Trigger Warning: Suicide and Murder of Fictional Characters
Today we talk about Dead Space and its Remake, an action-horror game where you play as Isaac Clarke as he explores the wrecked space ship called the Ishimura. We take a look at Isaac and his mental well being while experiencing this traumatic event in real time, some of his treatments, and then talk a bit about horror game design. Then we chat about what games we’re enjoying now!
