South African born Indie-adventure STASIS – headed by Johannesburg-based developer Christopher Bischoff and his two colleagues from The Brotherhood – is nearing the end of its 33 day Kickstarter campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing there are 4 days left on the clock<\/strong>, and $98,579 (\u00b1R1,014,619) has been pledged toward the $100,000 goal by 3,203 backers.<\/p>\n

So, if you were on the fence about pledging to this project, then maybe now is the time to give the local guys the boost they need.<\/p>\n

STASIS is a 2D isometric, point-and-click adventure game for Windows PC, set in the distant future on a desolate spacecraft. Protagonist John Maracheck must solve puzzles to save his family, while uncovering horrific experiments, 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.<\/p>\n

Legendary game composer Mark Morgan has joined the team to create the music. Morgan is renowned for his immersive soundtracks on games such as Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3: New Vegas, Planescape: Torment, and the upcoming Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera.<\/p>\n

“At my first glimpse of STASIS, I was completely blown away by its Deep Beauty. This is destined to be epic.” said Morgan.<\/p>\n

STASIS will launch in August 2014 and will be available on Steam or through the game’s website. A playable demo of the game is now available<\/a> and it is also in the Steam Greenlight project<\/a>.<\/p>\n
