Grab 2015’s Point-And-Click Horror Game ‘Stasis’ for Free From GOG During Their End-Of-Summer Sale
Summer is sadly drawing to an end, but GOG are looking to extend it just a little longer with their aptly-named The GOG Sale. And, as part of that sale, GOG has made The Brotherhood’s 2015 sci-fi horror game Stasis available to grab for free for the next 72 hours.
You know how it goes: sign up for free at GOG, go to the giveaway, add Stasis to your library, and enjoy. In addition, The GOG Sale has titles heavily discounted (up to 90% off), with flash deals going on until September 5th. New titles are also expected to join the service during the sale, so keep an eye out for those if you’re into DRM-free games.
If you’ve never played Stasis (read our review from way back when), think of it as a mix between Event Horizon and the classic point-and-click psychological horror title, Sanitarium. This isometric point-and-click, sci-fi horror title takes place in the distant future aboard the spacecraft Groomlake. John Maracheck awakens from stasis in agony, with corpses littering the Groomlake. With his wife and daughter missing, and the Groomlake threatening to crash onto the surface of Neptune, he must unravel what happened, find his family, and escape.
Stasis is also available via Steam, and saw a sequel released in 2017 called CAYNE.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
