In Dead Space, players step into the role of engineer Isaac Clarke – an ordinary man on a seemingly routine mission to fix the communications systems aboard a deep space mining ship. It is not long before Isaac awakes to a living phantasm when he learns that the ship’s crew has been ravaged by a vicious alien infestation.Now he must fight his way through the never ending silence and darkness for his survival….
