Description
You are Isaac Clarke, an engineer on the spacecraft USG Ishimura. You're not a warrior. You're not a soldier. You are, however, the last line of defense between the remaining living crew and deadly reanimated corpses. The undead have become Necromorphs; horrific zombie-alien hybrids that won't succumb to traditional means. Fortunately, your offense is equally unique, as the high-powered mining tools at your disposal provide the means to fight against the threat.

Messy monster slaying.
The Necromorphs are unlike any enemies you've seen before. Headshots do about as much damage to them as flicking rubber bands. To survive, you'll need to dismember their insect-like limbs, one at a time.

Improvised weapons.
There aren't many traditional firearms aboard the Ishimura, but there's plenty of stopping power in Isaac's toolkit. Send horizontal or vertical blasts of energy at enemies with the Plasma Cutter, remotely control a high-speed sawblade with the Disc Ripper, and fill hallways with wide swaths of destruction with the Line Gun. Switch things up with alternate fire modes, and purchase upgrades to increase ammo, power, and reload speed.

Real-time attacks.
Whatever you do, don’t drop your guard. Everything takes place in real-time. That means any action you take, whether it be reloading or digging through your inventory, gives the Necromorphs a perfect opportunity to attack. This nightmare has just begun and it’s up to you to get to the bottom of what happened here.

Best Space Horror game up to Date!

I'm a fan of outer Space horror SiFi and Dead Space hits that perfectly. If you like Books of H.P.Lovecraft or Films like Event Horizon you will love Dead Space. There are already good reviews so I just wanted to add that there is a MOUSE ACCELERATION PATCH on PCGamingWiki.com for Dead Space if you have problems with keyboard/mouse

Classic

Needs a patch for proper mouse handling and has a couple other minor quirks, but otherwise works great with Proton and Lutris, and plays well even today.

My First Ever Video Game!

"Dead Space" was the very first game me and my little brother played. It was so scary we had to take turns playing it with the lights on and holding on to each other. I'm so glad it's available here on GOG. Now, we gotta help bring the rest of the franchise here.

Absolute classic

Played this for the first time in 2025, this game aged amazingly well. DS2 has the gameplay, but OG DS has the Ishimura and the survival horror beginning-to-end. Absolute masterpiece. Very wholesome and family-friendly too.

It works and is really good

This was the first time (the year is 2025), that I first played this horror action/adventure game. Never played it before. It still holds up. I played on Intel Core i5 12400 with Intel UHD 730 integrated graphics and I could not believe, that I could turn on all effects, high settings and 2160x1440 pixels resolution and got steady 60 fps on an integrated GPU. Yeah, I know, this game is 17 years old. Still, it surprised me. 😊 It worked without problems on Windows 11 Home 64-bit, 24H2, build 26100.4349.
