Hey Guys,

STEAM SALE

We are excited to be a part of the Steam Summer Sale! We have added an awesome discount to Deluxe as well as the normal STASIS version.

We won't discount STASIS again for a while, so grab it now if you haven't already.

MORE ADVENTURE GAMES

I am happy to announce CAYNE @ www.playcayne.com

"Hadley wakes in a facility. She is 9 months pregnant. They want her baby..."

When the dust settled after STASIS, Nic and I knew that the journey wasn't quite over. After spending 5 years with our dear John and the search for his family aboard the Groomlake, we weren't ready to leave the grimy world of Cayne Corporation behind.



So when it came to CAYNE (the additional chapter we'd promised to our Backers) we wanted to do something different. John's story was a small sliver of what the world of STASIS had to offer, and how exciting and rewarding it is to be able to explore a little further... to slice open that seedy underbelly and see what's inside!



CAYNE is a self-contained story. There are threads from STASIS, tethering the two together, while still letting exist apart from one another.



The decision to make CAYNE free to the public was one that we went back and forth on, but we'd love to introduce a taste of STASIS to new audiences. And how better to showcase our new engine framework and what we can do with it?

So look forward to the high quality games that THE BROTHERHOOD plans to produce in the future.

Alongside the release of CAYNE, we plan on crowd funding an entirely new adventure game.

double post.

To celebrate, we have applied a 25% discount (35% for DELUXE) for this Easter break! If you haven't played the Best Adventure Game of 2015, then get to it now on STEAM!

Every year, 'adventuregamers' celebrates the Aggies, the pinnacle of adventure game awards.

STASIS featured in no less than 5 categories, including BEST ADVENTURE GAME and BEST TRADITIONAL ADVENTURE GAME.

The highlights of this 22nd century tale are almost too numerous to detail: There’s a rich backstory of human corruption to unearth, but also a surprising number of individual stories to delve into - each with its own personal perspective. The sprawling levels of the near-derelict research ship the Groomlake are gorgeously presented using the criminally-underused isometric viewpoint, the soundscape is thoroughly authentic, the music sparse but atmospheric, the interface stylish and cleverly implemented (including the why-don’t-more-games-do-this conceit of displaying full text commentary when simply hovering over hotspots – why waste mouse clicks?), and the puzzles slickly integrated into a very intuitive gameplay experience.

We could go on, but you get the idea. A whopping five years in the making by largely one man, STASIS may not be without flaws, but it’s a thoroughly compelling adventure that everyone should play. Chris Bischoff has given himself a ridiculously hard act to follow, taking home our much-deserved Game of the Year Aggie Award for 2015, but here’s hoping that we see plenty more from this talented developer in future.

You can find all the winners here: http://www.adventuregamers.com/articles/view/29966

Get it now at 25% off.

PS

If you would like to play in Turkish, feel free to upgrade to the latest BETA - this will be official soon but you can play it right now!
