"Dead Space Demake has everything you want and more, from necromorph limb dismemberment to affine texture mapping errors," Brumely wrote. "You've played Dead Space (2008) and you've played Dead Space (2023) it's time to soak in the horrid vibes of Dead Space (1998)"

The Dead Space Demake is available to try now, free via itch.io. Here's how it looks:
