Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dead Space is a video game released for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2008. It is the first game in the Dead Space series.The game takes place on the Ishimura, a spaceship of the Planet Cracker class, a series of vessels which find mineral-rich planets and lift whole chunks of them into space for mining. During an excavation on a faraway planet, the miners discover a strange artifact of apparently alien origin. The artifact, dubbed the Marker, was apparently causing problems amongst the colonists who were working on the surface of the planet. Eventually, it's decided to transport the Marker to the Ishimura. It did not end well.Luckily (or not), a distress call successfully goes off, and a maintenance crew, led by Sergeant Zach Hammond, is sent to assist the ship. Along with him are two engineers, tasked with helping repair any damage done to the Ishimura that might have caused the distress call: systems engineer Kendra Daniels and mechanical/electronic engineer Isaac Clarke (yes, the name is a reference). Clarke also has a personal reason for undertaking the mission: his girlfriend Nicole Brennan is part of the Ishimura's crew, and he fears for her safety.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })What Hammond's crew finds is a terrifying deathtrap. The crew of Ishimura has been annihilated by Necromorphs - creations of the Marker who infect dead bodies to reproduce and evolve - and the entire ship is infested with reanimated corpses that refuse to stay down. The name of the game is now not rescue, but survival: Isaac and the rest of the rescue team must now find a way off the ship. Using his engineering skills and whatever hastily-weaponized power tools he can find, Isaac must help his fellow survivors escape this hellish situation... if he doesn't crack first.Gameplay-wise, Dead Space shares a lot of similarities with Resident Evil 4. There is one button to aim and one button to fire; ammo, health, audio logs, and money are found scattered about the Ishimura, but they are in limited supply, so the player has to ration everything accordingly (though Isaac will almost always manage to find health on corpses when he really needs it); there is also a store where Isaac can buy ammo, new weapons, upgrades for his weapons, and upgrades for his suit, as well as store extra items cluttering up his inventory.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })An interesting gameplay variation is that Necromorphs are very difficult to kill with head or body shots. Instead, Isaac has to cut several limbs off of each Necromorph in order to "kill" it. Since the Necromorphs come in many different shapes, each fight becomes an exercise in what might be called "creative marksmanship." Isaac also has a Stasis module which can slow enemies or machinery down to Bullet Time speeds, and a Telekinesis device which can levitate objects to solve puzzles.A prequel, Dead Space: Extraction, was released in 2009. A sequel, Dead Space 2, was released in 2011. A series' finale, Dead Space 3 was released in 2013.In 2011, Iron Monkey Studios released a game for iOS and Android devices, also called Dead Space. Since it has the same name, tropes for it are kept on this page at the bottom, although it's more a prequel to Dead Space 2, showing the early stages of the Sprawl outbreak from the viewpoint of a Unitology operative sent to sabotage the station.At EA Play Live 2021, a remake developed by Motive Studios (the same people behind Star Wars: Squadrons) was announced, set for an unknown date and to be released on the PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Your Head Asplode: The Scientist in Chapter 2. Also, the cackling mad woman who commits suicide as you enter the room in the Unitology 'coven'. Too bad you can't pick up her pistol, since this is just moments prior to the Hunter's second appearance (though all things considered, a pistol would probably be useless). A Necromorph also does this to Isaac if you don't fight it off in time.

comment
Unstable Equilibrium: If you don't waste ammo, avoid taking hits, and sell everything you pick up short of ammo and a few medkits, you can upgrade your equipment early on and have a much easier time with the rest of the game. By contrast, if you're trigger happy and let yourself take hits, you'll spend more money on ammo and medkits and less on upgrades, which will only get worse as the game starts throwing elite Necromorphs at you.

Title Drop: The name of the twelfth and final chapter of the game is "Dead Space". Additionally, the backstory log "The Red Marker" indicates the Marker creates a "dead space" around it that makes the necrotic recombination effect dormant, though this doesn't occur during gameplay. It is implied that this dead space is just a measly few meters.

Second Hour Superpower

comment
Second Hour Superpower: The Kinesis Module. This is probably one of the most useful tools at your disposal, along with your plasma cutter. While many of the objects you can throw at enemies are relatively weak, there are a number of objects (including enemy body parts) that do massive damage, and aren't too uncommon in the environment. It's possible to play through almost every fight using only the Kinesis Module, effectively allowing you to have a weapon with unlimited ammo.

comment
Scare Chord: The game features a dynamic music system implemented so that no music, or very little, plays when there's nothing around, but when Isaac sees, hears, or feels something that seriously raises his stress levels, some scary violin chords kick in. Listening to the soundtrack on its own has moments of this, since those chords are built into almost every track. Then there's that incident with the tomatoes...

The Virus
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_1c7555f1
comment
The Virus: The Necromorphs, the race of baddies who make up the Zombie Apocalypse. Unique in that they can't actually infect living people - they have to be dead first. Precisely how the virus itself is transmitted is never particularly clear, since the only vector seen, the Infector, can only create one specific type. Although the Hunter was created by injecting the infection directly through the forehead of a living victim. The motion comic goes into more detail on this, showing a corpse infected by contact with a bacterial colony transforming into an Infector and proceeding to reanimate other nearby dead. Not to mention the book, in which a scientist injects himself with suspicious alien tissue, becoming an Infector soon after.

Chekhov's Gun: Hammond traps a Slasher in a escape pod and latter sends it flying away from the Ishimura when he realizes the creature is still alive. The escape pod is picked up by a nearby military ship, the Valor, thinking it's a survivor from the Aegis VII colony. The crew gets slaughtered and the ship crashes into the Ishimura as a result. Because things that you shoot off into space disappear...right?.

