Dead Space

In the future, Earth’s appetite for resources has become a major motivator for deep space exploration. Immense, privately-owned and operated mining ships called “planetcrackers” orbit planets and use sophisticated equipment to carve out entire city-sized chunks of rock, and reduce them to component elements and raw ore.

When an immense mining ship, the USG Ishimura, comes into contact with a mysterious alien artifact in a remote star system, its communications with Earth are mysteriously cut off. Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to repair the Ishimura’s communications array, but he arrives to find a living nightmare - the ship is a floating bloodbath, the crew unspeakably mutilated and infected by an ancient alien scourge.

Clarke’s repair mission becomes one of survival as he fights not just to save himself, but to return the artifact to the planet … at any cost.

Als das riesige Abbau-Schiff "USG Ishimura" in einem entfernten Sternensystem mit einem mysteriösen außerirdischen Artefakt in Kontakt kommt, bricht plötzlich jegliche Kommunikation mit der Erde ab. Ingenieur Isaac Clarke wird geschickt, um die Kommunikationsanlagen der Ishimura zu reparieren. Bei seiner Ankunft findet er jedoch einen wahr gewordenen Alptraum vor - die Mannschaft wurde auf grausame Art umgebracht und in furchteinflößende Abscheulichkeiten verwandelt. Clarkes Reparatur-Mission ist zu einem Kampf ums Überleben geworden, bei dem er nicht nur für seine Rettung kämpft, sondern auch darum, das Artefakt zurück auf den Planeten zu bringen, koste es, was es wolle. Das gesamte Schiff wurde von den geheimnisvollen Necromorph heimgesucht. Das sind einige der abscheulichsten Kreaturen, die jemals über heimische Bildschirme kriechen werden. Da Isaac als normaler Wissenschaftler keine Soldatenausbildung hat, muss er improvisieren, um der Biester Herr zu werden. Also zweckentfremdet er kurzerhand seine Bergbauwerkzeuge, wie Minenlaser oder Kreissäge, um ein paar chirurgische Eingriffe ohne Betäubung an den Aliens vorzunehmen.
