Story

AI-assisted summary

Set in the 26th century, you play starship engineer Isaac Clarke. He travels with the crew of the repair vessel USG Kellion, sent to the USG Ishimura, a massive mining ship operated by the Concordance Extraction Corporation that has fallen silent in orbit over Aegis VII. Isaac’s partner, senior medical officer Nicole Brennan, is missing somewhere on board. The Kellion’s other people include computer contractor Kendra Daniels, security chief Zach Hammond, corporal Aiden Chen, and helmsman Hailey Johnston. After a docking malfunction, they crash onto the Ishimura and find it overrun by Necromorphs, monsters made from mutated human corpses. The group is separated. Armed with engineering tools, Isaac has to survive, look for Nicole and his crewmates, and learn why the ship was lost, while his sanity begins to crack.

Full story (spoilers)

A docking failure crash-lands the Kellion on the Ishimura. Johnston stays behind while Isaac, Kendra, Hammond, and Chen search. Necromorphs kill Chen and split the group. They wreck the Kellion’s singularity core; the craft explodes and Johnston dies. Hammond ejects a mutated Chen in a pod. Kendra learns the ship held a find from the planet. Isaac meets Nicole and Cross, who is trying to kill the Leviathan. A Marker Kyne brought aboard drove colonists and crew mad. Mercer wants it on Earth to begin Convergence and make people Necromorphs. Temple’s beacon calls the USM Valor, which takes Chen’s pod, falls under the Marker, and rams the Ishimura. They take a core for a shuttle and learn the Valor must destroy the Ishimura. Chen attacks and Hammond dies killing him. Isaac escapes the Valor’s destruction. Kyne persuades them to return the Marker to Aegis VII. Mercer kills Temple, then growths crush Mercer. Kendra kills Kyne and admits she is an agent after a failed alien device exposed by illegal mining. Isaac and supposed Nicole reach the surface. They set the Marker down, but Kendra steals it and says Nicole killed herself; the ally is Cross, and the Marker used both to reach the Hive Mind. Cross dies refusing to help. The Hive Mind kills Kendra; Isaac destroys it, leaves the Marker, and flees as the payload hits the planet. A hostile Nicole hallucination attacks him. New Game Plus instead has him discuss building something new amid Marker writing in the shuttle.
