Just in time for Halloween, digital storefront GOG is offering players a free copy of Stasis, the eerie sci-fi horror adventure from developer The Brotherhood. The giveaway runs through November 3, making it a perfect time for horror fans to experience this cult classic without spending a dime.
A Sleeper Hit in Sci-Fi Horror
Released in 2015, Stasis is an isometric point-and-click adventure that tells the unsettling story of John Maracheck, a man who awakens from cryogenic sleep aboard a derelict spaceship called the Groomlake. What should have been a routine journey to Titan quickly turns into a nightmare as he discovers something has gone horribly wrong.
The game’s atmosphere draws heavy inspiration from sci-fi horror icons like Alien, Event Horizon, and Dead Space. Its moody visuals, detailed environments, and dark storytelling made it a sleeper hit among genre fans upon release.
Grab It Free Until November 3
To claim Stasis, players simply need a free GOG account. Once logged in, the game can be added to their library at no cost before the giveaway expires on November 3. For those who prefer Steam, the game is also available there at a 60% discount for a limited time.
With a 78 critic score on OpenCritic and a 3.9 user rating on GOG, Stasis has maintained a strong reputation nearly a decade after launch. Players often praise its immersive atmosphere and strong writing, though some note that its old-school gameplay design reflects its 2015 roots.
More to Explore in the Stasis Universe
Players who enjoy Stasis can continue the story with Cayne, a free prequel released in 2017. This shorter experience, which takes about three hours to complete, follows another survivor navigating a similarly disturbing environment.
Meanwhile, the 2023 sequel, Stasis: Bone Totem, expands on the universe with new characters and an underwater setting that adds even more tension. Both Cayne and Bone Totem are currently discounted by 60% on GOG and Steam.
Other Free Horror Experiences
GOG isn’t the only platform celebrating Halloween with free horror content. On Steam, the early access version of REPO is also free to play until November 3, letting players team up for some physics-based co-op chaos in eerie environments.
Whether revisiting Stasis or discovering it for the first time, horror fans have plenty of ways to embrace the spooky season with chilling sci-fi adventures.
