The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[iBobaFett]

Yeah, I absolutely love all the possibilities to where this could go and what it all means. I'm a huge Philip K. Dick fan too, so Frictional earned extra brownie points there. I did like the idea from a few pages back that came from a YouTube comment. The one about the Vivarium computer "giving birth" to Reed, which would make sense given that the name of the video is "Vivarium" which is defined as "a place, especially an indoor enclosure, for keeping and raising living animals and plants under natural conditions for observation or research."

Really excited to see more, this is my most anticipated ...thing.. right now. I've been waiting for a good SciFi horror game forever! Though I'd be happy seeing these videos turn into a miniseries or movie.

On a side note, anyone have any good SciFi horror stories (CreepyPasta didn't come up with anything I could find) that are like SOMA at all? Or any movies? Only horror movies in space that I've seen are the Alien series (of course!), John Carpenter's The THING (not in space, but it works), and Event Horizon, at least as far as I can remember. I like the idea of a space station or ship as the location with these normal engineers, not "armed to the teeth space marines" or something. SOMA might not actually take place in space for all we know, but you get the point.

Edit:
Just remembered a few space horror films I've seen:
Pandorum, Apollo 18, (the god awful) Ghosts of Mars, the Dead Space animated movies, the disappointing DOOM film adaption, and Prometheus. Might still be forgetting one or two.
