“If while watching #AlienRomulus, you see one of these (and there are many…) what do you think it means?” Alvarez posted to Twitter alongside a photo of a phone booth labeled “Emergency.” The phone booth is none other than the save point in Alien: Isolation.Eagle-eyed fans noticed itfor a brief moment in the new trailer, located off to the side as the main characters walk through a dark hallway.
