## Description

An interactive story with several endings where choices matter. 
Are you going to leave him to his fate? Save him? Or even worse... make him live all possible endings?

When Quinn wakes up alone in a locked room with nothing of note save for a computer hooked up to a chat room, you become his single ray of hope.
Your choices – and your timeliness – will single-handedly shape his escape efforts… or lead him down the path to an untimely end.

Cultured Vultures  "Boasting deep, innovative mechanics"

GAMECRITICS  "The Most Intense IM Chat Of My Life"

The indie game website  "will leave you biting your nails"

STAY plays out in real-time, every minute spent away from the game is a minute Quinn is left alone.
Drop out of conversations or leave Quinn to fend for himself for too long and there may be consequences.

Prove yourself a compassionate ally and he’ll learn to trust you and share his findings and deepest thoughts. Fail, and his emotions may work against you.

## Review summary

Reviewers praise STAY's inventive concept, gripping atmosphere, and challenging puzzles, with the story and meaningful choices highlighted as its strength. However, recurring issues dampen enjoyment: frequent save/load bugs and progress resets, hard puzzles with no hints, long, sometimes pretentious dialogue, and sporadic stability problems (crashes, black screen, audio gaps). Some players feel the endings are unclear. Overall, the title is seen as high quality and worth the price by many, but its reliability and lack of hints present major obstacles to completing the game.

### Pros

- Complex, well-thought-out storyline with meaningful choices.
