The available reviews are broadly favorable, especially about its characters, voice acting, and science-fiction horror mood, though some players may find the writing verbose or the puzzles demanding.
What kind of game is STASIS: BONE TOTEM?
Developed and published by The Brotherhood, STASIS: BONE TOTEM released on Steam on May 31, 2023. It is a point-and-click adventure in which players explore an underwater setting with three characters. Expect to investigate environments, solve puzzles, and follow a character-led science-fiction horror story rather than engage in action-focused combat. Steam’s official listing describes the game and its supported platforms; The Brotherhood’s official page links to console storefronts.
What do reviews say?
Critics: favorable, but a small PC sample
Metacritic lists an 85/100 PC Metascore based on seven critic reviews, all marked positive in the cited set. The displayed reviews date from June through August 2023. That is a favorable signal, but a small PC sample—not a verdict on every platform or a measure of all players’ views. Metacritic’s listing also includes console platforms, whose reception should be considered separately.
What reviewers praise
Across the cited excerpts, atmosphere, story, characters, voice acting, and puzzle design recur as strengths. PLAY! Zine’s July 4, 2023 review excerpt highlights the combination of characters, macabre environments, atmosphere, puzzles, and story. Adventure Gamers’ August 18, 2023 excerpt praises the horror story and challenges it describes as not overly difficult. The Games Machine’s June 27, 2023 excerpt commends the science-fiction horror atmosphere and narrative.

Reservations: prose and puzzle friction
The Games Machine also notes that the writing is verbose, which may limit its appeal for some readers. Puzzle expectations vary: while Adventure Gamers’ cited excerpt characterizes the challenges as not overly difficult, Cubed3’s Switch review says puzzles can halt progress. Treat these as reviewers’ differing experiences, not a single difficulty rating that applies to every player.
Does the Switch version differ?
In a May 3, 2024 review of the Switch version, Cubed3 praises the characters and voice acting but reports that prerendered backgrounds dip in quality on Switch, particularly on puzzle screens. That is a platform-specific observation from that review, not proof of a universal technical problem or a comparison establishing which version is best. Check the storefront and version-specific coverage for the platform you plan to play.

Where can you play it?
The game is listed for PC and consoles, but availability does not establish identical release timing, performance, or edition contents across platforms. Metacritic lists PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The developer’s official page links console storefronts. Confirm current availability and details on the relevant store page before buying.
Steam lists Windows and macOS builds, twelve supported languages, and Windows and macOS system requirements. It also labels the game fully functional on Steam Deck; that compatibility statement is from Steam’s storefront, rather than an independent test.

How do Steam players rate it?
Steam’s captured listing showed “Very Positive” English-language reviews: 93% positive from 1,405 reviews in the 2026 snapshot. Steam’s user-review percentage and count change over time, so treat those numbers as a dated snapshot rather than a fixed rating. The figure reflects English-language Steam reviews, not reviews across all platforms.

STASIS: BONE TOTEM is a strong fit if you want a slow-burn, atmospheric horror adventure with exploration, puzzle solving, voice work, and substantial narrative. It is less suited to someone seeking action-heavy horror or concise writing. If puzzles stop your progress, Steam Community materials include an official walkthrough and a free hint-guide PDF. Steam also lists the Supporters Pack and soundtrack as optional digital add-ons; these are not evidence of physical editions or printed extras.
