Bone Totem is the second instalment of a series of point-and-click adventure games called Stasis, launched in 2015. The game was developed by the authors of the original, i.e. the indie studio The Brotherhood from South Africa, who created such games as Cayne and Beautiful Desolation.

Plot

Stasis: Bone Totem takes us on a journey into a dark science fiction universe created for the original game, but tells a completely new story. The main characters of this game are Charlie and Mac, the scrap metal collectors, who are supported in their work by Moses, a super toy for special tasks. The protagonists earn money by searching the seabed and selling the goods found there. When in the middle of the Pacific Ocean they come across the abandoned (at least at first glance) DEEPSEA 15 - the Cayne Corporation oil platform - it seems that their dream of wealth will finally come true. However, it quickly emerges that this facility is by no means abandoned, and that the three of them will have to face the nightmares waiting for them there.
