Hi, and first of all thanks for the interest in our game. We are putting a lot of effort in this one.

THey said it: REGULAR combat with, WHAT ELSE, ZOMBIES.
Come on, they clearly told you that and they are making fun of it:
1 - regular shooting is boring, with or without a machine gun or a granade launcher.
2 - shooting zombies is the WORST VIDEOGAME CLICHE EVER.
This is going to lower your possible success if you just fill the ship with ice zombies and this cheap stuff. Noone want to shoot zombies anymore except the geeks that will buy "Left 4 Dead" for this reason. Silent Hill 2, Bioshock again confirmed that a game to be scary has to feature well thought, stylish monster design and needs to provide you with a motivation better then "oh, the nasty evil zombie will kill me so i'll shoot and shoot again".
In Bioshock the people you fought could'nt be reduced to a word like "enemies" or "monsters".ANd the key to this was making them..human (in behaviour and expression too), and so... ambiguous.

What do you think of those things? Will the developers read this posts?
ANd one question more: who writes the story and events for Cryostasis? Did you hire a professionale writer?

Second thing I would like to mention is that the enmies are NOT just REGULAR zombies. There is a whole story behind this game. And these are actually former crew members that lost their battle and gave in to the COLD. We will definetely epxplain more abouth these characters on the official web site of the game which is due to open pretty soon.
The members of the dev team will definitely be visitng this forum and answering your questions. Moreover we are of course in permanent contact with the developers, so our staff will also try to help you out with the questions.
Russian MTV has recently shown a program called Video Game Icon which was dedicated to Cryostasis. We have plans to tranlsate this one in English and it will available for download on the web site. I guess this TV feture should answer a lot of questions about the game.
