Maybe it's like the Firefly Universe, where the 2 superpowers of the US and China united, and so their cultures intermingled?

International Station, maybe. Space? I don't think so, actually.
I mean, you won't want to transport things like that in rockets.
Also there would be no gravity if that was the case.
Artificial gravity.
Do you even Sci fi? haha.
And there's a looooooooong relationship between sci fi horror and finding dangerous stuff in space and putting it in the ship you're piloting (the Alien series comes to mind).

Oh come on. Space stations is such an old cliche is Sci-Fi, nobody likes them anymore. Yeah, the dangerous aliens and deadly space-viruses too.
To be fair, I don't even know what can serve as an original plot-device in Sci-Fi setting...

A portal to Hell on Mars, maybe
So is robots/A.I going rogue but they're still doing that, so lol.
Plus her attire is very spacy. I am 80% sure it takes place in a ship or a station of sorts.

Well watching just the video it was pretty interesting, at first I thought it was just showing her she was going to die, and that it was a reality warping computer or something, then I watched the video again, and noticed she seems to come back to life on the screen, so I'm really wondering what's happening.
Of course we still know next to nothing about the game, but this is pretty interesting.
Of course right afterwards I saw a link to a trailer for a game called "Routine" that I am getting incredibly hyped for after just the one trailer (I watched it about twenty times yesterday and had a dream about it last night.) so for now I'm more interested in that, and the new Godzilla movie (Since the 2012 trailer was just leaked.) but I will definitely be periodically checking the SOMA game website for more.

Obligatory spoiler tags for image post.
Spoiler below!
The screen "generates" what it's showing, assembling it from several objects.
What's more it does so from the angle of the camera we're looking through, calling into question how much of what we saw can be trusted.
Either it's accurate and there's an "it" that under certain circumstances needs to be contained or we're being lied to and not only is everything I said in the first place still true, but things are considerably worse on top of that.
