With photo-realistic visuals on par with P.T., and an environment lovingly crafted to really pull players into the retrofuturism universe, it resulted in one of the scariest video games of all time. What made it such a tense experience was the way in which the alien creature did not follow a set path, but instead was given learning capabilities. This meant the creature was unpredictable as well as deadly. Making it impossible to kill, and giving it vents to crawl through, meant gamers had no choice but to creep and hide around the space station, unsure of when the enemy would strike.

If that sounds hard enough as it is, get ready for five times the terror. As reported by PCGamesN, user Vyr0511 has created a mod for Alien: Isolation that adds five Xenomorphs to the game. Simply called “AlienS Isolation,” players will not only take on more of the titular animals, which all have improved AI and faster reactions times, but will also go up against the Working Joe robots, which can now run. Looking at the list of what’s in store in this “true nightmare” mode really paints a picture of the intensity that awaits. A note on the mod page even says that this setting can actually be frustrating, with playthroughs relying on a lot of luck.

This is also not the first time someone has decided to turn the difficulty up to 11. Another Alien: Isolation mod increases the Xenomorph’s sensitivity, but it does also give the player some advantages, such as making the flamethrower using fuel at a decreased rate. This particular modification, made by a user called Jeff Cat, is mainly intended for speedrunners, whereas Vyr0511’s is for those more sadistic players who really want a challenge.

Sadly, the world has yet to see an Alien: Isolation 2, which is a shame as no other Alien game has come to close to what Creative Assembly released eight years ago. Whether a sequel will ever emerge is pure speculation at this point, but hopefully the studio will return to this much loved, and feared, horror game.

Alien: Isolation is available now for Mobile, PC, PS3, PS4, Switch, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
