"The sleeper hit of the year? Hmm..."

Summary

In the future, Earth’s appetite for resources has become a major motivator for deep space exploration. Immense, privately-owned and operated mining ships called “planetcrackers” orbit planets and use sophisticated equipment to carve out entire city-sized chunks of rock, and reduce them to component elements and raw ore.

Communications with one of these planetcrackers, the USG Nishimura, have ceased while the ship is engaged in deep space mining operations.

The company’s top engineer, Isaac Clarke, is sent to discover the problem and fix it. Once onboard the vessel, Clarke discovers that a terrifying alien presence has taken over the ship, and has horribly killed the crew. Weaponless and terrified, this lone engineer is burdened with much more than simple survival-- he holds the fate of all mankind in his hands.

Excellent game, is true that those little sounds doesnt scare anymore but thats really later in the game.

12 chapters is great bung for your buck.

could have been great.. but the initial fear of every sound and flickering light vanishes once you figure out that nothing really follows it.. its only the same cheap scares over and over again ..although it has its moments the game is streched far to long .they should have left the whole "well you fixed this but guess whats broken now" kinda mechanic
