Step into the space suit of Isaac Clarke, an engineer sent to check a communication problem on the deep-space mining ship, the USS Ishimura. As soon as he arrives, everything is wrong. The crew of a thousand people is gone. The ship is in terrible shape, so you must repair it as you go along. And worst of all, nasty aliens await you around every corner in this sci-fi horror game.

Find and buy new weapons and tools, upgrade your suit, and carefully take out your enemies - you'll need to go for arms, legs, and other things before taking them down for good.
