Rara Rocora Finishes Chapter 8 of Dead Space, Four Chapters From the End

V4MIRAI — Rara Rocora of V4Mirai (4th Gen Voltail) finished chapter 8 of Dead Space on Thursday, a stream that ran just over three and a half hours. Before signing off she said four chapters remained, and that she would play more of the game the next day.

The stream opened with a costume rather than a game. Rocora showed a new outfit built around the stream’s “throwback Thursday” theme, complete with glasses, and spent the first half hour in character, joking that she was not evil all the time, running a bit about her own hygiene and trading remarks about Minecraft and Crazy Frog with chat. She turned to Dead Space around the 40-minute mark, saying the game took about three hours for two chapters and that nearly everyone in her generation had already played it on stream.

The game itself rattled her. She said she was terrified of enclosed spaces, groaned at every elevator ride and joked that the title was missing only gambling as she agonized over upgrades for the ripper and plasma cutter, never feeling confident in any weapon. She admitted she had never played Dead Space before. Chapter 7 ended around the two-and-a-half-hour mark, after she planted an SOS beacon on an asteroid, worked through a long maintenance sequence and fought off a run of enemies on a low supply of ammunition.

Chapter 8 centered on the ship’s communications array. After repairing the transmitter, she shot the Leviathan off the array with manually aimed cannons, a section she had to attempt several times as the cannons were destroyed one after another. A broadcast to the rescue ship USM Valor followed, then a spacewalk that ended with her character aboard the Valor.

She greeted a raid from the Hexolytes during the stream, and chat spent much of the evening reacting to the outfit and the game’s scares. She ended by saying she had to leave and that the next stream would bring more space.
