When your first games are Amnesia and Penumbra you have pretty big shoes to fill. Frictional Games is filling those shoes with the terror that is SOMA. From the trailers they’ve posted previously they look to be on the right track. We know there are robots and we know those robots think they are people but not just anyone they think they are people you know and have some of their memories as well. Yeah, that right there is a reason to play SOMA with all the lights on. Bring your wet suit because SOMA’s brand of underwater horror is coming to PC and PlayStation 4 tomorrow September 22nd 2015. Also if you really want to know about the technical side of sound design head on over to their blog here they have a really cool feature on capturing the insanity of being underwater.

We Are Not All That We Seem – SOMA Story Trailer
What does it really mean to be human? Are we bound to the flesh of our bodies, or do we simply inhabit them? Coming September 22nd to PC and PS4, SOMA is an unsettling journey into the depths of human consciousness.

The radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to think they are people. Underwater facility PATHOS-II has suffered an intolerable isolation and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. What can be done? What makes sense? What is left to fight for?
From Frictional Games, creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, SOMA is a sci-fi horror game that questions our concepts of identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human.
