The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Chrysler]

I must confess, when I saw the first SOMA gameplay teaser where the protagonist awakes in an unknown environment, my first thought was "Wow, this looks and feels exactly like Amnesia". As we know, that scene was created specifically for the teaser so it isn't directly from the game, yet I was a bit disappointed because I was hoping for some more substantial evolution of the game mechanics and overall look and feel. On the other hand, it's great they are not abandoning all the stuff that their first games became famous for (physics, interaction model, focus on storytelling), and from later teasers we have seen they do have changed quite a bit in SOMA (e.g. removal of inventory).
