Visceral Games has been diligent about coming up with fan service content for Dead Space, including a prequel to the original game and a full-length animated movie. Keeping with that tradition, Visceral announced on their Facebook page today that pre-orders of Dead Space 2 will include a free download code for Dead Space Ignition, an interactive digital graphic novel that includes some “choose your own adventure” features as well as some quick minigames. No bookmarking the page you just left in case the decision you made turns out in a way you don’t like, you cheaters. You know who you are.  Ah, hell, I know we all did that.

Ignition follows the stories of two engineers on the city-sized space station called The Sprawl as they attempt to contain an outbreak of the shambling, deconstructed zombies with spikey appendages, affectionately known as Necromorphs. The player’s decisions will lead to four different possible endings, and completion will unlock some Dead Space 2 content, including a few usable items and a new look for main character Isaac.

Dead Space Ignition will be available for download tomorrow on PSN and Wednesday on XBLA. Consider your appetite officially whetted, although you’ll have to wait a few months for the main course; Dead Space 2 doesn’t launch until January 25th.
