I’m not really a huge horror fan, but I like this game and the original Alien movie a lot. I’ve been toying with the idea of trying to write something with the same general vibes as Alien and Alien Isolation, but I’m not really sure how to capture the traits that make them so great in writing when most of the appeal for me is the visual medium (and in the game’s case, a truly stellar AI!).

My story doesn’t have to specifically have xenomorphs or anything like that, although they’re fantastic monsters. I’m more looking for the ‘trying to outwit/hide from a dangerous predator, oh god I’m hiding in a locker, let me throw this flare and go the other way’ type of stuff. If anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them.

Started playing yesterday and I’m hooked (pun intended 😆)! Already got the artifacts at the Marrows and Gale Cliffs, working on the one in Stellar Basin. I’m really enjoying just exploring and finding little hidden things to interact with. Found the stray dog near Stellar last night and was elated, but that immediately morphed into terror when I realized he could get killed if my boat went down. Thank fuck I found him a good home.

Anyway, I love this game and I can’t wait to keep playing. Only seven hours until work ends…..
