Check out their platform to start making and playing games now: http://bit.ly/Core-RagnarRox MONSTERS OF THE WEEK: CRYOSTASIS - SLEEP OF REASON The Ukrainian Psychological Horror First Person Shooter Cryostasis is an overlooked gem of mid-2000s shooter design, with still-up-to-this-day technically impressive visual and technical design and a setting unlike any other in an action-heavy narrative game. The game takes place on an icebound ARKTIKA class nuclear icebreaker, stuck in the north pole and it is your role to piece together the story of what went down on the unlucky ship by traveling into the deceased crew members’ memories and witnessing the events unfold from their eyes. It’s a game that deserves to be preserved, which is hard these days due to its technical limitations and difficult availability due to non-arbitrable legal differences between the developer Action Forms and their publisher 1C Company. ADDENDUM - IF YOU WANT TO GET CRYOSTASIS In the video, I say that the easiest way to get access to Cryostasis on Steam is Key Resellers, and that is true, however, please note that the game is also considered Abandonware and is available on Abandonware sites for download. Which is legally grey, so proceed at your own risk. 00:00 Intro: The Root of all that’s Rusty 03:05 Sponsor 04:40 Part 1: Hope-Punk, Kiev-Style 09:20 Part 2: Die Hard on a (Deep-Frozen) Ship 15:17 Part 3: Dead Man Tell Tall Tales 20:52 Part 4: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Jank 28:40 Credits __ Check out HROT on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/824600/HROT/ __ Credits Additional Video Editing: Kaigalinski https://twitter.com/KaigaYT Closed Captions (English): Matt Cox https://twitter.com/pop_primer Special Thanks: Michael Saba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN2qxq3KhWI __ Gameplay Credits Stalker: Anomaly segment by Dillon Rogers https://twitter.com/TafferKing451 CHEEKI-BREEK! by Verse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC2egrdAVYs GPU PhysX in Cryostasis by Zogrim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kufpPwho9Ec Cryostasis - Host of the Seraphim by Sinjun Balabanoff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i26OwE-1F0A Cryostasis (PC) Tech Demo MAXED by Chubzdoomer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZfXIFFmB7M Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher’s bay played by mahaibest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7bGGkdtRfY Gamestar Bug Video Gothic 3 by Christian Schmidt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7bGGkdtRfY S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
