Unfortunately, once they unearthed it, widespread dementia ensued on the colony below. The Marker (below) is this super ancient artifact that this cult called Unitology thinks will be the key to eternal life.Īs such, the captain (who’s a unitologist) nabbed the shit. Whilst they were digging on Aegis 7 they found a relic known as the Marker. You see, the USG Ishimura is a Planet Cracker ship, meant to harvest resources from suitable planets that can be used to sustain earth. Now, having seen all the corpses and shit on your way through the game, your first thought might be,Īnd then, when you start getting messages from her after hearing all these audio logs about people hallucinating and seeing SPECIFICALLY dead loved ones,Īnd then you start hearing her voice and seeing her around the ship (without a gun no less) you might think,

The game slowly introduces you to more and more as you progress, and they steadily get scarier and scarier.īut that seems like a topic for the gameplay portion.īack to the plot, you find out very early on (like first cutscene), that Isaac’s girlfriend Nicole was stationed on the Ishimura (Slight spoilers ahead by the way, skip to the stepladder to avoid them) There’s no sort of weaning into it its just “Oh welcome to the ship, lights are flickering a lot but that’s okay, hey do you know where we can find OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!”Īnd there’s more than just one kind of Necromorphs too. This game doesn’t introduce these things like the Alien movie introduced Xenomorphs, where a member gets infected by one and then the thing births from him and then it grows and THEN it becomes an alien, Not just cause of how they look (although, that is a big part of it) Now Necromorphs are up there for me in scariest fucking enemies in a video game. They enter the ship and soon find that everyone’s dead and the place is SWARMING with these things called Necromorphs (first ones you encounter down there). To quickly summarize, the game follows Engineer Isaac Clarke (down there) and the crew of a repair ship in the year 2508.Īt the beginning of the game, the crew is answering a distress call from the resource gathering ship, the USG Ishimura. īut enough of my raving, lets get on with the review. It’s bloody, it’s violent, and its just scary. That happened to scare the shit out of me. In short, its a third person psychological horror experience with a bit of blood and action along the way.


The game was released in October of 2008 and since then its been regarded as a flipping amazing horror game. Heyo! Violet Jessamine here with this months review of Dead Space.
