A copy of the book Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut by Andy Kelly. The illustration on the cover shows a blood trail in a dark sci-fi ventilation system. A device with a glowing green screen lies on the ground. Three tiny figures spacewalking outside a space station with a gas giant looming in the distance. Blood splatters on the floor and an ominous shadow. Someone watches through a vent as a figure brutally smashes the head of another figure into a wall.

Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut

- The story of Alien: Isolation's creation
- Deep dives into design, art, AI, and more
- Huge level-by-level analysis of the entire game
- Cut content and behind-the-scenes secrets
- New chapters, insights, and illustrations

Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut Your pulse quickens. The locker you’re hiding in feels as though it’s closing in on all sides, constricting. Perhaps you’re standing in your coffin. The Xenomorph slinks close, its eyeless visage inches from the locker and its wet breath mingling with your fear. You don’t dare swallow. The Xenomorph stands unflinching, curious, on the hunt. Teeth bared.

Hold your breath. Don't you dare... make... a... sound.

"Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut", the expanded analysis of Alien: Isolation, is now available for you to pre-order.

Really love the slightly abstracted posters/leaflets etc. you find throughout Cairn. I never want to see or hear about "AI placeholder text" for stuff like this when you can so easily just have some artful squiggles in place of the fine details!

And no Marco, you're not guilt-tripping me back down the mountain with your patronising "maybe you climb to escape having human relationships?" spiel. Goddamit, I'm reaching that summit! ⛰️

There's a much more compact, cheaper, accessible edition of Jacob's "How A Game Lives" out now, published by Harper Collins! Check your nearest big/mainstream bookstore - would love to see a photo if anyone catches it in the wild!

Great chat/interview - very interesting to hear all about your games media background prior to the *BIG "I DID A BOOK" ACHIEVEMENT* ! Although... to clarify for HR... at no point did I call you "Babe" or say "you really popped your pussy on that one [review]" 😆

Not currently, although we definitely plan to implement something like a release calendar soon!

Usually the ETA will be the next year, same quarter, so add 9-12 months on from the pre-order date. So Alan Wake will be Q3 next year ; Mouthwashing Q4, 2026, and so on.
