NOW ON MAC OSX!
Hey Mac Gamers!
Stasis: Bone Totem is finally here for Mac users.
Bone Totem dives into an eerie, sci-fi world where you follow Mac and Charlie, a couple of deep-sea scavengers who stumble on something way more sinister than they bargained for. Imagine a deserted underwater structure filled with secrets, corporate espionage and creepy things, plus plenty of puzzles to keep you on your toes. Throw in a toy bear and you have the recipe for a great game.
A perfect horror vibe for a late-night Mac Halloween gaming session.
Enjoy!
PS
A quick note, the first time you load Bone Totem, the game may take a minute or two to load and uncompressed all the graphics so make a cup of tea or pour a stiff drink and then check it out!

BONE TOTEM IS OUT!
Hey there, Gamers!
The wait is over! We're thrilled to announce that STASIS: BONE TOTEM is finally here, and it's time to get your game on!
Voxelsmash has said, "Stasis: Bone Totem review – Alien meets Disco Elysium underwater."
Pcindiemrace expressed, "I must admit that to date, there is nothing that comes close to its quality in the genre. The most and best works on so many levels that it is ridiculous to find fault with it. Bone Totem is simply pure nirvana for Point-and-Click fans and a required course for anyone wanting to dabble in the genre."

So, grab your mouse, buckle up, and prepare for adventure.
STEAM DECK SUPPORT
Horror aficionados and thrill-seekers!
We're thrilled to share some spine-tingling news straight from the depths of our development studio.
STASIS: BONE TOTEM is embracing the cutting-edge gaming experience of the remarkable Steam Deck.
As developers, we couldn't be more excited to offer you a whole new dimension of terror in the palm of your hand.
Our goal was to create an experience similar to the PC but embracing the Steam Deck's controller-like interface. The Steam Deck seamlessly integrates with STASIS: BONE TOTEM.
The Steam Deck should work out of the box, natively from Steam, just hit Play on the Deck.
Yours in terror,
The Bros
LAUNCH DATE
Hey everyone, I am beyond excited to share the news that STASIS: BONE TOTEM, the latest installment in the STASIS anthology, will be released on May 31st, 2023!
As you know, BONE TOTEM is the ambitious follow-up to the award-winning adventure game STASIS that you guys have brought to life.
What makes BONE TOTEM so unique is its underwater setting, where players will follow the story of Mac and Charlie - a couple who scour the ocean for valuable salvage. However, when they stumble upon an abandoned oil rig in the Pacific Ocean, they discover a secret that Cayne Corporation will do anything to keep hidden. (You know the drill!)
Mark Morgan joined us again to compose the score, and we had a Hollywood screenwriter (J. Barton Mitchell) pen the screenplay. We also involved a professional studio, Night Rocket Productions, to manage the in-person acting and audio recording. All of the actors are seasoned TV and Film professionals. Don't worry - Ryan and Glen Cooper also joined us again with a superb performance. You're gonna love it!
BONE TOTEM will be available on PC, including Steam/Steam Deck, GOG, and EPIC.
With support for English, German, French, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Turkish, and Italian languages on launch.
