African indie development team of two brothers. The game was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign.The Groomlake, a rundown and seemingly abandoned spacecraft, circles the lower orbit of Neptune. Constantly losing altitude, as the planet's gravity has a firm hold on the derelict ship, the vessel is constantly getting ever closer to meet an unceremonious destruction in the swirling blue methane clouds of the gas giant. However, in the bowels of the ship, a man by the name of John Maracheck stirs uneasily in his induced sleep.Assuming the role of John, the player must help him survive as he awakens alone in the wake of a mysterious disaster that seems to have claimed the lives of most of the ship's crew and left it in a state of advanced disrepair. Determined to find his wife and daughter who is supposed to be somewhere on the ship, John sets out in a race against the clock to unravel the mysteries around him; an undertaking which will test his physical and emotional resolve.Another game set in the same universe and set parallel to Stasis, Cayne, was released in 2017. Another sequel, Stasis: Bone Totem, was released on May 31st, 2023. | |

Isometric Projection: The game uses pre-rendered 3D models and animations for the visual in a similar way to late 90s adventure and RPG games. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: Cayne Corporation attempted to grow clones in the Groomlake as a less questionable way of getting organs. Unfortunately, the clones ended up looking like mutated Humanoid Abominations that act based on instinct which has lead to people getting killed and eaten. | |

Auto-Doc | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_2ae1cf84 | comment |
Auto Doc: Being a primarily medical research vessel, the Groomlake has a few examples: The medical station just down the corridor from the stasis bay where John wakes up contains an automated diagnostic unit and medicine dispensary. A patient stands in the scanner, the systems will determine what injuries they might be suffering from, then formulate a prescription of individually tailored medicines and purpose-programmed nanomachines to treat the specific needs of the patient, which are then loaded into a convenient hypodermic. The much more substantial medical bay of the ship contains a surgical machine for conducting more invasive treatments. It is capable of locking the patient in place, administering drugs and anesthetics, and using a combination of lasers, hooks, clamps, and sutures to preform any surgery it is programmed to carry out. A display screen allows the patient to observe the process themselves, and a supervising surgeon can input corrections to the program, if necessary. It even speaks with an androgynous child's voice, displays smiley faces, and calls itself Robin. | |

Starship Luxurious | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_46bcebfd | comment |
Starship Luxurious: Zig Zagged by the Groomlake. On the one hand, the ship's original mission required much more room than its current purpose does, so it has plenty of room to spare on things like a dance club for crew recreation, and a deluxe visitor center that resembles a cathedral nave. On the other hand, those extravagances aside, Cayne cuts so many corners that things like fire axes are not placed in emergency containers. Maybe the ship renovation started going over budget partway through? | |

Gory Discretion Shot | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_49f20c6a | comment |
Gory Discretion Shot: The most horrific detail of Rebecca's death are hidden from the player by large cracks in the two-way mirror though which John witnesses the event (and also a dimming of the light as it happens). The aftermath is visible once John breaks through, though, and it is decidedly not pretty. Averted and played straight in Cayne. We're treated to a cutscene where Hadley bisects the monstrous Samantha near the game's end with an energy shield, but her birth in the ending is thankfully obscured by the game remaining in the less-detailed isometric view. Jupiter the frightened cat is yanked through the floor grate by... something, and cries out in terror before being silenced by sickening crunch sounds. | |

Cutting Corners | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_4b989393 | comment |
Cutting Corners: The Groomlake didn't have a budget for fire axes, as a friendly note in the emergency box explains. Even the methane tanks from the ship's organic waste processing systems are directly beneath the crew quarters simply because it would have been more expensive to locate them somewhere safer in the event a spark triggers a spontaneous combustion. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: John's daughter is killed, everyone on the ship turns out dead, and Te'ah is shot following a Face–Heel Turn. John sends the ship containing his wife's stasis tube to Earth only for her to turn out Dead All Along, with John remaining on the Groomlake knowing that he will eventually die. Cayne isn't any better. Hadley makes it to the evac elevator, but there are...complications with her birth, which leave her screaming in terror. And then the camera pulls out, and we see the research vault she's been trying to get out of- with the Groomlake crashed nearby. | |

| Stasis (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The Groomlake. "Groom Lake" is one of the alternate names of Area 51, and the ship is designed to be a long-haul deep-space vessel far from human civilization and prying eyes, so its inhabitants can conduct all sorts of unethical research that nobody can question. The vessel was formerly named "The Tower" (you see old markings and an older AI in charge of the older parts of the ship) and "The Tower" in Tarot represents a downfall. | |