Death of a Child: The Necromorphs transform infants as well as adults, with similar results. One log implies that some children have been born to members of the crew, but the majority of the undead mutant space-babies apparently come from the growing tanks that are right next to the racks for storing fully organic replacement limbs. To make things worse, Isaac can also kill them with a melee attack, that has him kicking them into the next wall.

So Near, Yet So Far: There's a unique example that isn't plot sensitive, but is still a game-spanning objective. The game is littered with enigmatic advertisements for something called Peng and an award in the Achievement System exists for finding it. It happens to be a tiny golden statue of a woman sitting in a trench in the very first area of the game but Isaac won't be able to get ahold of it until returning there near the end of the game, using the Kinesis Module he didn't have earlier. It has no purpose but is sellable for a large sum, and picking it up does net you the aforementioned achievement.

Bilingual Bonus: The PA system occasionally plays public addresses in French. One of those translates to "Attention please, we would like to remind you that body searches may be performed at any moment. Body damage suffered in these searches is not covered by health insurance." Some of them are also in Spanish. The name of Ishimura itself means "Rock-Village" in Japanese. Among the graffiti phrases on the walls of the Med Lab, there is a Japanese phrase mixed in with everything else. Translated, it reads "The Ishimura is dead." Whenever Isaac gets near the Marker, strange chanting can be heard emanating from it. It's very difficult to make out, but fans have guessed that the chanting is "Nostra sanctus deus... Sumus hic mortem...", which, translated from Latin, reads "Our holy god... We are here in death..."

Awesome, but Impractical
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
The Plasma Cutter and the Line Gun are all the player needs to utterly dominate the game on any difficulty setting. The Plasma Cutter is the first weapon as well as the only free one, but both appear early on and can perform the job of any of the more Awesome, but Impractical weapons faster, more cheaply, and without encumbering Isaac. There's even an achievement for completing the game using only the Plasma Cutter. The Plasma Cutter's only failing is that it is impractical in killing Swarmers, a situation rare enough (assuming you aren't popping Pregnants each time they show up) that the ammo you waste doing it is easily earned back.

One Bullet Clips
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_33287e20
comment
One Bullet Clips: Taken a step further with each type of ammo being limited to a set clip size in your inventory (100 rounds per slot for Pulse Rounds, for example), which often doesn't match the clip size of the gun you're using it with. The Plasma Cutter can never hold as many rounds as one of its clips does, while Pulse Rifle clips only cover the bare minimum capacity of the rifle. A fully-upgraded rifle carries slightly less than two clips.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: There's a couple, but a big one is in Chapter 5, where the Fetch Quest-link can be broken (Isaac can't activate the panel to turn the Chemical Mixture W/DNA into Poison), possibly by saving/reloading during the quest, preventing the player from continuing further. Reloading the game may fix this, but usually the only way is to completely start over with a new game. An issue that crops up with newer PCs is VSync, which most players just shut off because it causes mouse lag. What it can also do is completely screw up the confrontation with the Hunter in the cryo-chamber, making it so Mercer never shows up and thus doesn't complete his scripted action, thereby never triggering the Hunter and locking the player in an empty room. Also, don't save after moving the Marker into the second to last shutter. (IE, don't put it in the shutter, then go and save at the nearby save point.) Even after you open the other Shutter, the Marker will refuse to move onto the tracks. PC users have an issue that makes the game Unwinnable within minutes of starting the game. What's supposed to happen is that a door is opened, and you witness a Red Shirt being killed by an enemy. What tends to happen is that the someone is killed by nothing, and the open door acts like a closed door.

 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_355215ef
comment
Randomly Drops: Sort of subverted. Item drops are randomized, but ammunition dropped tends to only be from weapons Isaac is carrying. All ammunition drops that don't fit this are fixed and will be available from the same location in every single playthrough of the game. There also seems to be something of a pattern in how often medkits are dropped (especially when Isaac's health is very low) and where stasis-recharge packs are more likely to recharge (in the areas where this ability is required more often).

 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_36e63b81
comment
Rule of Cool: Some of the game's developers have specifically stated that they did not want Isaac to look like a Space Marine. Be that as it may, what's the best suit in the entire game, in terms of both protection and aesthetics? The Military Suit. Not that it did the ''Valor'' any good... The primary reason why you would find a remotely operated circular saw blade weapon. It even sounds like a real circular saw. If there's a more satisfying way to dismember necromorphs, we haven't found it yet.

Boring, but Practical
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The Plasma Cutter and the Line Gun are all the player needs to utterly dominate the game on any difficulty setting. The Plasma Cutter is the first weapon as well as the only free one, but both appear early on and can perform the job of any of the more Awesome, but Impractical weapons faster, more cheaply, and without encumbering Isaac. There's even an achievement for completing the game using only the Plasma Cutter. The Plasma Cutter's only failing is that it is impractical in killing Swarmers, a situation rare enough (assuming you aren't popping Pregnants each time they show up) that the ammo you waste doing it is easily earned back. The Pulse Rifle once it gets a few nodes put into it becomes a good go-to weapon especially due to it's ammo being so prevalent.

