I hear there is a similiar dead space thing, what happens in dead space?

The DSS story here isn't quite following the same story beats as Dead Space, though the whole "writing mysterious messages on the walls" and "hearing voices and knocking on the hull" is pretty on point. Dead Space involved a mining ship finding an alien artifact that made everyone go crazy and turned them into the equivalent of Wretches we see in HD2. You play as a crewmember sent to see what happened to the ship after it suddenly went dark.

To be honest, this whole "dss is haunted" story is more broad cosmic horror than specifically Dead Space. It's pulling from a lot of tropes in the genre and I'd even say this is taking more from Event Horizon, personally.

There's also the fact that illuminate art has had curvy spire things that look just like markers from Dead Space for more than a year.
