I am so late to this, but I wrote and directed NKS leading a very, very talented team we assembled and amazing partners with EA. It's one of the highlights of my career and changed my life in a lot of ways. I have a really good memory so if anybody has any questions about the production, the story, the making of, I'm here for it, AMA style. Cannot say enough about what Andrew Green, Ben Swanson, Chuck Beaver, Jaap Tuinman, Daniel Shaw, Vanessa Montes, Ian Schafer, Anson Jew and the Deep Focus creatives did to make this into a reality back in the day. THREE HAPPY SPACEMEN.
Ten years I looked for this TEN YEARS I looked for videos of no known survivors, of anyone talking about the stories at least but nothing, hardly anyone at all even knew what this was, the site was taken down and unfortunately no record of it remained. I do want to thank you good sir you have completed this chapter for me this is all I could have asked for you have made my quest for deadspace lore whole. Can't thank you enough for this video and all the research you did on this.
No known survivors feels surreal to read about. Dead Space 1 in general feels so strange looking back on it with where the series went. I got this feeling that between 1 and 2 there was a massive story shift that happened. Since it seemed like the original plot was setting up Isaacs dad disappearing to be important, but it got dropped. No Known Survivors also is great because more insight into what actually happened moment to moment during the Aegis 7 incident is great. Maybe with the remake coming out, they’ll revive no known survivors.
I kind of wish they stuck to a more unexplained story type deal rather than the Brotheren Moons escalation. We also never got an explanation on what happens to Lexine Weller or who those guys with mind exploding powers who were not attacked by the necromorphs were in the DLC.
Issacs dad disappeared in the first game? Was that in a comic? I could have sworn I looked over every inch of the original game as a teen and remember nothing of that. Honestly hope it turned out that he faked his death. They do have cloning and his files are still classified. Would make for an interesting 2 remake or ds4
I wonder if someday we'll get to see the whole no known survivors media recovered from someone who worked on this website or as "remake" done, I just love the lore build-up and the depth of the characters.
i would love love love if the remake would either redo this event in more detail or INCLUDE these events as audio/video log side quests in the remake. i remember no known survivors actually is what sold me on dead space, and its so tragic that i cant go back to it
I remember downloading the prequel motion comics on my PlayStation 3 with really slow internet. I honestly can’t remember if that’s what got me into dead space. Wish I had the chance to play No Known Survivors
Okay, I've tried to make the versions that were stored in the Wayback Machine work with virtual machines but no luck. The "data" of the No Known Survivors is there but the Flash Player can't run it because there is no Actionscript 3 content or anything. Props to British for getting the footage to make this lore gem video. Who knows, maybe in the future if EA Motive hears about it and release it...
Probably the only game series that I ever truly got hyped for. By the time Deadspace was in the player's hand we already had a pretty good idea of what was going on, now it was up to us/Isaac to get through it. They did an amazing job with world building
Man, no known survivors was amazing. Between that website/game and the Dead Space prequel comic (starring Abraham Neumann, both as a paper comic and animated videos on PS3/X360, you can watch it here on youtube as well), it made me an ultra fan of Dead Space before the game even came out. I played No Known Surviors, and I'm really surprised there isn't more info about it still after all these years. I wonder if my old PC hard drive (which I should still have in storage) still has the original flash files or anything I collected in my browser cache, since there was such a heavy cryptography element to the game (No Known Survivors)... 3 Happy Spacemen is still such a haunting song that loops in my mind from time to time. When you talk about the "scores" and the top scorers, this was actually a very crowdsourced facet of No Known Survivors. You see, each week, there were puzzles on No Known Survivors which actually employed Cryptography, and back then there were message boards and websites where players of No Known Survivors were collectively trying to figure out the answers. I remember one of the puzzles was completely in Semaphore, for example. All of these puzzles which generated the scores (I can't recall parameters, iirc speed of solving within the week e.g. higher score for person solving on Day 1 vs Day 6 or 7). It was remarkable to see the community back then of people trying to solve these together. I also recall a lot of people who weren't gamers, but were into Cryptography, they even got involved because the puzzles were simply