The bad news is: it's an Artifact of Attraction and an Artifact of Death that causes everyone nearby to go violently insane, and reanimates its surrounding corpses into horrifically mutated Necromorphs, which seek out and kill everyone nearby in gruesome ways. It produces a seemingly-endless electromagnetic field that scientists hope to harness. The good news is: they found such a source in the Marker, a giant double-helix alien monolith discovered in the ashes of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. However, all this progress comes with a cost: Earth is an ecological ruin, and humanity has turned into a race of Planet Looters, smashing apart entire planets for their raw materials, and conducting as much research as possible into new sources of renewable energy. The series takes place in the future, where humanity has become technologically advanced and colonized space. Dead Space is a Third-Person Science Fiction Survival Horror video game series developed by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores) and published by Electronic Arts.
