The SOMA gameplay trailer looks so good we might be afraid to actually play the upcoming title. #Frictionalgames creators of the groundbreaking Amnesia and Penumbra series, were showing off a public demo of their upcoming sci-fi #horror game at E3 2015 PC Gaming Show. Check it out:
“SOMA is a slow burn experience with a primary focus on the exploration of high-level concepts. Trying to showcase this is very different from showing off a game that is about exploring an environment or one that’s focused on a set of core mechanics – in those sort of games it’s much easier to find a short segment that serves as a good example. But for SOMA, that sort of segment really doesn’t exist. SOMA is designed to carefully introduce the player to a variety of concepts and to ease the player into a certain kind of atmosphere and state of mind.”
“This showcases the player’s first encounter with a type of creature that roams this part of the game, and gives some hints on how to best deal with them,” Thomas Grip writes in the Frictional Games blog.
The blog post goes into full detail on Frictional games showcase gameplay at E3 2015.
“And while SOMA doesn’t focus on “run from monsters”, it is a horror game and we are very much intending to induce terror in our players.”
SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games coming to Linux, Windows PC, and PS4 on September 22, 2015.