amazing from a Cryptography standpoint. Morse code was another type of puzzle employed. The difficulty was actually very challenging. The actual website started very "sane", and each week the floating Necro "limb" on the "homepage" would evolve or allow you to explore different parts (e.g. week one let you click on a necro foot, then next week the thigh, etc. and ultimately iirc [vague] by the final week the home page was a fully dismembered "basic" necromorph, where you can revisit the pages for the previous weeks to re-watch the footage or revisit the lore provided). The first story about the stalker and the woman's finger, for example, the "hub" of that Episode's page was his office/room and I remember just her finger in like, a medical cabinet (like a fridge), and the 3rd or 4th week had that finger evolve and become more necromorph, growing little tentacles from the dismembered part. The stories of the 2 episodes fascinated me greatly. If you see the black and white picture posted in the video above, the full picture of that (IGN still has an archive of that image), you'll see some red severed fingers drawn onto her medical record - that was one of the puzzles (each medical record had a different amount of fingers in different positions of each medical record which combined to a message)! I'm going to bookmark this video, and you can find me on Twitter under the same username (Shadow_Enz) if you happen to re-upload or do any more vids or want to ask questions. If I happen to eventually get to those old hard drives from that old PC, I'll come back to this video and comment again/try to contact the author of this video if I can recover any data. I do recall back then I used to love exporting flash files and SWF objects to be able to re-watch flash animations offline on-demand. I'm not sure if I did this for No Known Survivors (I can't remember), but I was absolutely infatuated with the experience, so it's possible. For Episode 2, the hub area was from inside that shuttle or satellite or comms station (it was NOT the Valor, 100%, it was a tiny vessel like a remote comms relay or shuttle) where the 3 "spacemen" (I'm actually listening to this video as I type this in the background) were located, with 1 planted by the CEC to protect the Ishimura's mission and prevent information being sent back to snitch on the CEC/Ishimura - those religious nuts. I realize now a lot of what I typed may have been in the video above, and praise this video since it was very well done given the limited data available. No Known Survivors was one of my greatest experiences as a gamer from a community standpoint, since it was just awesome to see so many people come together to solve those Cryptograms and get so invested into Dead Space, which at the time was so reminiscent of Event Horizon (the horror movie). Thanks so much for putting this video together. I've been hungry to find more people who can remember No Known Survivors since so many people from back then were involved - did the CEC get them? Where did they disappear to (I imagine at the time many of the Cryptography experts were probably as old I am now or older so may just not use the internet/social media in the same way). I'm going to continue my hunt, as it seems this video sparked a reddit thread with more of those archive org images of the medical records and perhaps one day we can piece our memories together of the experience.
If you are lucky and got the files of the No Known Survivors backed up in your old HDD then this would change everything, converting this lost media into a public media once more but I doubt it might even work because most of the files and resources might be from the old servers that maybe not be running anymore. Unless you also managed to download those files as well lol.
I actually remember that website. I had no idea what it was at the time but I remember seeing the side scrolling, circular select screen of floating necromorph limbs. “3 Happy Space Men” is still a song that pops up in my head from time to time.
I wrote Three Happy Spacemen. When we were recording the little girl singing wouldn't stop pretending she was a frog and hopping around. It made me insane. Eventually we got a good take. We gave her a bunch of M&M's and she eventually got it right.
Wait I remember the first story! It was like a single room, where you could interact with objects and read a lot. There were traditional dead space noises everywhere and after some time the room became much more messy, with clear marker influence - whispers and signs everywhere. Was quite atmosperic as the character became more and more insane. Don't remember the second story al that much. I guess I was too scared to continue at that time to experience that one.
@Mister Majestic It’s a random computer announcement- not something you can truly find. If you hear it closely it sounds like whispers. You can find it on RUclips.
I've been a Dead Space fan for years and never even knew about this. It's things like this that gets me all excited or mind-blown. Hidden/forgotten content is awesome.
