This steel beast once fought for its country, but it fell into an ice trap as did every living thing onboard.  Alex will fight the cold and what lives within as he tries to find out what happened. Cryostasis is a drama about a ship and her crew evolving in an atmosphere of ice and animal fear.

Cryostasisis available for PC for the suggested retail price of $29.99 and is rated ’T’ for Teen by the ESRB. For more on the game, please visit www.cryostasis-game.com.
