The bad news is: it's an Artifact of Attraction and an Artifact of Death that causes everyone nearby to go insane and start murdering each other, then re-animates the corpses into Necromorphs, which seek out and kill everyone nearby in horrific and gruesome ways.Įvery story in the franchise involves a Necromorph outbreak in a closed environment, and the characters who try to survive it. It produces a seemingly-endless electromagnetic field that scientists hope to harness. The good news is: they found such a source in the " Black Marker", a giant double-helix monolith discovered in the ashes of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. However, all this progress comes with a cost: Earth is an ecological ruin, and humanity has turned into a race of Planet Looters, smashing apart entire planets for their raw materials, and conducting as much research as possible into new sources of renewable energy.
