While we wait for its successor, fans of Alien: Isolation are probably wanting something to tide them over. Unbound Publishers looks to have just the thing with their companion book, Perfect Organism: An Alien: Isolation Companion. Set for release on August 8, and written by BBC News journalist and short film director Andy Kelly, Perfect Organism is currently up for pre-order at the Unbound Publishers website.
Perfect Organism combines original insight, extensive research and level-by-level analysis, and features original chapter illustrations from Jon McKellan, lead UI artist for Alien: Isolation. The book reveals to players the rationale and authenticity of the set design and art direction, as well as info about the alien’s unnerving abilities to second-guess the players and the importance of its unique height, the importance of the dynamic audio (which if you’ll remember, earned the game a BAFTA award) and the use of seventies archive soundbites, as well as the darkly beautiful music.
Add on top of that topics regarding the game’s deleted content, scenes and features that never made the final cut, and even going so far as to include biographies of every character, who they were, why they were on the station, and what happened to them.
While the option to get a signed hardcover version of Perfect Organism has sadly sold out, you still have the option to get a regular hardcover version, or an e-book version.
