Meet ‘Cayne’, the Harrowing Next Chapter for ‘Stasis’

Published

on

The Brotherhood’s next game feels much more official. We’ve known about their isometric, point-and-click horror adventure game Cayne since it was announced back in January, but this is the first time we’ve gotten a good look at it. It looks like a prettier Stasis, with some small but noticeable graphical improvements, courtesy of the Unity 5 engine.

The adjunct expansion of the Stasis universe tells an original story about Hadley, a new mother, who wakes up in a medical facility where something has gone horribly wrong. Unlike its predecessor, Cayne can be completed in an evening, requiring roughly as much time as a feature-length film — about 1.5 hours of gameplay.

Cayne arrives later this year on PC and Mac, and it won’t cost a penny. Backers of the Stasis Kickstarter campaign will get to play the game before it’s made available to download from its official website, as well as on Steam.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
