STAY is a unique adventure/text game hybrid with a thriller atmosphere. The PC Windows and Xbox One versions were developed by indie studio Appnormals Team, while the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch versions were created by Ratalaika Games.

Plot

The protagonist of STAY is Quinn, who apparently has been kidnapped. He wakes up in a locked room, unable to remember how he got there. Using a computer located here, Quinn contacts the player, hoping for help. Whether he escapes or not, and which of the seven endings you get to see, depends on the decisions you make during twenty-four chapters of the story.

GameSpew: 6 / 10 by Kim Snaith

It's just a shame that my enthusiasm and interest was eventually fully deflated by obtuse puzzles that offer no guidance and ultimately feel superfluous to the game. Get rid of them altogether and you've got a gripping interactive story that's dying to be told. But with the puzzles as they are, STAY is reduced to feeling more like a badly-designed old-school adventure game.

Worth Playing: 8.5 / 10 by Fran Soto

By creating a timer feature that tracks how much time we're away from Quinn, Stay extends its memorable experience beyond our gaming monitor and asks us how long we're willing to stay away when it has negative consequences. With great narrative and relatable content, the title falters in creating far too complex puzzles that transform the game from Stay into Stuck. However, Quinn's story (and our story) create solid and thoughtful gameplay that keeps us coming back for more. If one can overlook the puzzling mishaps, Stay is a title that reaches out to all of us and creates a worthwhile experience.

Cultured Vultures: 8 / 10 by Jimmy Donnellan

Despite some frustrating and obtuse puzzles that hinder rather than enrich the narrative, STAY is a simple tale told with style and delivers an important lesson that we could all learn from.