Future Spandex: John wakes up wearing a plug suit, a kind of chemical-resistant, skin-tight, one-piece coverall with biometric monitors and a simple onboard A.I. that repeatedly announces changes in his physical or mental state (which would not necessarily be obvious to the player.) Apparently all the "products" in storage are fitted with them, as a kind of high-tech hospital gown. | |

The Many Deaths of You: It may be an adventure game, but make no mistake. There are several death scenes in the game if you are not careful. You even get achievements for finding the death scenes. | |

| Stasis (Video Game) / int_aa8dcc21 | comment |
Mega-Corp: Cayne Corporation is a trillion dollar, multinational company which has played a pivotal role in human technological, medical and scientific advancement for decades. The Groomlake is operated by this conglomerate and provides a secret platform for horrific experimentation and illicit research. | |

Robo Speak | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_ab940e63 | comment |
Robo Speak: Most living people are dead as hell, but there's tons of different robot voices for all the devices you find in the game. John's suit, several different automatic medical devices, announcement systems and other things, all with their own icons. The oldest parts of the ship have an older AI still referring to the ship by its old name, "The Tower." | |

Meatgrinder Surgery | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_b281bf24 | comment |
Meatgrinder Surgery: Played for Drama. John must subject himself to this to remove something from his spine. The Auto Doc has been pre-configured for the surgery, but due to some malfunction and a lack of a qualified technician to run it, John must be awake through the procedure so he can guide the Auto Doc himself via a control screen, with only local anesthetic to keep the pain manageable. Failure to properly guide the Auto Doc may result in the violent removal of the spine. | |

Mad Scientist Laboratory | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_c3cc5fa0 | comment |
Mad Scientist Laboratory: The Groomlake was designed and utilized as a giant Josef Mengele-style mad science funhouse, with every sort of unethical and horrifying type of research imaginable being pursued with zero oversight or constraint. Much of the revolting or nightmare-inducing things you'll encounter in the game aren't things Gone Horribly Wrong, but things operating exactly as designed. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The tram terminal plays a sound effect from the original The Legend of Zelda when recharging the tram. A later terminal plays a sound from the original Super Mario Bros.. As in System Shock and Dead Space, the Hydroponics area is a breeding ground for the alien menace and their junk is clogging up the elevator. One of the crewmembers John can find the Apocalyptic Log belonging to is named Burke Carter. One log mentions someone running around shouting "I'm covered in bees!" as a prank. At one point, John makes use of a dead man's severed hand as a Borrowed Bio Metric Bypass. | |

A God Am I: Doctor Malan believes to be one because he's created a "new race" of hybrids. The hybrids may revere him right back, because they have a huge effigy of him inside their hive. | |

Pregnant Badass: Cayne's protagonist Hadley becomes this over the course of the game. Given that she's in a research vault run by the game's namesake Mega-Corp, it's not necessarily a good thing. | |

They Would Cut You Up | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_dcd29760 | comment |
They Would Cut You Up: The Groomlake has been used to mass-abduct innocent people in stasis and cut their organs. Even worse is the fact that most of the staff is unaware of what is happening, as they are told that the people they are cutting up are criminals. | |

Mile-Long Ship | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_e26c3c72 | comment |
Mile-Long Ship: The Groomlake, originally christened as "The Tower", is over six kilometers long. Its original purpose was as a deep space mining vessel, hence all the size for equipment, processing, and hauling ore. Fifteen years of atmospheric exposure degraded its hull integrity and made it no longer suitable for its original mission. After decommissioning, Cayne Corporation converted it into a research ship. | |

Borrowed Biometric Bypass | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_e8123047 | comment |
Borrowed Biometric Bypass: Two examples are used as puzzles within the game: Early into the story, John uses a shard of glass to cut the hand off Yuri's corpse in order to use his level 5 clearance to access the morgue. Late into the game, John must take an eye from a corpse in a freezer to start up a loading truck. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Stasis (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: John is mostly Late to the Tragedy as most of the ship's inhabitants have already died, including the monsters, so he doesn't have to worry too much about hordes of creatures tearing him apart. That said, there are no less than four or five separate disasters going on simultaneously due to all sorts of experiments running amok at once, some areas of the ship are booby-trapped because survivors took drastic steps to stop the creatures, plus the ship is badly damaged and there's one very hostile mad scientist deliberately sabotaging you. For an adventure game there are many ways to accidentally kill yourself by running afoul of any of these problems. | |