Love that your slowly becoming the klayton fioriti. One guy who can delve into all of dead space. But from one fan to another. Whats the one thing you dont like about dead space or thought was misshandled in the franshies. Personally the the love triangle in dead space 3 was kind of a mess lol
I remember going to the page in highschool. It was creepy. My volume didn’t work in the computer lab so I missed out on a lot but I remember the shadow man in the vent and the fingers
Oh wow, good job researching this. I remember playing it years ago and I once brought it up with friends. Seems I was the only one that remembered/had played this. Glad to know I wasn't suffering from some marker dementia or something and it did happen lol. I always swore I had screenshots of the whole thing saved, but they were on a hard drive that died....
my biggest question is, who the hell is singing that creepy freaking version of twinkle, twinkle ? i replayed the first dead space game and finished it last night and that one level where mercer finally dies, you stand in this area and all you hear is someone singing that song. but, no one is around.
@@TheBritishRunner but, for who ? that damn song was even used as the promo in all the commercials for the game. so, who is singing it in the game ? cause you can hear it in the vents all over that area. that would be something worth looking into.
@@TheBritishRunner who know, it's in that area where you get off the tram and the place looks like some kind of chapel with everyone dead has got their faces bandaged up and there are candles everywhere in the area's lower floor section.
There's actually very rare physical copies of no known survivors for both the Xbox and PS3. They were prizes. Whoever got them did a shit job sharing them with the internet
Huh, never heard about this part of DS' lore.. With that said. Man, George have worse luck than Isaac. Your GF break up via text, then die a horrible death while dealing with hallucinations? F for George
In Dead Space 1, if you listen closely you can hear medical report(?) whispers talking about Jane Gauthier. I always wondered about those... Also, tysm for all the research that went into this TBR!! It's a shame the website is down now, r.i.p. No Known Survivors is interesting. o7
Don't forget that no known survivors also had a contest attached to it. So its no surprise people didn't share all their findings as that may have compromised their ability to win.
Can someone remind me, why USG Ishimura when to Aegis 7 even though is a violation to be there or the 3 Space Men did not know they are being order to be there? Please help, been long time.
TL;DR: Everything that happened on Aegis 7 and the Ishimura in Dead Space 1 happened 100 years ago and the government and church hid it. So from what I read. People have been on Aegis 7 waaaay before the Ishimura which is how they found the marker there. Shit hit the fan due to the marker effects etc, so they buried the marker and locked up any evidence of ever being there and put it off limits due to what happened. No one knew why it was off limits except for the church and earth gov. Now fast forward 100 years later I think? The Ishimura was sent there on a mining mission by the church to recover the marker. Only the captain and key personnel knew the reason they were there, everyone else did not, they figured it was a normal mining mission. If you watch Dead Soace downfall you’ll notice one of the miners comment on how it looked like someone was there before them, and it looked like the excavation was done by older model equipment that has been long obsolete.
@@SovietTricycle Okay but one of the 3 Space Men say "They are violating for being there" So question, do they not know the Ishimura be there or Ishimura didn't know they are not allowed to be there?
@@marcosguzman7858 The Ishimura and the CEC knew that Aegis VII was restricted when they were sent out. Characters in game mention this being known but the idea is that basically CEC chose to anyway, after reports came in on how resource rich Aegis VII was, it being blacklisted didn’t matter anymore. Especially since CEC didn’t know about the initial marker tests 100+ years ago, that was earthgov’s buried project. So they set up a new colony and started mining…
@@SovietTricycle the marker wasn't found there, it was built, all the old manmade stuff was from that old facility and the place was blacklisted by Sovereign Colonies which Earthgov seemingly kept in place but likely not to the same degree of restriction
What’s the in-game explanation for certain areas of space being off-limits to the public in the first place? In episode two they talk about the Ishimura orbiting aegis 7 breaking like 20 laws. So it must not be unusual to be told you’re not allowed to go to various areas in space. The government telling people they can’t go to the middle of nowhere, where there is nothing to do and no one to see anyway, for no apparent reason, doesn’t really make sense.
The laws were put in place by the sovereign colonies that later fell at the end of the succession war period, to further cover up the red markers existence after realising what they are and what the end goal was. The earth rebellion becomes earth gov and takes control of all of the sovereign territories. They would most likely of overlooked the restrictions placed. But indeed earth gov did tug at the strings of the CEC.