Properly Paranoid
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_3aec9e5e
comment
This turns into a bit of unintentional hilarity when players have wised up to this trick. The best of them simply know to (a) watch for the item drop when you kill a necromorph (since items tend to be shiny and holographically highlighted), (b) automatically blow any "predeceased" necromorph you see laying around away by shooting its legs out with a plasma gun or line gun (this works since only one "predeceased" necromorph on the whole ship actually is dead and not playing dead, though it can still be overlooked if a play-dead necromorph is hiding in a pile of human corpses), and (c) preemptively dismember all the corpses in areas they know an Infector will be about. The rest of us simply dismember everything and some of us rationalize it as Isaac Clarke being Properly Paranoid. Or we like the psychological morale boost to hear Isaac's cave-man roar and the wet squelch sound of corpses popping under the Mighty Boot.

Powered Armor: Subverted somewhat. Isaac's suit is basically a fabric spacesuit when the game begins, and the various suit 'levels' add bar-like plates to the exterior of it, making it roughly akin to futuristic splint mail as the game progresses. Played straight with the Military Suit, which resembles a cross between Stormtrooper armor and MJOLNIR armor.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Inverted. For the most part, the artificial intelligence of the ship is the only thing functioning properly and not attempting to deliberately kill you. Unfortunately, it has a tendency to lock doors at the most inconvenient of times - it's supposed to keep people safe but the Necromorphs are either already in there, or climb in through the vents. The single real human-built AI, named "CECL," only appears in the Alternate Reality Game "No Known Survivors" (though one of the recurring whispers you hear in the main Dead Space game is a recording of some of the things she says). CECL is a "Litigious Risk Computer" which can be consulted for survival/accident odds, as well as dating advice odds, and it is even capable of simulating conversations between two people to a remarkable degree. During No Known Survivors' intermission, CECL speaks with rough disdain of the human need to have closure and "happy endings," but it isn't really malevolent.

The Medical Bay has cloned babies that are grown to replace the crew's limbs in case of major injuries. Naturally, they are kept in creepy looking green tanks. And the moment you see them, you know they're infected too. Then you start running into the Lurkers. Considering the number of Necro-babies you'll run into around the ship are easily as high as the number of jars, most likely all of the cloned babies were infected.

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: The flimsy metal barricade in the Medical Bay, which for some reason requires an entire level centered on building a makeshift explosive device to shift, despite the player character's entire armament at that point supposedly consisting of industrial cutting tools. Oddly inverted in areas featuring zero gravity. Isaac should be able to accidentally walk off the unprotected edge. You also can't step off the edge of the floor only a few inches from the top of a ramp. You can't hop off the tram platform and go down the tracks, either. While Necromorphs can shatter glass (in scripted moments), you can't. Despite being able to stomp and hit hard enough to remove limbs, and the aforementioned cutting tools.

Improvised Weapon: Only one of the eight weapons is an actual gun - the rest are mining/surveying equipment.

Every weapon (except the Pulse Gun) is designed to cut or bisect enemies: the crew knew about dismembering being effective, and adapted their tools (the only things they had) to deal with the situation.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early Installment Weirdness: The only game in the series where Stasis doesn't recharge on its own, and to feature portable oxygen bottles. Also the only one where you can't set your RIG to lead you to stores, benches, and Save Points (Extraction nonwithstanding, since it's on rails; with vastly simplified gameplay). Infector Necromorphs don't have an enhanced version, and they generate enhanced Slashers (or Twitchers). The following installment would make normal Infectors create normal Slashers, and add an enhanced version of them, which creates the enhanced Slashers. In this game, the Marker suppresses Necromorphs and keeps them in a dormant state. In the later games it's revealed the Markers actively cause Necromorph outbreaks. Word of God says this was deliberately rectonned in later games. It may be because the Red Marker is man made and it's implied the original scientists retooled it to suppress the Hive Mind.

Space Is Slow Motion: Perhaps unintentional, but nearly everything done in zero gravity environments is slower than in the artificial gravity counterparts. At least the slower walking is justified as magnetic boots would require you to always keep one foot on the ground at any time, making walking quickly and running very difficult.

That's how brutal it is. Think The Thing (1982) on acid. Dismemberment is the entire main gimmick of the game, with body shots doing jack shit to enemies. You need to cut them to pieces to even stand a chance. Putting aside necromorphs, there's plenty of the stuff that happens to normal humans. A highlight is someone bashing their head against a wall, over and over again, while they have a gigantic cavity in their torso.

Zombie Gait: Averted for the most part. Most Necromorphs can keep running pace with Isaac, the exceptions being the ones whose bulk or frailty wouldn't logically allow them to match his speed. Special mention has to go to the Twitchers, former soldiers whose stasis units have been repurposed to make them inhumanely quick, allowing them to cross a room in seconds.

Telekinesis: via Applied Phlebotinum. It basically gives you Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun, up to and including the use of nearby objects as improvised projectiles. It also provides a very useful workaround for the scarcity of ammo: once you've shot the arms off one Necromorph, you can use those arms to stake the next two you come across! Also, Necromorphs playing possum aren't affected by telekinesis, but dead ones are. It takes the trial and error out of the equation.

Limited Loadout
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_5ed1b6d3
comment
Limited Loadout: Isaac can only equip 4 weapons at a time. The rest must be either kept within the safe (accessible from any of the Ishimura's store consoles) or sold to those stores to free up space. The game further encourages an even smaller loadout for two reasons. First off, the guns are upgraded separately. As such, if you carry the full allotment of four guns, you'll have four poorly upgraded guns. Likewise, ammo drops are based off of the equipped weapons, so if you have a weapon along for niche uses, it'll still take up 1/4th of the ammo pickups you find. For this reason, it's generally best to pick two weapons to use for the whole playthrough, plus the Contact Beam due to its ammo selling for a whopping $1,000 apiece, making the gun pull double duty as an emergency BFG and a cash generator.

