It goes without saying that Motive’s Dead Space Remake is one of my contenders for the best horror game of 2023 – and there’s been some good ones so far. Putting a new spin on the iconic Ishimura adventure, one developer has unveiled their Dead Space Demake, which is available for free right now.
While it may not be the very real Dead Space Remake remake we promised on April 1, Fraser Brumley’s Dead Space Demake is absolutely worth playing.
Inspired by the pixelated graphics that define the 90s and early 2000s, the Dead Space Demake sees you traverse the hallowed halls of the once proud Ishimura as a bright orange, glowing Isaac Clarke.
The trailer shows off the starting sequence of the game where you collect plasma cutter. Scrawled in blood above the iconic weapon is the ominous “cut off the limbs,” and when you raise it to cut off said alien limbs your met with an aqua, binary UI. Pull the trigger, and a loud ‘pew’ echoes off of the ship’s metallic walls, with the laser looking like it’s straight out of Tron’s Grid.
As the next door opens we catch a glimpse of the Necromorph, which somehow looks even more like a mound of twisted flesh because of how pixelated it is. As it lumbers towards Isaac with a warped, twisted expression, he lasers off its limbs, reducing it to a bright red mound of flesh and bone on the floor before the trailer returns to its starting point.
Dead Space Demake is done!
