There’s no question that Dead Space is one of the all-time greatest survival horror games, and one passionate fan has made a playable PS1 throwback that you can try for free.
On Monday, indie game developer Fraser Brumley released an unofficial Dead Space Demake. It’s essentially a ‘what if’ project that imagines what Dead Space would’ve looked like had it come out in 1998 for the original PlayStation – complete with the lovely texture warping and jaggy 3D models that were so prevalent during that era.
Check out the launch trailer for Dead Space Demake below to see what it looks like in motion. In our opinion, the folks at EA Motive should be giving Brumley a job – because this looks phenomenal.

If you want to try Dead Space Demake out, it’s available for free download on itch.io – every computer from the last 15 years or so should have no problem running this, so don’t worry too much about system requirements.
There have been several brilliant ‘demake’ projects over the past few years, including those for Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and God of War Ragnarok. It’s rare that these are playable, though – so major props to Brumley for getting Dead Space Demake out there for everyone to try.
