In 2008, EA Redwood Shores (now Visceral Games) released Dead Space, a game that set the gold standard for sci-fi horror. Blending elements of psychological thriller, survival horror, and science fiction, it offered players an unforgettable journey into the depths of cosmic terror. The story takes place aboard the massive planet-cracking ship, the USG Ishimura, which has mysteriously gone silent. Engineer Isaac Clarke, part of a repair team, arrives hoping to fix the ship’s systems and find his girlfriend, Nicole. However, what was supposed to be a routine mission turns into a nightmare as the crew faces monstrous Necromorphs—horrific creatures that reanimate the dead.
