Dead Space - Complete Collection -2008-2013- Direct

A unique "interactive comic-style" game bridging the stories of Dead Space and Dead Space 2 . Players assume the role of engineer Franco Delille, witnessing the initial Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl. Gameplay consists of three hacking mini-games interwoven with motion-comic cutscenes featuring multiple story paths and four possible endings—each unlocking a special suit or item for use in Dead Space 2 .
