By now most of us have played through Dead Space and found it to be a very good visceral action game if not at all that scary. I for one found something scary in that game and that's our slow road down depravity. We all took this road some of us sooner than others and some of us didn't even think we did or ignored it completely. As we progress through the game we see the necromorphs transform our deceased colleagues corpses into mindless enraged killing machines right in front of our very eyes. And that's when we make our downturn we immediately start speculating that every body that we see might just be another necromorph waiting to happen. And so we take drastic measures to try and ensure our safety.

We start dismembering almost every body that we see in hopes of preventing a necromorph from happening. We can move along and leave the bodies alone you may sacrifice a slight feeling of safety but we at least remain human. But no we, with our own safety in mind, walk up to the deceased and dismember them. But we don't stop to think about what we are doing we just kill those, possibly, defenseless bodies and we do it with exactness we let no limb go unbroken. This act is made even worse by Issac's utter lack of speech or personality as he solemnly tears off his colleagues limbs there's no hesitation or hastening of the breath just sheer unmitigated butchering.

In the end are you no better than the necromorphs while they resurrect the dead for their own device you annihilate all of those who you might've known and are now deceased just to feel a little bit safer. In doing so we become a monstrosity and all of it just for one little inkling of safety. And that fact that test of our humanity is what makes Dead Space a little more scarier than usual.
