Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

How do they rate on trainability and intelligence vs cats and dogs?

First they came for our patch then they came for our balls

The poor man’s ketamine, isn’t it?
