Alien: Isolation runs on an entirely new engine that was built from scratch by the Creative Assembly. The new engine allowed the development team to accommodate technical aspects like the game's atmospheric and lighting effects as well as the alien's behavioural design.
Isolation Units are the basic elements of an Isolation System which are intended to provide the decoupling effect. Isolation Components are the connections between Isolation Units and their parts having no decoupling effect of their own. Initial implementation of the new technology coincided with the romantic era of earthquake engineering and public relations associated with the dreams of beating the quake (see below).