Critical Existence Failure
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_64f0c18c
comment
Critical Existence Failure: Averted. Isaac doesn't die until that last sliver of blue is gone, but his heart rate increases, his breath becomes heavier, and he slumps over while moving if badly injured. Also, while having no lasting side-effects, Isaac starts panting and gasping heavily with increasing intensity as his air reserves run out. On the higher difficulty levels, the Necromorphs can dismember and kill Isaac even if the Life Meter is halfway full. Guardians have a One-Hit Kill attack on all difficulty levels if you get too close to them. And it always works, even if you use Stasis to slow them down, which would logically render their One-Hit Kill attack harmless. It even works if Isaac melees them to death (Isaac is immune to certain forms of death during the melee animation, but his head will explode as soon as he stops).

Bizarrchitecture
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_67fedd35
comment
Bizarrchitecture: The Ishimura, while designed as a mining ship and possessing the logical layout of one, has some weird design elements. The ship's tram system is not dual tracked, and the platforms are only on one side of the ship, meaning somebody who would need to go from the Bridge to the Crew Deck would have to take a tram that would then loop around the entirety of the ship, before circling back to the Crew Deck (which is technically one stop behind the Bridge), as trams going towards the bow would be in the way. The Medical Deck's Zero-G Therapy area is accessing by using Kinesis to pull a piece of medical equipment between two separate gaps, which makes no sense and only serves to impede foot traffic for personnel, especially if an operation or procedure is underway. No alternate method to access the different decks on foot appears to exist in the ship's design; the only way is via tram or via the tramway, which, if the tram is offline, essentially isolates decks from each other (and traversing via the tramway can also be dangerous, impractical, or impossible given no access points exist in every location to get from the tramway up to the deck itself).

The player is left wondering why his compatriots don't try - among all the other things they hack - to hack the store system (or acknowledge they tried) to give him freebies.

Driven to Suicide: The crew of the Ishimura isn't entirely dead when Isaac arrives. When you do find them, most of them will be in the process of committing suicide because they know that the Necromorphs turn human corpses into new Necromorphs. Some of them might be doing this to join them; others apparently found creative ways to kill themselves (like a guy who blasted off all his own limbs!) so they wouldn't add to the threat. Mostly, though, the survivors have all been Driven to Madness, both by the horrible situation and the Mind Rape effect happening to everyone. Oh, and Nicole did it before you and your crew even arrived, rendering your search for her All for Nothing.

comment
Unwitting Pawn: Vandal, twice. The first is when Vandal disables the power grid, unleashing the Necromorphs. The second is more of a slow-burn, as Tyler spends much of the game regaining Vandal's trust, only to trick her into jamming the doors open, so the Necromorphs can infect the Sprawl.

Outside of her logs, she never talks normally when she addresses Isaac. Everytime she's on screen with him, she repeats that Isaac needs to "make them whole" and talks poetically about retrieving the Marker. Nicole in her final video did speak dramatically of never expecting to die away from Isaac, but not in the semi-religious tone she uses near the endgame.

comment
Psychic Link: The Hive Mind apparently has one of these with the other Necromorphs, though in practice it doesn't really affect the proceedings and the Necromorphs seem to largely do their own thing. It might be more intelligent than it looks. The moment Isaac begins moving the Red Marker, Necromorphs everywhere increase in numbers and try to stop him every step of the way. And the Marker is really pulling a Mind Screw on Kyne and Isaac. Also, right at the start of the second mission, Isaac runs into a dying, blinded woman cradling and talking to "McCoy" (at that point, McCoy was a rotting, dismembered torso). She tells Isaac that McCoy said he'd show up, and hands him a kinesis module. This is likely the Marker tricking her into giving Isaac a needed tool so he could do his part in returning it to the planet.

There's a couple, but a big one is in Chapter 5, where the Fetch Quest-link can be broken (Isaac can't activate the panel to turn the Chemical Mixture W/DNA into Poison), possibly by saving/reloading during the quest, preventing the player from continuing further. Reloading the game may fix this, but usually the only way is to completely start over with a new game.

Big Bad Friend: Tyler guides Vandal through much of the game and provides some needed company for the beleaguered engineer as the Necromorphs begin to appear. But it's all a ploy for Tyler to trick Vandal into overriding the lockdown protocols, so the Necromorphs can pour into the Sprawl... and it works. The Corer. Tyler describes it as having the power of the fist of God. It can cut through 65% of heavy elements.

Attack Its Weak Point: To kill almost every enemy you encounter, you have to shoot off An Arm and a Leg. (Exceptions include Dividers and Swarmers.) Since every form of Necromorph has a different weak spot, most of which are discovered via Trial-and-Error Gameplay, basically every enemy in the game also qualifies as a Puzzle Mook.

PC users have an issue that makes the game Unwinnable within minutes of starting the game. What's supposed to happen is that a door is opened, and you witness a Red Shirt being killed by an enemy. What tends to happen is that the someone is killed by nothing, and the open door acts like a closed door.

Excessive Steam Syndrome: The USG Ishimura is a mining ship, so the industrial sectors of it are noisy and clanky, with steam and other evidence of heavy processing machinery going on.

There Is No Kill Like Overkill
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_8b606a51
comment
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Pretty much every death scene for poor Isaac. A good example would be the Hunter death scene: the creature stabs both its blades through Isaac, then lifts him up above it. It then stabs him two more times, cuts off both his legs, cuts off his left arm, looks into his eyes as he bleeds out, then decapitates him and cuts his torso in half. Yeesh. If one feels like watching this particularly violent death, this troper took a video of it, which one can see here If you fail to kill the Hive Mind when dangling, your death is almost thirty seconds of it chomping at Isaac, removing individual limbs with a mouth with More Teeth than the Osmond Family while he screams in agony. It's worth losing just to see it, because Kendra's death looks pretty tame in comparison.

