The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Paddy™]

But, according to the press reviews during last Spring when they were playing the demo of SOMA, most were saying they weren't that scared when playing it. So, not good news for us.

I just re-read/re-watched all of the previews, and the one thing for which there seems to be some consensus is that SOMA is as tense and scary as Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Only one previewer had a negative reaction to the game as a whole, and everyone else praised the atmosphere even whilst criticising other aspects of the game, such as the voice acting for Simon. For a brief demo of a slow-burn game showcased in a hotel room at a busy games conference, I think these reactions are very encouraging.

Over 6 months ago they not publish new screenshots, information, or new videos of SOMA.

Here are some new images Frictional have published over the last couple of months:
