About this product

Product Information

Set in the claustrophobic confines of an atomic icebreaking vessel shipwrecked near the North Pole, Cryostasis puts players in the shoes of Alexander Nesterov, a Russian meteorologist sent to investigate strange occurrences on the submarine. Once aboard, Nesterov discovers that the captain and the crewmen have seemingly died of exposure, only to be transformed into bizarre creatures by the extreme cold. Nesterov has a unique "Mental Echo" ability that lets him travel back and alter events from the ship's past, but he can only use it on former crewmembers whose memories have frozen along with the rest of their body. Cryostasis makes use of a unique temperature dynamic, whereby players must keep Nesterov warm enough by finding sources of heat such as lamps, ovens, and heaters. The strange creatures on the submarine, however, can only thrive in the subzero temperatures, so they attack the only warm-blooded creature remaining on the ship. Gamers are left with the task of fending off truly cold-blooded enemies, all while attempting to reheat each section of the ship.

  • Interesting Story and gameplay

    I like this game as it's got a interesting story and the graphics and physics are decent. One con though, optimization. It's using Nvidia physX to push out some great effects but at a high cost of performance. With patch 1.1 you need a decent rig to handle the heavy physX load. Otherwise, it's a good game.

  • Underrated Gem ( Being that of an icicle )

    You are stranded on an iced over, glacier-bound war ship. You learn how you got there and what is the deal with everything being frozen pretty quick. The combat feels very close to Condemned: Criminal Origins, and the enemies are a mix of Condemned and Bioshock in terms of creepy. You can see where they were going with this and sure in some places it feels a bit short; but there is so much love in this game. The atmosphere resonates in this game. Play in the dark and enjoy the pure fear with the constant need for warmth, and the constant shattering of ice as you make your way through the bowels of the ship. It's a hidden gem of a game. If you put the effort in to get it working (it works out the box which is cool) on custom settings like resolution and whatnot; you'll be able to enjoy this game fine!
