Leucius: Thinking about getting Soma. It looks good, but I haven't even touched Stasis yet : /
Admittedly I have anything but expert input, but for what it's worth, I don't play horror games in general, as I get too stressed out, and this happened in SOMA, but what struck me was how much the story impacted me. I was moved by what I saw while I played as far into it as I could manage, and was so engaged in the story that I wound up spending the next night finishing the game by way of a youtube "let's play (without commentary)" video. The story really hit me, and I have to admit I really wish the game was based on a book so that I could then have that to go read.
Can't speak for Stasis, or horror games in general, so my input is likely useless, but hey. :)
