Finished Dead Space Remake? Try this free demake, available now

It goes with out saying that Motive’s Dead Space Remake is one in every of my contenders for the most effective horror game of 2023 – and there’s been some good ones to this point. Placing a brand new spin on the long-lasting Ishimura journey, one developer has unveiled their Lifeless Area Demake, which is offered at no cost proper now.

Whereas it is probably not the very real Dead Space Remake remake we promised on April 1, Fraser Brumley’s Lifeless Area Demake is completely value enjoying.

Impressed by the pixelated graphics that outline the 90s and early 2000s, the Lifeless Area Demake sees you traverse the hallowed halls of the as soon as proud Ishimura as a vibrant orange, glowing Isaac Clarke.

The trailer reveals off the beginning sequence of the sport the place you accumulate plasma cutter. Scrawled in blood above the long-lasting weapon is the ominous “reduce off the limbs,” and if you increase it to chop off stated alien limbs your met with an aqua, binary UI. Pull the set off, and a loud ‘pew’ echoes off of the ship’s metallic partitions, with the laser trying prefer it’s straight out of Tron’s Grid.

As the subsequent door opens we catch a glimpse of the Necromorph, which someway appears much more like a mound of twisted flesh due to how pixelated it’s. Because it lumbers in direction of Isaac with a warped, twisted expression, he lasers off its limbs, decreasing it to a vibrant pink mound of flesh and bone on the ground earlier than the trailer returns to its place to begin.

Lifeless Area Demake is completed!

I used to be terrified of Lifeless Area as a child, and reliving that terror as an grownup with the remake was a lot enjoyable. Weirdly, the demake feels much more creepy to me, as a result of whereas graphically it could’t examine to Motive’s, there’s one thing so unsettling about an enormous mound of sq. flesh launching itself at you out of the shadowless darkish. For avid followers of the collection, that is an absolute should – however even when you love an excellent demake, I’d think about taking this for a spin, too.

The Lifeless Area Demake launched on April 10, and might be downloaded on itch.io. You may observe Brumley there, too.
