STASIS has made its way over to Kickstarter for funding and is the first game to appear on the platform made by a local developer.<\/p>\n
STASIS is an indie project headed by Johannesburg-based developer Christopher Bischoff and his two colleagues from The Brotherhood, a studio that the trio set up in Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n
The game is a 2D isometric, point-and-click adventure game for PC Windows, set in the distant future on a desolate spacecraft. Protagonist John Maracheck must solve puzzles to save his family, while uncovering horrific experimentation, illicit research, and an ever deepening mystery.<\/p>\n
“Recently there has been an exciting resurgence of the point-and-click adventure genre. Standing on the shoulders of greatness, Stasis follows the game-play mechanics of classics like Space Quest, Kings Quest, the Monkey Island series, The Dig and Day of the Tentacle,” the team writes on the Kickstarter page. “The critically acclaimed, Sanitarium – a psychological horror adventure game – used a similar graphical setup to Stasis. Stasis follows this unique visual aspect to bring this terrifying tale to life.”<\/p>\n
