A while back, we had mentioned that indie studio The Brotherhood was working on a follow up to their isometric overhead horror game Stasis with Bone Totem. Fans will be pleased to learn that Stasis: Bone Totem is out now on Steam, and until June 7, sports a 20% discount.
Touted as “Alien meets Disco Elysium underwater”, Bone Totem follows Mac and Charlie, a husband-and-wife team of nautical salvagers who stumble upon DEEPSEA 15, a seemingly abandoned Cayne Corporation rig in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You quickly find out just why the rig has been abandoned, and why the Cayne Corporation will do anything to keep what’s held in the rig hidden.
Gameplay for Bone Totem features the same isometric, point-and-click gameplay that made Stasis a classic fan favorite. It also features a score by Mark Morgan, whose scored the first Stasis game, as well as Dark Seed II, Fallout, and more recently Wasteland 3.
In Bone Totem, you’ll be switching between playing as Mac, Charlie, and their trusty Super-Toy, Moses. All the while, you’ll have to manage a shared inventory system where you’ll have to combine items, interact with computers, and solve puzzles in order to escape this nightmare under the sea.
