The Concourse was a two-story shopping mall located in the heart of the Sprawl. Isaac Clarke passed through this area during the events of 2511.
Overview[]
First Floor[]
On the first floor there were eight outlet stores: Worch, a workshop equipped with a Bench; the Unitology Resource Center; UHU, a holographic erotica shop and media bar; a hair salon called Bold Stylings; The Beauty of Real Wood, which was a showroom of genuine wooden furniture; Fit Meter, an exercise equipment store and gymnasium; Levitations, a Zero-G bed and furniture store; and a Lightspeed Energy Bar stand.[1] Isaac encountered a great deal of Pack Necromorphs in this area.
Second Floor[]
On the second floor there were seven outlets: Trixie's and Lemon Gun, which were two different candy stores; Collisto, an ice cream parlor; Fashion Kid, a children's clothing store; and Toy-Toy, a toy store that selled limited-edition USG Ishimura models (with Benjamin Mathius action figures sold separately). Two places on this floor did not respond when selected on the guide, and instead showed static, with Error Code 7673ebhjjh22233d2 as their name. Also, screams that sounded suspiciously like those of the Guardian and Brute forms could be heard. It was more than likely that either these locations were infected by Corruption and that there were some very nasty surprises for Isaac had he reached them. Opposite the elevator to the first floor was the Titan Elementary School, where Isaac first encountered Crawlers. [1]
Trivia[]
- At one end of the main Concourse floor is a revolving statue of "Lightspeed Boy", the mascot of Lightspeed Energy Bars, which can be seen from either story. An easy Achievement or Trophy can be gained by shooting off its limbs with a Plasma Cutter or other weapon.
- One of the bulletin boards in Titan Station Elementary advertises a play with a student in an insect costume. Its title, "The Metamorphosis" is a direct reference to the Franz Kafka short story of the same name. The plot concerns a work obsessed salesman who one day awakens to find that he has become a beetle, eerily akin to the Necromorph infection.
- The Concourse also serves as a multiplayer map for Dead Space 2, and is part of the Outbreak Map Pack.[2]
