The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

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.

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.

Well no image is showing up for me, but I gathered as much from the previous discussions earlier in the topic (After seeing the video I read through all previous posts to see what I could find about the game.) I just hope it's not like you get to the end of the game and then it's like "Oh yeah the entire thing was in your crazy character's mind and none of it actually happened." I guess that would be ok, but I prefer when things are actually supposed to be happening.

It also sort of reminds me Serial Experiments Lain (And a bunch of other Cyberpunk things.) with the huge mass of wires, cords, and cables coming off the monitor thing.