Thank you very much sharing this I did not know about this this was going I love bees that is so cool what is USG stand for keep on the good word with your Dead Space content
I tried to reply with a link but I think it automatically got taken down. I found it on photobucket, through this guy's blog, linked in the kotaku article ''No Known Survivors Takes Dead Space's Narrative To The Web''. You have to use the waybackmachine to access the blog.
👾👾👾 Thanks ever so much for uploading this👍🏻🙏🏻😅😄, I've been a Deadspace fan since the beginning & I never knew about this game either... I adored the main three games + mobile game & the animated movies... I've always been 'luke-warm' at best to the novels & other games... 👾 May Altman bless you my fellow Unitologist 🙏🏻👾👾👾
It would be fun to get it back with the remake, just to know how it looks like. I personaly got into Dead Space not long after NKS was shut down... And already information was scarce. I heard it mentioned over the years, and as my love for the franchise grew so did my jelousy that I wasn't there to experience it :p
I am so late to this, but I wrote and directed NKS leading a very, very talented team we assembled and amazing partners with EA.

What was your favourite episode of the series you made and what gave you the ideas for the story

I’ve been saying it for a few months now…. This guy has filled an immense hole in the YT game lore community!!! His work is invaluable
Well. You can rest now, my man
You were made whole
I remember when Dead Space came out. I don’t recall any advertisement for this website at all

Well it was retconned in the remake with Isaac’s mom, Octavia I believe(?), killed the dad and then herself.
I thought i made this up as a kid, holy crap...watching this feels like watching a ghost from my past.
I wonder if someday we'll get to see the whole no known survivors media recovered from someone who worked on this website or as "remake" done, I just love the lore build-up and the depth of the characters.
I like your logo looks so cool
I'll give it a try...
That be cool. Hopefully the remake will give the opportunity to show more Dead Space Content.
Given that they're remaking the dead space game hopefully they could do this again
I had all the files back in 2011 EA sent them back to me, but they're long gone now, I think. I'll keep looking.
It's always a shame when things don't get preserved or archived. It was nice to see some it survived in some form.
It's possibly on the way back machine. I just checked, it needs a flash plugin
I remember playing this. It had 3d models and a storyline
Noice
3D models? Was it bad dated looking or actually holds up?
@@itsblitz4437 straight from the game. They had necromorph body parts as icons

Can someone remind me, why USG Ishimura when to Aegis 7 even though is a violation to be there or the 3 Space Men did not know they are being order to be there?

TL;DR: Everything that happened on Aegis 7 and the Ishimura in Dead Space 1 happened 100 years ago and the government and church hid it.
So from what I read. People have been on Aegis 7 waaaay before the Ishimura which is how they found the marker there.

No one knew why it was off limits except for the church and earth gov. Now fast forward 100 years later I think? The Ishimura was sent there on a mining mission by the church to recover the marker. Only the captain and key personnel knew the reason they were there, everyone else did not, they figured it was a normal mining mission. If you watch Dead Soace downfall you’ll notice one of the miners comment on how it looked like someone was there before them, and it looked like the excavation was done by older model equipment that has been long obsolete.
Hope this helps. May not be 100% accurate but this is on memory and fandom page.
@@SovietTricycle Okay but one of the 3 Space Men say "They are violating for being there"
So question, do they not know the Ishimura be there or Ishimura didn't know they are not allowed to be there?
@@marcosguzman7858 The Ishimura and the CEC knew that Aegis VII was restricted when they were sent out. Characters in game mention this being known but the idea is that basically CEC chose to anyway, after reports came in on how resource rich Aegis VII was, it being blacklisted didn’t matter anymore. Especially since CEC didn’t know about the initial marker tests 100+ years ago, that was earthgov’s buried project. So they set up a new colony and started mining…
@@SovietTricycle the marker wasn't found there, it was built, all the old manmade stuff was from that old facility and the place was blacklisted by Sovereign Colonies which Earthgov seemingly kept in place but likely not to the same degree of restriction
this is great. very disturbing piece of lore. keep up the good work, sir. Earthgov is proud.
