Quite unlike Dead Space, the atmosphere of the Orpheon is almost painfully quiet and there are few enemies at all, and all of them go down without much of a fight.It's like something straight out of Dead Space! It's dark, most of the machinery is short-circuited or on fire, there are dozens of corpses everywhere of mutilated and mutated wildlife and the Space Pirates who were slaughtered by them, and the music doesn't even have the decency to not be incredibly creepy. But by the time you get inside, you're treated to an utter nightmare: almost everything on the ship has been massacred. There's no music or life outside, or even any signs of damage, just you and a billion stars, so you don't know what to expect. After an epic opening, your first task is exploring a derelict Space Pirate ship.


While not overtly scary, the strange beeping that opens the song is sure to make anyone feel at least a little uneasy. The very first thing that happens when you boot up the game is this menu music.The first game works wonders with this approach, and since that's the one it starts out with. Something sinister lurks in the depths of planet Tallon IV.ĭespite being marketed as a Sci-Fi First Person Adventure, the entire Metroid Prime trilogy has so much Nightmare Fuel that they might as well add "Horror" to the list of genres it lies within.
