Schofield Tools is a canonical company within the Dead Space universe, but it's also a direct reference to Glenn Schofield, one of the original creators of the 2008 game and a key figure in the series launch to survival horror stardom. When zoomed in, you'll be able to see the words Schofield Tools printed across the barrel of the gun. Reading each first letter, that spells out NICOLE IS DEAD, teasing the very final twist of the game, where Isaac discovers that Nicole took her own life prior to Isaac boarding the Ishimura.Īlthough it's practically impossible to see when navigating the halls of the Ishimura, there is a fun returning easter egg printed across the side of your plasma cutter. The first letter of every chapter name can be arranged into a hidden message, although this is one that entirely spoils the main twist of the game, so be wary of spoilers ahead.

One that makes a return from the original Dead Space, after you've beat the game, take a look at the 12 chapter titles, as they've all been picked for a very specific reason. Within Storage Container 2, you'll find the log, which is titled 'Thank you, Isaac'. When in Mining, head down to the fourth floor and look through the nearby storage containers. This short message can actually be found as a log during Dead Space Remake's Nicole-focused side mission, Scientific Methods, with the log showing us Nicole's side of the message. Nicole remarks that she keeps forgetting the time difference, waking Isaac up in the middle of the night when she calls. As those who've played the sequel might remember, Dead Space 2 opens with Isaac and Nicole having a brief video call.