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: Averted, more or less. The first weapon you get, the Plasma Cutter, is good enough to be your weapon of choice to the end of the game.

Recycled IN SPACE!: The game is Resident Evil 4 IN SPACE! Whether or not this is awesome is entirely up to the player.

Not to mention that, as Yahtzee noted, the story is more or less Event Horizon meets Aliens. Another Let's Player made an informed comparison to Run Like Hell: Hunt or Be Hunted.

Rewatch Bonus: Upon arriving at the Ishimura, Kendra begins casting doubt at Hammond's decisions, and it only continues from there, with her accusing him of knowing more than he's letting on at every possible opportunity. On your first playthrough, this could be chopped up to her being a civilian freaking out or becoming irrationally paranoid. Going through the game a second time will make you realise that since she's The Mole, she is likely just trying to make Hammond look guilty in order to gain Isaac's trust, with her constant arguing at Hammond's every word becoming much more obvious.

Head Desk: Isaac comes across a guy randomly doing this in a part of the USG Ishimura. The guy is just standing in the hallway beating his head against a wall, with more blood coming out with every hit. Eventually, he hits his head against it hard enough that it kills him. And when his corpse is on the ground, you can see that there was nothing left inside him - all of his intestines had apparently been ripped out.

Better to Die than Be Killed
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_99298c71
comment
Better to Die than Be Killed: Several times. For instance, Isaac encounters a man who headbutts a wall until his skull is pulped. Nicole kills herself via lethal injection prior to Isaac's arrival. There's also the log you can pick up of the man who shoots his own limbs off with a Plasma Cutter so that he couldn't hurt anyone after coming back as a Necromorph. It doesn't work.

More Teeth than the Osmond Family
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_9a5ae2a2
comment
If you fail to kill the Hive Mind when dangling, your death is almost thirty seconds of it chomping at Isaac, removing individual limbs with a mouth with More Teeth than the Osmond Family while he screams in agony. It's worth losing just to see it, because Kendra's death looks pretty tame in comparison.

Death by Irony: Hammond. When you first fight a Brute, he warns you that the only way to harm it is to shoot it in the back. Much later in the game, a brute corners him, and he panics and fires right into the creature's front, doing nothing and getting himself torn apart. To be fair to poor Hammond, he was cornered in a confined space up against a vastly tougher version, already wounded and visibly limping.

comment
Foreshadowing: NICOLE IS DEAD: In one of Nicole's video logs there's a lot of static, and her face briefly gets static and distortion over it that makes it look like a skull. Hammond can listen in on Isaac through his RIG, making a comment when he finds a video log from Nicole, assuring they'll find her. But the few times when Nicole seems to contact Isaac directly, or even when she appears physically to him, neither Hammond or even Kendra say a word. In fact, when Nicole's first physical encounter is over with, Kendra remarks that her communication with Isaac was cut off. Kendra begins telling Isaac that she's seeing her brother on video screens which is "impossible", heavily implying he died before the game. The same as Nicole. The first time Nicole helps Isaac and he has to defend them from Necromorphs, they don't even seem to notice the things. Because Nicole isn't really there. Outside of her logs, she never talks normally when she addresses Isaac. Everytime she's on screen with him, she repeats that Isaac needs to "make them whole" and talks poetically about retrieving the Marker. Nicole in her final video did speak dramatically of never expecting to die away from Isaac, but not in the semi-religious tone she uses near the endgame. Meeting her in the flight deck control room in Chapter 11 has the nearby computer screens distort with Unitologist symbols. Kendra being an undercover EarthGov agent: Upon first encountering the Necromorphs, Kendra's first reaction is to assume they're mutated crew members, whereas everyone else in the Dead Space franchise who first sees the Necromorphs generally assume they're some kind of alien species. Even Hammond, who has baseline information about the Marker, doesn't know what they are on the first encounter, cluing the player in that Kendra knows more than she lets on. Besides her constant complaining regarding the mission, Chapter 4 opens with Kendra arguing that Hammond knows something about the Marker and is hiding it from her and Isaac, with Hammond acting defensively about the subject. He only has basic knowledge about it and assumes the Marker was of alien origin because that was the classified information divulged to the CEC at the time. Kendra knows this, accusing Hammond to cast suspicion on him and deflect it from herself. Hammond makes an effort to console Isaac and assure him they'll find Nicole. Kendra never even bothers. She's ecstatic when the USM Valor contacts the Ishimura after fighting the Slug boss. Hammond later notes the ship's armed to the teeth and is somehow already in the same system as they are, as if they were waiting nearby. Hammond's communication line with Isaac is constantly interrupted by something or someone aboard the ship, with Dr. Mercer being the only obvious suspect. Except Kendra also has clear contact with Isaac, and the signal jam affecting Hammond only stops when the Valor crashes into the Ishimura, near the sector where Kendra is.

There are less bodies the second time around, although by that point you'll know this is kind of a bad sign.

Guardians have a One-Hit Kill attack on all difficulty levels if you get too close to them. And it always works, even if you use Stasis to slow them down, which would logically render their One-Hit Kill attack harmless. It even works if Isaac melees them to death (Isaac is immune to certain forms of death during the melee animation, but his head will explode as soon as he stops).

