Dead Space is a survival horror game set in, duh, space. The lighting and sound design is pretty darn creepy, unless you make the mistake of playing it like a game instead of going with the narrative flow–when I’d back-track to pick up some supplies or something, I realized that all the super-creepy sounds and lights were triggered by my passage through specific areas, rather like a fun house. That took something out of the spookiness.
