Ask Anything About SOMA

[Thomas]

Okay, I'll be serious this time. My question:

How linear is the exploration in SOMA? Will the exploration be the same as it was in Amnesia: The Dark Descent? Or will it go for a more metroidvania style approach. I wanted to ask that because I noticed the game has a form of tram system, and I wanted to know if that means the game won't be like the usual format where you go through levels, hub area, and repeat.

The game is divided into levels. Some are fairly small and linear and others are huge and sprawling, the size of hub + connected levels in our previous games. The structure is very similar to our previous game, the main difference being you cannot go back n forth between levels. But that is made up for by making certain levels much, much bigger than we have previously had.