MacGuffin: The Marker - practically anything weird that happens can be credited to the Marker messing with you... The power of the Marker to repel Necromorphs is somewhat debatable though, as the Necromorphs seem as willing to attack you when you are standing next to it. Maybe it needs to be on its pedestal to work properly.

You can't even take the rifle off a guy who was just killed two feet in front of you. That said, he finds a metric assload of ammunition free for the taking.

Took a Shortcut: You really do have to wonder how some of the characters manage to get around the ship without being killed, considering they're running around a ship infested with undead killing machines and Isaac appears to be the only person who bought a helmet for his spacesuit. Hammond and Kendra are somewhat justified, given that the former seems to have military training and the latter spends most of her time sealed in a secure control room and also turns out to be a Spec Ops agent. But you really have to wonder how the unarmed, rather doughy-looking Dr. Kyne, as well as the unarmed and completely batshit insane Dr. Mercer, managed to survive for so long when everyone else got killed. Simple, The Marker is safely leading Kyne around the ship and considering how intelligent the Hive Mind is, all of Mercer's help means leaving him alive is more useful than transforming him into a Necromorph.

Artificial Gravity: It's an actual gameplay feature; more so when it's not available. Some instances have the grav-plating break, causing gravity to reverse and become more powerful over the broken panel. Walking into it throws Isaac/necromorphs so fast that it gibs them. This also occurs on the Valor - you find a soldier pinned to the ceiling who's still alive and groaning in pain.

Variable Mix: The music rises and falls depending on how you move through the level, but it also remains silent unless the player sees a monster, whether or not the monster is actually in the room with you. If one hits you from behind or jumps into view, you get a very appropriate musical sting that adds to the surprise.

Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: Zig-Zagged. Shooting a Necromorph's head will kill it... if you've blown off at least one of its other limbs (or two, depending on what you're shooting). Shooting one in the head from the get-go, however, will only make it go berserk. However, after the head is removed, if you throw it or shoot it, it pops like a melon filled with firecrackers.

Colony Drop: Though not exactly a colony, a massive portion of Aegis VII comes crashing down after Isaac accidentally shuts down the only thing holding it in position. He then has to not only race Kendra Daniels to the only still-functioning space ship on the planet, but also defeat the Hive Mind, start up the shuttle, and after all that, get far enough away before the Aegis VII Shattering Kaboom.

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: With one exception, the enemies in this game pose more threat to you than the bosses do, partly because the standard enemies are really into ambushes while the bosses telegraph their attacks and have very obvious weak points.

No OSHA Compliance: Even before the Zombie Apocalypse, the Ishimura isn't exactly the safest place in the universe. For example, it has nozzles designed to spray acid across a hallway at a set of storage rooms at regular intervals.

Oxygen Meter: Used when you enter a vacuum or toxic environments. The game is pretty forgiving in this respect: you get a minute of air minimum, and there's infinite oxygen refill stations in areas where you'll certainly exceed that minimum. Consequently, this renders the fairly numerous air canister pickups useful only for sale.

Corridor Cubbyhole Run
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_b87ca9b3
comment
Corridor Cubbyhole Run: Chapters 3 and 4. First, you have to run a circle through a now-active centrifuge to reach an elevator and leave the area, ducking into large niches in the walls when the arm goes past to avoid getting torn to shreds. In the next chapter, you have to run over the outside of the Ishimura and hide behind metal walls to avoid getting splattered by asteroid impacts. Made interesting as you are exposed to space in both cases, so if you take too long, you asphyxiate - Chapter 4 is especially tight - while Chapter 3 also has Necromorphs pop up in each cubby-hole. While in Chapter 4, you also have to run back after dealing with the asteroids, and since the hull is no longer being pounded, you're pursued by multiple Necromorphs. You could hang around and kill them, but in the circumstances it's less risky to just keep running and leave them on the outside of the ship.

People Jars: The Medical Bay has cloned babies that are grown to replace the crew's limbs in case of major injuries. Naturally, they are kept in creepy looking green tanks. And the moment you see them, you know they're infected too. Then you start running into the Lurkers. Considering the number of Necro-babies you'll run into around the ship are easily as high as the number of jars, most likely all of the cloned babies were infected. Doctor Mercer's office contains various heads in jars and a room in the Medical Bay contains the Hunter and another victim in large jars.

Late to the Tragedy: By the time the Kellion makes it to the Ishimura to repair the subspace array, most of the crew is dead. At most, there are 20 survivors, and of these, all but 6 are too far gone (physically anyway... mentally, there's 5) to be saved by the time you see them while 3 of them escape just as you arrive. The entire ship is overrun by the infection, and Necromorphs have free reign over it. And the Valor after that. Not a good day in the Aegis system.

Money Spider: For some reason, many of the Necromorphs are carrying either ammunition, health, or their paychecks. This gets a little weird when you find it includes Lurkers. Stasis modules can be melded into flesh, and so can items. That still doesn't explain why lurkers have items, though.

Decontamination Chamber: Which takes exactly as long as it takes for Isaac to kill several Necromorphs. However, the ship's AI rightfully considers Necromorphs to be biohazards, so it isn't much of a stretch for the AI to wait until they have been dealt with. After all, each time a Necromorph enters the chamber, there's another body that needs to be decontaminated.

Hope Spot: Near the end of the game, Isaac actually succeeds in putting the Marker back on its pedestal and suppressing the Necromorphs and the Hive Mind. That lasts for just a few seconds before Kendra removes it again and things get even worse. Several smaller ones occur before, such as successfully sending a distress call to the Valor and meeting up with Nicole. All are dashed by the end.

