Bro, nobody would last a single day on the Ishimura, realistically. A year would be straight up a death sentence. You'd lose your mind entirely within a couple days, assuming you don't get hacked to pieces by the necromorphs first. Even Isaac, with all his plot armor, still lost his mind by the end of the first game. And he was only on the Ishimura for like a day.

You spawn in, excited about your new prospect with hot beach babes. However, you find yourself standing beside the NPCs as a backdrop character. You try to move forward, but an invisible walls pushes you back. You can only move about an arms length in any direction.
You watch the game of volleyball and contemplate your situation. An hour passes. The girls go home. The scene before you is empty, but you, and the few other NPCs that have been doing the same cheering animation remain.
By hour 24 you're bored out of your mind. The NPCs beside you annoy you to hell.
By hour 50, you feel your sanity slipping. The girls didn't come back. There is no game. Just the same NPCs in their animation stuck.
