Bring Cryostasis back!! An interesting and at times creepy relic of mid-2000's Eurojank. I remember the gameplay being quite slow but still very engaging and atmospheric. I remember this game blew my mind with its graphics of the time. This was on store fronts many years ago but seems like it was delisted due to rights issues. Would love the chance to own and play this again (legally)!

Another interesting bit of lost media that I discovered via YouTube videos, but never got the chance to play before or since. Both its atmosphere and its technical achievements with things like water effects make it seem like an impressive project for its time, and it deserves to be back on storefronts.
A game worthy of preservation, This lost gem has a unique atmosphere, combining mystery and a creepy supernatural tone. Game mechanics were fairly fresh with nice visuals

a little masterpiece that's bound to come back from the dead. The story that is told in this game, I was hooked and does not let go until now, after many years I remember about this game, and so I want others to have the opportunity to play this game, to feel the atmosphere and the emotions that it gave me once upon a time

legit one of the most creative and unique horror games out there, fans want it back and we want it back bad. don't let another good game go unpreserved! this game's atmosphere, sound, environment, make it all so unique.
People need to know this game! The atmosphere of this game is amazing, realistic sounds and the game is very immersive, please don't let this game be forgotten.
It's so unfair that this is abandonware at this point because it's a genuinely good game with a unique atmosphere. Bring it back please, so more people can discover this gem.

Well while I am not familiar with the game at all and sincerely I apologize for those who have played this game and enjoyed it, however at the request of a friend, I have voted for this game. I can see from the gameplay and screenshots of why he enjoys this game and it would be cool for more people to be exposed to this game and for it to gain more traction.
The game, the atmosphere, the Civvie11 video on who to blame in having it delisted. There was no reason to have this game taken down on GoG when it was available. To preserve this game would not only give me a chance to play this gem, but a reason why people like to play janky games of the past rather than trying to play catch up with every game out there in the year 2025 onwards.

I remember this game from my childhood. Genuinely spooky. Beautifully atmospheric and had very impressive storytelling with the ability to time travel. It was a game I never personally got to beat though. And now that it basically doesn't exist it seems I never will. I hope GoG will fix that. Bring back this hidden gem with a bit of polish and let the world see it. Just... polish it well. Was a bit of a buggy one.