Cutscene Incompetence: Aside from the Valor, there are several instances where a door won't open until after some poor schmuck gets killed - including the guy banging on the door when you get the plasma cutter (he gets killed by a Slasher), the scientist pinned to a wall and killed by a Lurker, Hammond being ripped apart by a Brute, and Jacob Temple being stabbed to death by Dr. Mercer. Why can't you just break the windows in the latter two instances when you're carrying weapons made for cutting metal and pulverizing rock?

Shout-Out
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Isaac Clarke's name. At one point, you have to salvage a "Singularity Core" from the USM Valor. Said core looks an awful lot like a flux capacitor... The first loading screen, which is a graph describing the Kellion's Shockpoint jump, also states that the "Flux Capacitor" is a component of the FTL engine system. Other components include The Improbability Drive and Warp Field Generator. On the Medical Deck, a woman addresses a corpse as McCoy. Mercer also possesses a medical manual in his office for 'Galaxy Class' starships. There's also a "Storage Room 47". Having to mix up poison and use it on the hydroponics deck? Guess the system has been shocked. A visual shout-out to Alien; when encountering danger for the first time, you run down a dark hallway full of flashing yellow lights, almost identical to Ripley's retreat from the Nostromo. The promotional comic The Big Game is one to the Chick Tracts. In the medical section of the Ishimura, at one point you can hear over the loudspeaker, "Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard." Word of God says that the Divider enemy and its howl were inspired by The Thing (1982).

Artistic License – Chemistry: Zig-Zagged with Isaac's use of a 'thermite bomb' to destroy a metal barricade. Thermite would only flow down the surface of the barricade and through the floor. But thermate, a formula variation of thermite, is hotter and faster burning, and commonly used for exactly this purpose.

Space Is Noisy: Averted. The game will amplify the sounds coming from inside Isaac's helmet, muffle the sounds coming from direct contact with his weapons or the ground, and mute most sounds while in a vacuum (you can still hear close enemies though, because the sound is being realistically transmitted through the floor). It's actually quite immersive and adds to the gameplay since he can't hear Necromorphs creeping up on him. Space Is Cold is also averted, for that matter, though it's less obvious.

Take Your Time: No matter how urgent the task, nothing will actually happen until you reach the place it's supposed to occur at. Even when the ship is getting pummeled by asteroids or the oxygen levels are rapidly falling, or that big chunk of planet crust is dropping through the sky down onto where you are fighting the end boss. The Necromorphs are good enough to leave you alone while you spend all the time you want practicing at the shooting range or playing Z-Ball.

Developers' Foresight: The flamethrower will not work in the depressurized areas of the ship, due to lack of oxygen. However, its fuel, hydrazine, is hypergolic, meaning it will ignite when in contact with an oxidizer, and is typically used with a liquid oxidizer in a separate tank. EA corrected this error in later games, in which Isaac can use his Flamethrower- even in a vacuum.

The Cavalry. The USM Valor which shocks in at the introduction of Chapter 8. Of course, by the beginning of the next chapter, almost all of the Valor's crew has been brutally slaughtered. There is good reason to believe (due to text logs and the Valor's complement of nuclear missiles) that if the crew succeeded in their original objective, a Cavalry Betrayal would have occurred for everyone but Kendra Daniels.

Red Herring: You lose contact with Hammond several times throughout the game with weird shit popping up during the interim, and Kendra thinks he knows more than he's letting on. He doesn't, she's The Mole and keeps cutting off his communications. She's most likely accusing him of being a spy to avert any suspicion towards herself. "The lady doth protest too much" indeed.

Futureshadowing: Staring a New Game+, Isaac can look through the crew dossier for the USG Kellion as organized by Zach Hammond and his superiors. Isaac has a more than thorough entry, detailing everything about him from where he went to school to who his parents were, but Kendra just gets a stub with the guy who sent the message telling Hammond that she was recommended to him last minute and that he has almost nothing on her personally.

Cat Scare: The game loves to do this to you: you'll hear the Scare Chord and only see a box falling from a shelf, it's only until several seconds later that a hideous alien baby jumps out of the dark at you. This is sometimes due to the game's line of sight detection thinking the monster is in view when it isn't, but just as often seems intentional, possibly making this a case of Throw It In!.

Artificial Brilliance
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_df11acbe
comment
Artificial Brilliance/Artificial Stupidity: Zig-Zagged. Due to some rather loose scripting, it's possible to make Necromorphs jump in and out of vents endlessly, force The Hunter to kill itself, and make Brutes totally ignore you, among other things. Many Necormorphs also seem to be tied to their room (unless scripted otherwise). On the Brilliance side, however, that same loose scripting means that necromorphs will use tactics like playing dead mid-battle, retreating out of sight until the player stops to reload, and remaining silent while sneaking up on Isaac. In a more subtle touch, the game occasionally breaks script for the benefit of players who get overly clever by throwing in bonus encounters in random places, delaying expected ones like vent-ambushes for a few seconds, exploiting Cat Scares and distractions, and generally screwing with the player. While a player is busy toying with the Necromorph playing peekaboo in the air vents, it's entirely possible they are oblivious to the other one sneaking up behind them.

Finishing Stomp: A good idea when you're not quite sure whether that Necromorph in front of you is dead yet. Also a good idea when you're not quite sure whether there's an Infector nearby who might make a new Necromorph out of that human corpse in front of you. And finally, a good idea if there's a crate you want opened in front of you. Not a good idea when it comes to certain enemies who happen to be explosive, but in 95% of all cases, stomping the crap out of everything will make your situation better - even if it's just by relieving stress.

