In 2011, IronMonkey Studios, with the participation of Visceral Games, released mobile Dead Space with a standalone story preceding the events of Dead Space 2. In September 2015, EA discontinued support for the game, after which it disappeared from the App Store and Google Play.
11 years later, a developer under the nickname GINESTRO brought the game back to life by releasing Dead Space Reanimated — an unofficial updated version for modern Android devices.
The author did not touch the plot or gameplay, but improved the resolution of environment and character textures, redesigned the interface, and added 60 FPS support. The developer also restored reload sounds, adjusted camera sensitivity, fixed the operation of touch buttons on large screens, and ensured support for foldable smartphones.
