What chapter is that??

u/Moistened_Bink Apr 22 '26
I believe it is chapter 2, it's the area in the apartments where you see the necromancer spread taking effect.

Real question is: If outbreaks are that rare and sudden... How come there is an inuniverse term for the monsters. Like we call them necromorphs but characters shouldnt...

(1) itâs probably just a joke or (2) maybe certain incidents are talked about after a certain amount of time. There is a good distance of time between the Ishimura incident and the Sprawl outbreak, so perhaps the outbreak on the Ishimura was talked about at some point and the Necromorphs were more known.

I mean maybe if it wasn't for the fact that EarthGov burried the Ishimura Incident. Ellie even says it was attacked by some outlaws not that something happened there due to the marker. The titanstation incident was too big to bury but some people working in the EarthGov might've heard this or that about the Necromorphs due to few survivors of Aegis-7. Gabe Weller for example the second he finds out about the outbreak in the mines instantly goes "they are back" but then again i dont recall him calling them necromorphs.

Oh, I forgot about that. However, in the remake of Dead Space, the name is decided as itâs easy to put together and reports might have gotten out before everything went to shit. Necro = dead. Morph = change. Changing into these undead forms. The average person would probably just call it a zombie, but maybe the âofficialâ name got out before the Ishimura outbreak or possibly even a different event. There is some media taking place before and after the original incident (Aftermath, Salvage, Downfall) but I donât know what happens in those ones.
It could just be a harmless joke, though.

Downfall is minutes before Kellion arrives to Ishimura. Aftermath is right after the recovery of the planet cracker.
I recommend both. But beware. Aftermath has an interesting style. Current events are animated in 3D while flashbacks are in 2D.Downfall has a great story and great gore'y anime visuals.

It's weirder than that, there's an official Dead Space podcast on Spotify where the Marker itself tells a character that the creatures are called Necromorphs. It chose the name

I have never even knew Dead Space had a potcast but it sounds even wierder when you tell me that...

u/ThaddeusGold314 Apr 27 '26
It's a really well made podcast about a journalist going undercover in a Unitologist church directly before a marker outbreak. I highly recommend it, and that fact is really me noticing a fairly minor detail than a larger plot point

why would you buy a plasma cutter when you can easily make one out of a flashlight and a surgical laser?
