Things turn deadly this week on the Ishimura, as Dead Space’s NoKnownSurvivors.com wraps up the fourth chapter in Misplaced Affection, and we’d love it if you could give NKS some editorial support. In this tragic animated conclusion, witness Greggs losing his mind over Gauthier’s detached fingers, as CECL-RC plays an archived transmission from better times. In two weeks when they kick off the second content track at NKS, “13: A Friend Is A Present You Give Yourself”. September 29th will bring a story of betrayal, violence, and murder set in the Ishimura’s TUB. Content Track 1 – Misplaced Affection
Summary: Users take on the POV of a psychologically deteriorating Greggs in his Ishimura lab where they learn about his successful but uneven, and eventually tragic courtship of Gauthier. Users also learn about the planetcracking of Aegis 7, the Red Marker and life on the Ishimura via voiceover logs, animated/video content and artifacts.
1.1 - premiered: Users can review six Replacement Organ Request Forms that contain animation and stories of dismemberment from Aegis 7 workers, one of whom is Jane Gauthier. Users also access the CECL-RC Risk Assessment feature which tells them the chance of survival aboard the Ishimura and details Greggs and Gauthier’s history. At the CECL-RC, users can listen to ‘patient consultation audio logs’ between Greggs and recently injured workers. This chapter will also be the first time that users see Gauthier’s three fingers in the cylinder.
1.2 - premiered: In the early stages of this chapter, the cylinder containing Gauthier’s fingers falls and shatters on the floor as Greggs slips deeper into his state of dementia. Gauthier’s organ replacement form now has ‘I LOVE U’ smeared across it in blood. Gregg’s file cabinet unlocks and the user is able to view an interactive staff guide to attractions aboard the Ishimura.
1.3 - premiered: In this chapter the user can view the frame around the vid pic which shows an animated depiction of a date between Greggs and Gauthier. The user can also access a Genealogy and Background Report on Gauthier which not only gives insight into her background, but also give a sense of Earth history by peeking into the different generations of Gauthier’s family.
1.4 PREMIERED MONDAY, SEPT. 15th: Something violent is now primed to break through the lab entrance door at any moment as Greggs continues to lose his mind. CECL-RC plays an archived transmission video from Gauthier in which she tells Greggs she appreciates his kindness, but is not looking for a relationship. As this plays, the camera turns to the doctor for the first time. The Necromorph now breaks through the door and that’s all she wrote for Greggs.

About The Hub: NoKnownSurvivors.com is an evocative, experiential site that allows visitors to explore the narrative world of EA's new survival horror game, DEAD SPACE. Over nine weeks, the site employs interactive components, 3D animations, voice acting, original video and Papervision 3D technology to tell two equally tragic four chapter stories. The first, "Misplaced Affection", tells the story of an organ replacement technician who falls hard for a capable female security officer. The second, "13", brings us tale of a sleeper agent who makes the wrong decisions for the right reasons. It all goes down at "The Hub". With two stories, eight chapters and an intermission unfolding over nine weeks, NoKnownSurvivors.com has a multitude of exciting, immersive content. The "hub" manages all of it. A vast cosmic deathscape, the hub features 9 severed body parts, with each one representing a content release. How will visitors know which content is live? The week before a content piece goes live, its assigned body part begins to mutate, finally evolving in to a mature necromorph part (necromorphs are re-animated, mutated corpses of fallen crew members). Each Monday (it started August 25th) a new necromorph part will be live and clickable, ready for visitors to dive deep into the content featured on NoKnownSurvivors. LINK THIS ARTICLE             |
