More of STASIS, same atmopshere and same character styles (everyone is insane). What really made it hard for me to enjoy this game was that the puzzles had no direction to them. Early on you get a can of protein powder. The description makes it seem like you'll be using it to wake someone up, or something to that effect. What do you use it for? Using it as an alternative for fingerprint dusting. Except the last person to use a terminal was a guy in a giant psuedo hazmat suit, and the second time you use the powder, it's on a ID card that can also apparently double as a fuse? There was no logic there what so ever. The last straw for me was to use a terminal to get a piece of information (room numbers), except for a few things about the terminal: 1. You used it once before for a completely different purpose, and the new purpose was not there before. 2. There was a reactor overload not 30 minutes before that logically would have fried it completely. 3. The terminal is literal...

A really fun isometric point-and-click adventure game in a gritty sci-fi horror setting. The puzzles in this can be really hard to figure out, but thankfully there is a guide available to look at if you get stuck. This is set adjunct to the devs other game "STASIS" which I do look forward to playing in the future. This game is short, as it took me 2 hours to complete, but I felt satisfied with my experience with it, and enjoyed every moment with it. My only complaint that I could really point out, was the FMVs felt a little less quality compared to the rest of the game. Some of them were even just 2 seconds long, which is like why even bother? PROS: - Great atmosphere. - Great graphics. - Sound design is top notch. - Voice acting is good. - Good horror moments. - Nice and short. - Steam Achievements. - It's Free! CONS: - FMVs could have been a higher quality, a little longer. - Old School Point & Click tropes are present. - No Steam Trading Cards.

Holy Hell this is FREE!!! WTF. 5 hours spent very well. Ok now for free this has some seriously good writing, voice acting done is this Well Done seriously!!! I loved this game from start to finish pulls you right in, Great stroy and its told beautifully also the old school point and click is done very well to a high standard if im honest esp when its FREE!!! might I just add ;) The Stroy is good and the PDA files holy shit some of them are messed up man, At first glance its like ahhh man I gotta read Morrowind days all over xD but when you read them you get an idea of what the hell is going on in this place and I just wanted more. I could go on and on how i really enjoyed this game for what it is but I would rather you all download it and play it for yourself trust me you wont regert it, not only that did I mention its free.

This game is for free, probably to drag attention towards the next big project that has been released on Kickstarter. While I think this is a clever idea and a good way to give a taste of what their games feel like, unfortunately the taste I got from Cayne was disappointing. On a first glimpse, it looks like a game with a very specific aesthetic and atmosphere, which personally I find very appealing. It makes you feel like you're about to dive into a small chunk of a big, immersive world. You realize it's not as wonderful as it feels once you get stuck on the first puzzle. If you like to proceed by trying to randomly combine everything with everything, then you'll get your treat. I prefer intuitive puzzles that have some logic, puzzles that make you feel satisfied when you figured it out yourself and not because you were lucky to click the right stuff in the right place. Unfortunately, Cayne disappoints on that aspect. And there isn't much left to this game that can make up for it. ...

[b]Cayne[/b] is a powerful adventure game. I would’ve loved for it to be much longer, but it’s free, so I won’t complain - too much - about the length. The level of quality and effort put into this free title is outstanding, beyond what most other developers would do.

Just because a game is free, doesn't mean it's also free from critique... Cayne in my opinion just makes about everything that made Stasis interesting worse. The positive: - New graphics engine and smoother animations, my main critique of the 1st game The negative: - New graphics engine...the game just looks too clean compared to Stasis. Everything looks kinda "nice" instead of dark and gritty. - Annoying unskippable dialogue and cutscenes that take away control of your character. Your mouse pointer disappears and all you can do is wait around for the boring dialogue to finish. - The story is threadbare and utterly uninventive and boring. You know from the very beginning who the antagonist is. You don't know why, even after the ending, because it just ends after 2 hours with no "real" explanation, though I can guess. It's still only piecemeal. There are only a handful PDAs of very ugly people (now with pictures) around that detail some of their moronic conceptions. Most of it can be...

This is a short atmospheric, isometric gore-horror point & click adventure game. It looks well done and the puzzles are fun, not authomatic but not impossible. Only recommended if you like the point&click adventure games though. But if you like them, give it a try, it's entirely free to play, which is amazing, it even has some voice acting and cutscenes. And it has been transalated to many languages, and looks well done, which is just shocking for a free game. Could have been 5-10$ easily. The same developers got other previously released game you can try if you like this: it's not free and its called Stasis, but both share the same atmosphere.

It's free so it won't cost you anything to try it. But - regardless of the price - it's a thumbs down from me wheras STATIS got a thumbs up. The story is barely coherent. Actually, it may not be coherent at all. There's a chick, she's preggers and....stuff happens. Much of the stuff isn't really relevant. The grotesqueries are over the top, there's a lot of screaming, everyone is insane and there's very little to care. I had to search the forums to piece together the story. I don't mind some ambiguousness in a story but when half of it ventures into "WTF" territory then there's something wrong with the way it's told. Furthermore, the puzzles were fairly stupid. Like (hey, spoilers ahead!!!) usinga broken scapel on a can of food so you can smear grease on a terminal to figure out which buttons people have pushed. Huh? There's ton of ash around you from buring fires and you want to use grease from food? Another has you accessing a terminal that's labeled broken yet it not only works i...

Pretty awesome game. It has more cutscenes than some AAA games. [h1] Positives [/h1] - The story is awesome and the writing is pretty great. - The visuals are great - The atmosphere is eerie, although it could have had some more suspense and danger. - Voice acting is pretty good (not superb but for a free game it's amazing) - A lot of effort went to a free game. Wish we had more devs like this - Puzzles are decent [h1] Negatives [/h1] - Some puzzles could've been designed better. For me it was the fuse box. But I guess it's pretty standard to complain about some puzzles. - There is one larger area that you frequently cross, and each time you have to sit there and watch your character run for a few seconds. It gets annoying after a while, especially, if you are lost and frequently backtrack. The positives heavily weigh over the negatives, and although this game is not for everyone (heck this genre isn't for everyone) it's worth a try for most hardcore gamers and definite try f...
