Reviews for "stasis: an interactive haiku of isolation"

I haven't a clue what I'm meant to be doing. Perhaps that's the point, as in neither does the character know what they should be doing, but it feels like quite a stretch to compare cluelessness on how to play here to being isolated and purposeless. I can always stop playing the game and play a different game, I can't really do that with real life, that's what makes quarantine so difficult and something that doing a one for one mirror ultimately fails to capture.
An engaging experience can do so much more to explore an idea, whilst this just seems to make the quite obvious point that it's hard to find purpose in isolation without really conveying the emotional impact.

That or I'm missing something obvious. Still, nice style to it.

Half a star for functional game play and a cool premise/meaningful theme, zero stars for just being a genuinely boring game, I got to the year 4532 and I wasn't bothered to keep swapping between stasis and hyperjump after that, would've liked to see an end cut scene if there was one, but aint no body got time for this. Good luck with your future endeavors.