Not Quite Dead
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_e431c24c
comment
Not Quite Dead: Occasionally, Necromorphs that you have only damaged will play dead and ambush you when you try to walk past. The Hunter Necromorph refuses to die, growing back its limbs when you cut them off and even coming back after you cryogenically freeze him. Eventually, you have to incinerate him with a shuttle's engine fire to finish him off for good. Any human corpse you see can come back to life if there's an Infector Necromorph in the area. The best idea is to stomp every corpse and take at least two limbs off. The rule of thumb is that if you weren't the one who killed it, it's not dead.

Press X to Not Die: If a creature grabs hold of you, just mash the right button and you'll pry them off, and oftentimes unleash a can of whupass whilst doing so (such as kicking the lurkers clear across the room). A few instances, such as the Hive Mind's grab and the tentacles dragging you to your doom, require you to aim, rather than just mash.

Spotting the Thread
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_ec0ce986

Spotting the Thread: Quite a few: first of all, it is a relatively simple jump in imagination to complete the message that the chapter titles are spelling out. Second: You know that Doctor Kyne is hallucinating and is seeing his dead wife, and after hearing Mercer talk about it in a log, you can figure out that the Marker can only create visions of the dead, and so Nicole is dead as well. Third: While aboard the USM Valor in mission 9, you get a video transmission from Nicole. For a split second, her face distorts into a skull. Fourth: When you are in close proximity to Nicole in the Flight Control Room, getting close to the monitors causes them to display Marker text overlaying a CEC logo. It's the first clue that something is wrong with Isaac.

Mundane Utility
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_eff83d77
comment
Mundane Utility: Inverted. The weapons that Isaac uses are actually mining or repair tools. The plasma cutter, line gun and ripper are used for cutting through rock and other barriers, the force gun is essentially a jackhammer, etc. etc. All of them have in-game justifications for the Ishimura's task of planet-cracking. The only true weapon that you get is the pulse rifle, and it's a lot less effective than your other weapons unless you know how to use it properly. Don't forget Isaac's suit. At its strongest, it's slightly less effective than full-on combat armor, because it was made for engineers (like Isaac) trained to go in and solve problems under extreme conditions. As an engineer trained to handle emergencies on a spaceship, Isaac had to be prepared for anything that could go wrong on a spaceship, and a lot can go wrong in a spaceship.

comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Admittedly, the only creatures you interact with are undead aliens, but Isaac can maim and mangle them just as badly as they can brutalize him. Cutting limbs off, punting babies like footballs, ripping heads off in choke holds, tearing tentacles out... and this is actually encouraged by the game; it's more ammo-efficient to dismember your opponents. This even applies to human corpses. Any intact corpse is Infector bait, so the savvy player will maim them all with gratuitous boot-stomping.

Follow the Leader: An excellent demonstration of Tropes Are Not Bad. Dead Space was very obviously inspired by early footage of darkSector, back when the latter game was set in space and featured a protagonist in a similar suit fighting space zombies; even the names are similar. The gameplay also shares many similarities to Resident Evil 4, from the camera angles, to the inventory, to the aiming and shooting. Other obvious influences include System Shock, the Alien franchise, Event Horizon, and The Thing (1982).

Spring-Loaded Corpse
 Dead Space (Video Game) / int_fcf26d33
comment
Spring-Loaded Corpse: Necromorphs adore playing dead, and since the ship is overflowing with corpses, this can make for many a Jump Scare. Resulting in your throat getting torn out. Made even worse by the fact that many creatures love to play dead in the middle of a fight, and will happily stalk you while your back is turned. Nothing quite as pleasant as turning around and seeing the creature you supposedly just killed escape into a nearby vent. This turns into a bit of unintentional hilarity when players have wised up to this trick. The best of them simply know to (a) watch for the item drop when you kill a necromorph (since items tend to be shiny and holographically highlighted), (b) automatically blow any "predeceased" necromorph you see laying around away by shooting its legs out with a plasma gun or line gun (this works since only one "predeceased" necromorph on the whole ship actually is dead and not playing dead, though it can still be overlooked if a play-dead necromorph is hiding in a pile of human corpses), and (c) preemptively dismember all the corpses in areas they know an Infector will be about. The rest of us simply dismember everything and some of us rationalize it as Isaac Clarke being Properly Paranoid. Or we like the psychological morale boost to hear Isaac's cave-man roar and the wet squelch sound of corpses popping under the Mighty Boot.

Was Once a Man: Pretty much all of the things Isaac graphically dismantles used to be members of the Ishimura's crew, excluding the Hive Mind, and possibly the Leviathan and Slug. It's implied (admittedly more All There in the Manual) that the Hive Mind is physically composed from the reshaped corpses of, A: the majority of the colonists, B: the original poor bastards who became Necromorph chow when they first reverse-engineered the damn DNA codes, or C: both of the aforementioned.

Shown Their Work: The Dead Space wiki talks about the hydrazine fuel of the flamethrower and its use for melting ice on comets for mining. Such a fuel is used in space travel already, in part because it's a monopropellant and requires no oxidizer; ice is plentiful on comets. In general, it's all very well thought through, except that in the game, the flamethrower doesn't work in a vacuum. Hmm. Ever wonder why flies would populate something that's floating around in space? The Ishimura is designed to be self-sufficient. It has hydroponic gardens, probably recycling centers and whatnot. As such, flies would be completely necessary for breaking down organic waste and many of the gardening processes. The GamePro article, "The Science of Dead Space".
