The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[GrAVit]

A new article by PCGamer, concerning SOMA and how difficult its development process was for the developers when trying to get away from the Amnesia-style gameplay and story development, as well as some talk about audio logs in SOMA.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the game has changed since our April 2014 hands-on, in which audio logs activated by clicking on dead bodies were actually quite common, and also distracting: As previewer Samuel Roberts wrote, "They were overcooked, let down by recordings that I'm hoping are temporary or unfinished. Soma was far more effective when it let me piece together its story without people talking over it." That sounds like it's in line with Frictional's vision, and I hope the studio is able to achieve it.
