Can you hold the bestest of boys by their big doopy? With the cutest of grabbies?

I love the idea of a rat companion sitting on top of your equipment. A shame the setting is probably not for me, as someone sensitive to animal cruelty I doubt I want to see animals locked up in some nightmare of a lab. Maybe something similar would be done in some light-hearted game later.

Oof, not a great trailer. I like a lot about it but the "kids singing creepily" thing is completely ineffective and undermines the whole tone. I'll definitely pay attention to the game but that's in spite of the trailer rather than because of it.

Always interested in what they put out as it is always unique.

Cool premise, i hope playing as a chimpanzee adds something new gameplay-wise.
If it just moves like a regular human, that'd be kinda disappointing.

Not super impressed by the trailer, but I've got Brotherhood's back and there's still a ton of room for improvement since it's not coming out until 2026. Stasis: Bone Totem is one of the best games I've played in years.

I feel like once the 360 era started developers sort of forgot they could create any crazy fantastical thing they could imagine, and everything for the most part has gruff dudes fighting or running from other gruff dudes or relatively generic looking monsters.

What if you were a scientifically enhanced lab monkey? With a rat buddy? So much more interesting immediately.

Of course I'm generalizing massively, but I do feel like a creative tide has been rising in the last several years, with developers allowed to dream large, take more chances, and just get weird.

Chimp with rat buddy is pure win, right up there with bear and bird. But maybe a hair darker in this instance.

So Zoochosis but good...

Its cool to see this team tackle a 3d game, love the Stasis games. Hoping for early 2026, I grow weary of games getting announced more than a year from release.

This looks neat. Stasis, Cayne and Beautiful Desolation were all excellent but felt that Bone Totem really overdid it on the overly engineered puzzles.

This looks neat though
