Stasis is a term in Greek political history. It refers to:
- the constant feuds between aristocrats in archaic Greece, and their struggles to attain the best in title (aristos is Greek for "the best") both in terms of prestige and property. It led to various civil wars and the establishment of Tyrannies in many cities of ancient Greece, most notably the Tyranny of Peisistratos in Athens
- the feuding between oligarchic and democratic factions in the Greek city-states of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. This is a theme of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, which features a famous description of factional fighting on the island of Corcyra (modern Corfu).
Stasis is a 2015 science fiction horror point-and-click adventure game developed by The Brotherhood Games. Viewed from an isometric perspective, the game requires interactions with computers, combining items and puzzle solving. The game was released on 31 August 2015 for the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, with Linux and mobile devices planned for future release.
The game centers around the main character John Maracheck who awakes from Stasis aboard an abandoned spaceship. Maracheck must unravel the mysteries aboard the spaceship "Groomlake" to find his missing wife and daughter, before the spaceship plunges further into Neptune's methane clouds.
The game has been compared with the science fiction horror film, Event Horizon, and the psychological horror adventure game Sanitarium.
