Welcome back to Game Club, the podcast where gamers unite to revisit, celebrate, and dissect the titles that shaped the industry. Each episode, we spotlight a single game and break it down from every angle; story, gameplay, world-building, design, and the legacy it carved into gaming history.

For Episode 2, we’re drifting into the cold, blood-stained corridors of the USG Ishimura as we revisit one of the most influential sci-fi horror games ever made: Dead Space. Released in 2008, Dead Space redefined survival horror for a new generation with its visceral combat, suffocating atmosphere, and masterful environmental storytelling.

👾 In this episode, we’ll explore:

🩸 How Dead Space reinvented survival horror through strategic dismemberment, claustrophobic level design, and zero-HUD immersion

📖 The unsettling lore of the Marker, the Necromorph outbreak, and the corporate secrecy that set the stage for Isaac Clarke’s nightmare

🎧 Why its sound design — from eerie whispers to mechanical groans — remains some of the most terrifying audio work in gaming

🎨 How its visual design, from the industrial sci-fi aesthetic to body-horror creature design, created a world that still feels uniquely disturbing

🏛️ Dead Space’s influence on modern horror games and the enduring legacy it left across the genre

🤔 And of course: does Dead Space still hold up today, especially after the remake and resurgence of sci-fi horror titles?

But Game Club isn’t just our discussion it’s a community experience. We’re inviting subscribers to join us live in future episodes to share their own perspectives, memories, and insights as we dig into gaming’s past, present, and future.

📅 Think of Game Club as a book club… but with plasma cutters and survival horror chills. Bring your nostalgia, your theories, and maybe a spare oxygen tank.
