And I am here,playing Amnesia the dark descent for a 1000th time,because I don't have enough money on my steam wallet.I will first wait for the reviews to come out and then buy it,just to make sure I am not wasting my money.

I just bought it straight away, judging from the screenshots and footage. It looks so god damn awesome in my opinion. And after these 5 years of development, i think Frictional Games more than deserves it. It looks awesome. I just hope that it will be at least a bit of an adventure. I don't want it to end to fast. Im prob gonna take my time exploring everything when playing it.
But well i trust FG so i preordered. Amnesia was pretty awesome and Soma looks even better. The hype was to strong :L

But 5 days ;_;
Soma plz

(Funny how Soma comes out at the season change from summer to fall.)

Yeah,I know it looks really good and it will probably be their best game.Honestly,I would preorder it right now,the only problem is that I have no money left Tongue

However ,when I finally do get the money,I will know for sure if the game is good or not.

What's a good way to kill time until the release?

**Romulator** · 09-16-2015, 10:53 PM

You could try playing a few custom stories from the showcase section.

Interesting tweet from Thomas:

I wonder if this means SOMA will come with an "official" walkthrough [Image: thinking.png]

Probably for reviewers. A month before AAMFP was released he wrote:

Oh, well I hope someone could crack it. At least can you give me some of the music?

Haha, best of luck trying to crack Steam encypted pre-load files.
In time, best of the best tried to find a workaround or a hole, but nothing was found. Feel free to bruteforce the key,though, should take you only few gazzilions centuries.
