Cryostasis
Cryostasis is a Horror-Survival, Action, and Single-player video game developed by Action Forms for Windows. The game focuses on Mental Echo, an ability through which a character can penetrate the second character’s memory and alter his performed actions of the past.
The player plays as Alexander Nesterov, where he has to fetch the fragments of Maxim’s Gorky fairy tale by exploring the ship from a first-person view. The character is a meteorologist who supposed to board a ship and is getting back after serving duty then suddenly discovers that the ship damages since 1968.
Using the mental echo, the player must correct the mistakes of the crew members by getting to the past. The ship collided with an ice-burg due to the irresponsibility of three officers. The game has different outcomes depending on the investigation of the player, and he can replay the game many times.
