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. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“This game is damn cool. It takes place on a frozen ship in the Nouth Pole, and you have to stay alive by finding heat sources. Certain dead people you can save, by possessing them right before they...”

“The gameplay isn't that bad at all, I just found the first gun, a rifle. Ammo seems pretty scarce though. ”

Oh... bugg....

“Not exactly sure what that thing is, but I like the picture anyway. (Me finks I will be encountering it when I play the game)”

“I'll be giving it a try soon. Already had to abandon World War 1; The Royal Marine Commandos and Age Of Pirates. Wouldn't work.

Loving Prey, but its so mind warping!!”

“Yep It's going to be on the chopping block after i beat Dark Sector! Read through the review...I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of those Stalker level cult classic games. Reminds me of a game on Gamecube that I have called Geist.”

“Oh man, played the demo for this and my PC wept. This game is made for 8+ series Nvidia cards and DX10. My 8800GT was being raped trying to play it. Reminded me of playing Bioshock at 1680x1050 on...”

Yea, I mean it's not an AAA game or anything, but more than a few times I've caught myself saying, "damn that looks nice."

“Europe release date: February 27, 2009.
This game has nothing to do with Bioshock, it's a survival horror.
Good game, but extremely linear”

“Hey there... I see you and only one other member on the site have played this. I'm curious about it. Looks a lot like Bioshock - which I'm a fan of. Also, I see it's only $29 on Direct2Drive... not a bad price - but I was curious what people thought about the game before I picked it up.”
