'SOMA' (ALL) Gets Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on May 29, 2015 @ 7:44 a.m. PDT

SOMA is a sci-fi horror game that will tackle unsettling questions about consciousness.

Something is happening in PATHOS-2. Communications have gone dark. Key personnel have gone missing or been declared dead in preceding weeks, and the machines are acting…strangely, almost human.

The aim with SOMA is to explore the unsettling aspects of subjects such as consciousness, identity and our very existence.


Here are three quick bits of trivia about the video:

  1. When the video starts we are about 1 hour into the game.
  2. The protagonist is not an amnesiac. He has an established past, knows who he is, but isn't at all sure about the situation he's in.
  3. There are lots more things to explore in this level than what's shown in the video. For instance, you can avoid the robot attack completely by acting differently.
