Ask Anything About SOMA

A question for anyone to answer - but what happens if you kill the helpful robot instead of the delusional one before you get on the zeppelin?

In game:

I watched a let's play by someone who killed K8 (I couldn't kill it because at that point I considered it my companion just like Catherine), and you get different dialogue lines. Simon tells Catherine which robot he chose, and she says something like "Oh nooo, those robots are so cute!", but then she starts laughing and adds "Don't worry... they're dumb as rocks!". Also, K8 seems to require more shocks than the delusional robot in order to kill it -- including one last shock after the poor little fellow has already fallen on the seabed. Frictional Games: you guys were mean here. ;_;

In real life:

Your significant other will be extremely sad and disappointed, and will attempt to make you feel guilty about it by any means possible.