What’s the in-game explanation for certain areas of space being off-limits to the public in the first place? In episode two they talk about the Ishimura orbiting aegis 7 breaking like 20 laws. So it must not be unusual to be told you’re not allowed to go to various areas in space.
The government telling people they can’t go to the middle of nowhere, where there is nothing to do and no one to see anyway, for no apparent reason, doesn’t really make sense.
The laws were put in place by the sovereign colonies that later fell at the end of the succession war period, to further cover up the red markers existence after realising what they are and what the end goal was. The earth rebellion becomes earth gov and takes control of all of the sovereign territories. They would most likely of overlooked the restrictions placed. But indeed earth gov did tug at the strings of the CEC.
Didn't even know this existed! Been a Dead Space fan since day 1 though!
I missed the website for this content when it came out
Thank you very much sharing this I did not know about this this was going I love bees that is so cool what is USG stand for keep on the good word with your Dead Space content
Anyone have a photo of the helmet grand prize? Saw a GameFAQs thread that talked about the winner (he posted there) but no known photo of the helmet.
I tried to reply with a link but I think it automatically got taken down. I found it on photobucket, through this guy's blog, linked in the kotaku article ''No Known Survivors Takes Dead Space's Narrative To The Web''. You have to use the waybackmachine to access the blog.
👾👾👾 Thanks ever so much for uploading this👍🏻🙏🏻😅😄, I've been a Deadspace fan since the beginning & I never knew about this game either... I adored the main three games + mobile game & the animated movies... I've always been 'luke-warm' at best to the novels & other games... 👾 May Altman bless you my fellow Unitologist 🙏🏻👾👾👾
Its recorded on the wayback machine but you need flash to do anything on it & we have no flash
I’m interested. Can you try using Ruffle or something?
@@G-nb6mb Maybe You can try I have no idea what ruffle is. I guess if you work it out you might be able to run it.
ive played this flash. i hardly knew what was going on with it tho
It would be fun to get it back with the remake, just to know how it looks like. I personaly got into Dead Space not long after NKS was shut down...
And already information was scarce. I heard it mentioned over the years, and as my love for the franchise grew so did my jelousy that I wasn't there to experience it :p
I’m currently playing dead space 3 getting all collectables and this vid pops up
OMG I completely forgot about this!
I tried using the way back machine to see this however it needs flash to play.
That "3 happy spacemen" drawing and chant is disturbing af.........
Aw how unfortunate
*remember that my SO has like 2TB of flash games and access to the largest flash archive*
And now I have a project
Is their a way to add a flash player to the archived file for No Known Survivors?
@@alexandher_6969 I imagine there is. I’m not the tech side of this I’m just better at combining through archives
Hey not gonna lie, we found out who picked up that distress beacon from the Ishimura
If sold to a company for unemployed, that means the story stopped and was sent to train individuals in that product respective fields.

Nice song and drawings, Sally...
I was 6 when Dead Space started, so I couldn't really participate in the pre release
Sure u could u would have just had insane necromorph nightmares for a few (many) years 😂
Fun fact: No Known Survivors gets referenced in the Dead Space Salvage comic
Where?
@@TheBritishRunner when Chang shows up he name-drops a covert listening post that went dark, he’s talking about the Three Happy Spacemen
@@TheBritishRunner also Chang himself is Gavin’s contact in No Known Survivors if I remember right
@@Xenomrph Hmm yeah I can see the connection. And yes Chang is the commander.
@@TheBritishRunner glad I could expand your knowledge :)
Nice
Interesting, I can't find my previous comments to this video 😥
Sorry to hear that
@@TheBritishRunner I'm going to re-post it.
@@Shadow_Enz_Media ok
I've tried this, but never finished it. I guess my dislike for point&click was stronger than my love for Dead Space
That's dope
Is there an official dead space discord server????
Yep!! Here's a permanent invite link! :D

This 💩 is really scary and Disturbing
Yesss bro finally (2nd time)
Alissa was Cute as Fahk. More Badass than Isaac.
i cant believe these eathrthgov wasted their resources on ishimura and the mine for a stupid replica ark as experiment?
This sounds a lot like a precursor to the Analog Horror trend and I LOVE IT.
