Elevator Pitch – Stasis

We talk Chris Bischoff, the man behind the exciting and gorgeous sci-fi, horror, adventure game Stasis. Unfortunately there is no video to go along with this pitch today as google hates everyone but we make up for it with Chris’ charm plus James and Paul shutting up most of the time.

Harmonix has an awesome looking new game in Thumper, we learn our morals from a robot in Doki Doki Universe and Nintendo shows us why we can’t have nice things.
