What follows could be the last thoughts from his mind as he dies, OR it’s likely the scene is somewhere else entirely. Isaac could have actually been killed in the explosion. When the planet explodes, Isaac shields himself and everything goes white. Look carefully at the video again – this time around the 30-second mark. Clever huh? Remember this message is from the game developers, which makes it more feasible than other ideas. Necromorphs certainly don’t have spinal health bars…įinally take the first letter from each mission to reveal a secret message… You’ll see her spinal health bar is full. He’s gone mad, and in his mind, has somehow turned Nicole into one of them. This was nothing more than another hallucination from Isaac. I’ve come up with a few theories as to what the hell this ending means. Suddenly, Isaac thinks he hears something… and… well, I won’t give it away. He knows it’s probably his mind playing tricks. It’s Nicole – one of her old messages starts playing again, but this time Isaac switches it off. As silence in the cabin grows, a message pops up on the screen. He’s been through hell – betrayed and broken. He takes off his mask and breathes a sigh of relief. The screen fades in and we see Isaac’s head in the reflection of the shuttle’s window. Moments before this, the game’s traitor informed us that messages from Nicole, Isaac’s girlfriend, were in fact nothing more than hallucinations, caused by “the marker”. He covers his eyes as the planet explodes, and the screen goes white. But what does it mean?Īfter hacking and shooting his way through hundreds of nasty necromorphs, Isaac finally returns “the marker” to the surface and manages to kill the game’s last boss, the hive mind.īefore the planet explodes, Isaac quickly escapes in a shuttle. The ending is ridiculously jumpy and caught me completely off-guard, much like most of the game.
You control Isaac, a member of the crew sent to investigate. I’ve come up with a few ideas and theories – with evidence – to make your jaw drop.ĭead Space is an awesome survival horror game, set on a deep-space mining vessel overrun with evil creatures called necromorphs. I completed Dead Space last night and was awarded with an aptly horrifying ending… but was what it all about?
