The Sprawl (Dead Space 2)
The Sprawl is a better home to live in compared to the USG Ishimura of the original Dead Space, no doubt about that. Unlike the “planetcracker” starship of the original game, the Sprawl served as a home for dozens, if not hundreds of lives, complete with a school for the kids. And for a while, you could trick or treat there in peace. People would actually give you candy.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take terribly long for the place to become infested with Necromorphs and for bodies to start dropping, before mutating and shambling around. It’s hard to want to put on a costume and go from door to door asking for candy when your former neighbor is hiding in the vents waiting to tear your arm off and turn your head into a blood fountain. The dark lights and dead silence help set the atmosphere, for sure, but there has to be a way to do that without there also being a horde of zombie children running for your legs. Don’t let them get your candy!
