Ask Anything About SOMA

[Thomas]

Question:
1) Is it more enjoyable with a standard mice-and-keyboard setup, or with a joystick?
2) Is it possible to play SOMA well even with a MacBook Air with a HD3000 and 380MB VideoRAM? Is there any performance difference between the Win version and the OS X version?
3) You said that VR isn't delivered "at launch"; but is there any chance to have it implemented in the game later, (maybe with a significant update)?
4) Is there a book, which we can read before SOMA's launch, that could "prepare" us and put us in the same (or a similar) atmosphere of the game?
Thanks in advance.

1) That is 100% personal preference. The only unique feature with gamepad is rumble which can be quite nice.
2) Yes, it is possible, but you are at the lower end of the systems we support. So settings need to be on lowest and there might be some slight changes graphically. Should be playable though. Mac/Linux is same as Windows apart from missing editors.
3) See previous answer.
4) A few examples: The Mind's I, The Ego Tunnel, Blindsight, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Super Intelligence.
