Dead Space genuinely scares me
I have played other horror games that have creeped me out but I wouldn’t say I have actually felt scared while playing them or delving into the respective lore, that is until Dead Space
Everything about this franchise is just so fucking unsettling, the Necromorphs, the isolating feeling when you’re on the Ishimura, the fact that both your body AND your mind are under attack thanks to the Marker is probably the scariest part to me. It’s haunting watching what the Marker does to people, whether they are dead or alive
I remember that feeling of dread in Dead Space 2 when I saw the Ishimura again and then realising we had to go back there, I was like oh god no please, me and Issac have been through enough 😭🤣
I don’t get too sacred to the point where I can’t play through any of the games but that feeling of apprehension is always there. No other horror franchise has affected me this way before
