Cryostasis is a first-person action game set in the Arctic Circle during the early 1980s aboard a Russian nuclear ice-breaker ship, The North Wind. The player-hero, Alexander Nesterov, is a meteorologist, sent via a sled-dog team to investigate what happened aboard the ship.

Alexander has only a few basic melee weapons and some frozen Russian firearms with which to defend himself from the undead crew. Unfortunately for Alexander, they have unfortunately undergone a series of bizarre mutations in the extremely cold and radioactive environment of the derelict vessel.

Cryostasis is a story-driven single-player game without a multiplayer component. The story is somewhat character-driven, but only to the extent that you are meant to recognize some of the key characters, but not necessarily empathize with them. Some of the more interesting tasks which Alexander must undertake involve stepping into the memories of the trapped crew-members, in an attempt to free their souls from their frozen tombs in a process called "Mental Echo." Doing so will render obstacles passable, and progress in Cryostasis is essentially impossible without completing these memory sequences. Luckily, the player gets as many chances as it takes to get it right.
