I'm impressed with the atmosphere so far, really depressing... in a good scifi horror way. Just started streaming if you're still on the fence about getting it.

I don't have the best rig on the block ATM, but I'm wondering if it can handle the game (even on low settings). Working with a Core 2 Duo E8400, 1.6 VRAM Express chipset, SSD, 4 gig RAM, Direct X 11.

What have you done in that section so far?

I finally started the full game and I can't believe that I'm stuck in the very beginning. It seems different than the beta? Like the triggers, objectives, etc? Major lapse of memory.

I only played the alpha demo recently before the full game, but the beginning of the full game and the alpha are almost the same. There are some tweaks but it's mostly the same

Yea I'm not sure, but the beta was a few weeks ago for backers at that level and it was more of the game (not sure how much of it) but I thought it was still familiar. I know what I have to do but stuff just doesn't seem to be happening?

What are you up to? I'm about 5 hours in myself, so I might be past where you're at

The very beginning, the first 30-45 minutes maybe? So you're playing the full version and you remember it being the same as the Alpha?
Maybe I'm just having a bad day haha.

Yeah, I was able to breeze past that first 45 minutes because it was almost the same as the alpha.

I loved Sanitarium.
Well until the big reveal. I kind pictured a different ending. Still good but not the direction I was hoping it would go. Still a great game though.

Usually games unlock on Steam during the big daily update. Why not STASIS?

I'm past it now.
Can someone tell me how to (first 30-45 minutes)
But yeah, this game is amazing, it really looks and feels like spiritual succesor to Sanitarium. AND THAT VOICE ACTING!
unfreeze the morgue? I guess I have to open one of the storages to get the axe, which will help destroy padlock near the train. I used wet towel on furnace and have no idea what to do next, it feels like I'm missing some other item.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Game looks kinda awesome. Waiting for some more impressions before I jump in, but I love the art.
A huge list and pretty good ones also. Man the reviews look great and seeing the reactions this is one terrifying game.

1)
Jam the furnace door hinge with the cloth
Open the furnace door. I believe you need an ID tag or something like that
Run like hell out of the room

Tip:
You should have a toe tag, right?
Answer:
You use the towel on the cog so the furnace door stays open, it'll swing shut again if you don't. Use the toe tag you should already have on the furnace door, that'll open it. Then run quickly out of the room, or don't if you want to see an awesome death scene, give it a few seconds then go back in.

It's alright, I spent ages running around the first area trying to figure out what to do. Turns out there was an exit near the bottom left of the screen that I totally missed!

Has Steam's daily update gone live? The new release section still shows Azure Striker Gunfolt over here, same as yesterday.
Yeah, obtuse puzzles seem to play a role. I don't mind being stuck or lacking hand-holding in other genres (in fact, I give major points for many games doing just that), but my experience with point-and-clicks tends to result in modest frustration that sours to boredom. I'm not entirely sure why. Blame a child reared on NES rather than computer adventures. It's a shame, I still want to try Grim Fandango as well. The added tension might make a difference though. I'm thinking about it.
You can dl it now

Bought.
Yes, two hours ago, it's the same time every day when the deals switch over and most new games get released. Meanwhile the popular new releases list gets updated more often.

The thing I Iike about puzzles is that a lot of times, the solutions are revealed by reading the logs and such. Quite a few times, I'll be stuck, then I see what the solution was and realize I should have read more carefully

Hey Lime - send an email to info@stasisgame.com and we will sort you out!
Don't, it does suffer a bit of mash-every-object-together like a lot of adventure games. There was nothing to indicate anything about a cloth or hinge going together, or even that the hinge existed as a game object.
How many deaths have people got so far?
Getting eaten by clones in the clone vat.
Burned alive by the furnace.
Choked to death by opening to door to the toxic gas tunnel/

The game is locked at 1280 x 720 because thats the size of the prerendered backgrounds.

Seen this on steam forums from the dev -
1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\STASIS
2. Right click on Stasis.exe
3. Properties - > Compatibility tab
4. Set Compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3
Alternatively, try pressing Alt+Enter when in game a couple of times.

Whoa..Like Sanitarium you say?! Interested!!!!!
The final part worked! Now the mouse is super laggy. Any ideas?
Just another Kickstarter success story for me. I find it so strange when people talk about how most Kickstarter games and other products never work out. I've Kickstarted about 20 projects and only had two mediocre experience. One was the Ouya which ended up finding use but not in the way I had hoped, and the other was Matchstick the Firefox based Chromecast copy. But in the case of Matchstick when they decided to can it they gave everybody a refund within a week. The Ouya ended up being a wash since I use it as a media player at a cabin that otherwise is stuck with a DVD deck.
I've had a higher rate of return on Kickstarters than I do buying regular retail titles in the last few years. I can only assume the focus on the evils of crowdfunding come from a few con artists and a ton of people who don't bother evaluating the likelihood that the team is actually able to produce the product they want funding for.

It's there for me.
