Initial SOMA concept

[Noisecode]

I'll add to this as Frictional might find the feedback useful/interesting:

I too felt it odd that nothing like the 'debut' trailer was in the game, which, apart from the live-action stuff, was all I watched.

In the live-action 'vivarium' video we see Imogen 'simulated' in the machine and killed; this freaks her out. My expectation was that we would see evil machines that did things like this. SOMA doesn't have a particularly prevalent evil though like Penumbra did (Clarence) or Amnesia (Agrippa, Justine). I might write more about this in another post.

I'm pretty much with you on this....I was expecting a little more gore / and .........well, to use your word prevalent evil. There was some body horror (some very impressive body horror;

Spoiler below!

Amy with the bio-mechanical lungs being a good example... quite grotesque).

but for the most part I think Soma was more suspenseful than it was horror. I still had a great time... but i agree; the end result was different from the original teaser.

And not to correct you, but Didn't Imogen start out dead and then come back to life in the Vivarium short?
