Halloween is upon us, and I have a treat for you–and by “I,” I mean GOG, but I’m telling you about it so hey, let’s give some credit where it’s due. Anyway, the treat in question is Stasis<\/a>, the excellent 2015 point-and-click horror adventure from The Brotherhood, which is free for the taking on GOG<\/a> until November 3.<\/p>\n

Stasis is a perfect choice for Halloween gaming. You awaken from cryogenic stasis aboard a not-quite-abandoned spaceship in the middle of what was supposed to be a routine trip to Titan: The crew is dead, your wife and daughter are missing, and unpleasantness abounds.<\/p>\n

Narrative twists and turns follow, leading through a story that’s not especially novel but still manages to deliver surprises. A lot of that arises from your freedom to make a mess of things: Your in-game avatar isn’t the most hard-charging videogame hero imaginable, and there are many ways to die, most of them awful. The game itself is also surprisingly gross for an isometric point-and-clicker. (Which I mean as a compliment.)<\/p>\n

So it’s a good time! And it is in fact a very good game, creepy and horrific but not really frightening<\/em>, so it’s manageable even if you tend not to care for scary games. Can’t beat the price right now either.<\/p>\n
