Dead Space fans, here is something for you today. A team of indie developers is currently working on a sci-fi horror game in Unreal Engine 4 that aims to be a spiritual successor to Dead Space, called Negative Atmosphere.
Negative Atmosphere is a third-person game, with an emphasis on horror mechanics and high tension fluid combat gameplay, and has been under development for around five months.
The team is using Patreon in order to build an one hour vertical slice of the game / demo, which will be released for free prior to a Kickstarter campaign. With the Kickstarter campaign, the team hope to completely fund so that it can offer 7+ hours of gameplay with an exceptional level of polish and detail.
Right now there isn’t any release date as the project is still in a pre-alpha stage. Still, the team aims to complete the game’s demo and release it sometime in 2019.
Below you can find the first screenshots for Negative Atmosphere.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
Calvin Parsons got in touch with us and shared some up to date screenshots for Negative Atmosphere (as well as three short gameplay videos) that you can find below.
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Looking forward to this haha
I dont know whats hard to somebody take Dead spaces idea, dissasembling monsters in pieces, put it on some alien planet with few cinematic sequences , half open world and bam, we have new hit, and nobody will complain for ripoff!
This is what happens when a game with a fanbase gets aborted; it opens up opportunity for others to take the baton.
Doesn’t matter. We won’t be seeing another dead space anyway. Personally i would very like to see DS franchise being rebooted though not under EA this time.
Getting really tired of these amateur developers who are only capable of near rip off work instead of being original enough to come up with their own truly unique turn on a sci-fi horror game.
Then get off your armchair developer soap box and create one, otherwise zip it and appreciate what we have and what is to come.
I don’t have to as a consumer. I get to sit around and say if a developer is a ripoff or capable of creating unique artistic choices or overall themes for the game they’re potentially selling me at some point.
I don’t have to appreciate this void of creativity if I don’t want to. You can, however, cry more about it.
Lmao I wasn’t the one crying you were which is why I politely told you to shut it but whatever, you do you.
John – 8k for You 😉
Radeon VII has some punch after all 😀

Curious in what ways it will be inspired by.
how insightful
Using Patreon to crowdfund a demo! Now there’s a sure-fire way to create a…
…negative atmosphere. GTFO.
Also, they’d better ensure the demo features ‘the right kind of politics’ because we know how spineless Patreon is when enough SJWs complain.
this is a straight ripoff, nah nah we don’t want that, i don’t want dead space clone, i don’t want anything looking like dead space that ain’t from visceral team, if they don’t change it up, i think EA will be cracking down on them real soon
Thanks for wasting my time with click bait.
‘The team is using Patreon in order to build an one hour vertical slice of the game / demo’
I give $1 a month on Patreon to it and plan to back the Kickstarter so long as the Linux support holds true.
This comment section is full of toxic wanna be developers with complaints and criticism but no talent for it themselves.
Sounds promising, but let’s see what the demo or first trailer at least looks like. I’m definitely intrigued
Hi DSOGaming and commenters, we are the developers of Negative Atmosphere.
Firstly,
I’d like to state that the images you see here are out of date and the
majority of assets shown are no longer in the product, I do not know where DSOGaming acquired these images from as they were removed from our official channels
Here are some more up to date images and videos, showing the project as we wanted it to be presented by the media.

We would also like to affirm you that the lighting in these images is dark as they are set in the maintenance areas of the ship, more images will be released soon that show much brighter scenes.
We appreciate all the feedback here greatly(whether it is positive or not) and we look forward to you playing the demo when we release it for free, mid-2019.
