Well... it cant be a movie. Its definitly some sort of extra art with testdemos and videos. Im know everything as alwys.

Until you open the rar file, you cannot be sure of what is in there. Just because in the past, there contained artwork, concepts and a few other small things, does not mean those exacts things will also be in the SOMA's secret rar file.

Its still encrypting!!! ARG.

I want it KNOW!

There ARE supersecret.rar file
Weights 773 mb. What could be inside?

I posted my guess here.

I concur with your assement.

here is why:

Spoiler below!

That HAS to be the movie. Grip has neither confirmed nor denied it's existence, despite rumors to the contrary, the release date of the film is the same as the game...............and there is no way its just concept art crammed in there at almost 800 mb.

it requires a password. so probably by finishing the game?

if Frictional has hidden the movie in as a bonus to finishing the game, they will become my new favorite developer.

Also given the nature of the movie being a prequel, it would necessitate finishing the game as the film would most certainly spoil the plot.

I found the first code snippet for the .rar. It's very early in the game.

Spoiler below!

It's in the office, where you have to enter the code. Look there where a part of the ceiling is missing.

What this guy said...........

I'm having trouble visualizing 800 mb of concept art...

A certain film that was (and possibly is) released today. Well gee............ that might be that size.

Anyone else has this weird insane stuttering at the beginning of each level? It seems like the game is loading some stuff in the background (pretty heavy I/O activity in resource monitor) and FPS counter starts to jump in +/-1 range inducing very annoying performance stutter. I'm curious if it just my HDD is close to death and choking on hundreds of SOma's request for small files or anyone else have this issue too?

Have fun with this one everyone
