I played Cayne, should I play Stasis?

[Ares]

As the title says, I played through Cayne and loved it for the setting, the feel and everything else. The thing is, I played it before I even knew Stasis existed. My question is, did I spoil something big by playing Cayne first? Will I be able to enjoy Stasis after playing Cayne or should it have been the other way around? Should I play Stasis at all? Are there any big differences between the two games that I should know of? I assume Stasis is the main game while Cayne is some sort of standalone free DLC with a different protagonist, but I'd like to hear from somebody who played both :)
With the Summer sales upon us I'm only getting either SOMA or Stasis. not both, and I'd like a little nudge in one direction or the other. Thank you in advance!

Hey Ares. I am a little bias, buttt,,, SOMA is amazing and one of my all time favorites. I suggest grabbing SOMA on the sale and get STASIS on the next one. STASIS can be enjoyed on its own as a self- contained story. CAYNE was spoiler free in terms of the STASIS plot. Same world, different tale etc :p Either way, enjoy the game and let us know your thoughts when you decide to grab it.

Holy moly, the devs themselves! Thank you very much for your reply and for answering my questions! I will think about it some more but I will definitely tell you about my Stasis experience when the time comes! :)
In the meantime I can tell you that Cayne had a great atmosphere and that I loved it despite not being very fond of point and click games in general. It really made me want to check out Stasis once I discovered it existed.

I actually hated Cayne. I know it was freeware but still, I just had to downrate it. In fact, I'm probably going to write these very words when I review it. Fact is I actually have had this on my wishlist and missed two summer sales in a row with it stuck there because every single time I say it started thinking "wait a minute, but this could be exactly like Cayne. And Cayne is shjt. And I don't even like point and click games like this) and yet I finally got it and I am actually stuck on it and tabbed out right now.

So in summation to answer your question, YES. YES INDEED THIS IS WORTH A BUY. And I'm saying this as somebody who hated Cayne for the most part and don't even like this genre. It's good. It's like, really good. I would highly suggest you buy it and play it.

And lastly holy Christ devs, why on earth haven't you made a full scale CRPG yet? For one thing, your improvements over Cayne with this game are vast. It would be even weirder if Cayne came after, which it did iirc. But Stasis itself is an absolutely AMAZING game so far and is lacking the absolutely puerile legs and instead is made by what looks like an actual vidya writer. So I would be very interested to play a CRPG from you guys that's somehow exploring Cayne Corporation and the general background plot. I would play the hell out of a crpg like this and it would stand out as being incredibly unique: a horror crpg set in space

Lmao
This is hilarious
SOMA is one of my all time favorite games!
Later I played CAYNE which I loved...and I compared it to SOMA in themes. And I just had to play Stasis next.

Hmm, I played CAYNE then Stasis and to be quite honest, CAYNE is my favorite. The writing, even the puzzles, and everything seem improved upon. But I loved how long Stasis was in comparison, of course! I do think CAYNE made a stronger impact on me...I love that game.
