There will never be a game like this again, masterful beyond words.

Cryostasis was good as a tech demo it also had a great story. It failed as a game due to bad programming and zero optimization. Nuff said

This game doesn't need a sequel. What it needs are more games like it that are well optimized. With the lack of optimization, a GTX 200 series card is pretty much required to play at max.

I don't like to think of this as a game. It's more of a story that uses gaming as a medium. Cryostasis could easily have come from a work of literature. Honestly it makes all those other games that claim to be art like children's novels in comparison. How ironic that it's rated T when in fact it probably requires a more mature audience then any other game.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get in contact with the developers. The site seems to have a virus on it so I can not access it. I would like to ask them some questions about what they intended with many of the things.

Many of the things in the game I still do not understand, primarily the hooded figure that you see walking around. If anyone noticed he has three different textures on him throughout the game. A blood covered one, one that looks like the scales of a fish, and a world map. Also at the end there is a chess board that seems to have some meaning behind the placement of the pieces. King seems to be in check by knight if I remember.

Also if anyone has played through the Russian version do they have a different interpretation of the story.

I've played both and the story is the same. BTW, the story about Danko is one of short stories by Maxim Gorky (i didn't find English translation of this particular short story in the Net).

I agree with RavenMaster and sp3000. A sequel isn't necessary. An optimization patch is. With my GTX 480 (863/1725/1050) and dedicated GTX 260 CORE 216 55nm SC for PhysX (626/1350/1053), I still get slightly under 30 FPS at some points. If an enemy steps on screen, I automatically get 30-40 FPS. I run the game maxed out with AF and AA.

One interesting note about performance - the tech demo, in which I average 65 FPS, uses my GTX 260 sometimes up to 50% or more. The actual game doesn't use my GTX 260 very much... it's max usage is under 30%.

I knew they messed up the programming in the full game! I always said i received better FPS in the tech demo than in the retail version. Im glad im not the only one claiming this.

I haven't played very far into the game yet, but I can tell it's quite a gem, and it was a steal at the 3 bucks I paid for it on Steam.

Outstanding Story! Outstanding from any other fps horror games too!
