"Survival horror is about experiencing a terrifying, and deeply personal fiction," said Executive Producer Glen Schofield. "Dead Space is being developed as a single-player thriller that delivers the chilling, claustrophobic feeling of being isolated in a dark environment, while being stalked by some truly horrific enemies. Halloween is the perfect time for EA to deliver the fear and anxiety that will keep survival horror fans up playing all night."
