Asimov would be proud…

<span class="bold">SOMA</span>, a new take on horror from the creators of Amnesia, is now available for pre-orders with a 10% discount on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com



Frictional Games, the guys behind awesome horror series including Amnesia and Penumbra, are back for another shot of fear. But this time around, they're doing things differently. While at first glance SOMA is still a first person game with focus on exploration and a discomforting atmosphere - the real innovation lies in the creative process, and produces an end result that's so much different than the usual jump-scare fare.
Drawing inspiration from the works of Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick and Robert A. Heinlein. SOMA is a sci-fi horror game that relies on a finely crafted setting to ask the hard questions and tackle unique existentialist issues - deal with the idea of free will, subjective experience, and machine-consciousness. In SOMA, you'll experience tension through an unbelievable atmosphere and sound design, and discover the fascinating story through your own actions.



Don't scream, ponder the depths of existence. Pre-order <span class="bold">SOMA</span> today, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Too bad I can only play limited fps games. Got really nauseous playing this type of games. Played penumbra back then, not finished though, but a really great game. Atmosphere is amazing.

fishbaits: Totally get why you wouldn`t, but AAMFP wasn`t made by Frictional, only vetoed by them.

SirPrimalform: What do you think veto means? :S
DERP!

Was meant to type vetted.

That`s what I get for alt tabbing whilst queueing online battles ;p

Matruchus: The gameplay trailer was really awsome. though wasn't very understandable. <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general/preorder_soma_55da6/post16" class="link_arrow"></a></div> I think there's going to be a movie released with the game that acts as a prequel. Vivarium is part of its promotion as is [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eytOzwyfiCA]Mockingbird

Once again it's tempting.. pre-ordering a game that may or may not be good and may or may not be five minutes long with a massive 10% discount.
I think.. I'll wait though.

Thank you GOG! Not only do we get a very possible awesome game, but we get the same release date as Steam.

Haha, I figured you must have meant something else but I couldn't work out what!

Mockingbird was very interesting. Im still not quite sure what is really happening. Is it some alien machine copying human minds or something.

Very confident I'll enjoy this. Have liked all the Frictional stuff before, and I really like the move to sci-fi. Just waiting till next payday because I've met my game quota for this one.

Another Amnesia/Outlast/Alien Isolation clone? No thanks.

Ghostbreed: Another Amnesia/Outlast/Alien Isolation clone? No thanks.
That’s a curious word, considering SOMA is from the Amnesia developer. Would you call Fahrenheit a clone of Omikron: The Nomad Soul?
Posted August 26, 2015
Hopefully it's more interactive than Amnesia the Dark Descent.

Ganni1987: Just a note to our Linux friends, this game is being ported by Aaron of Knockout Games, the same guy who ported Shadow Warrior (new one) to Linux. His ports are very good and I'm expecting the same quality with this :D
Thanks for the info. I 'm glad it's a real port.
The Shadow Warrior linux port is indeed a great effort performance & stability wise.
I think I'm preordering this one.

Ihategog.com: preload?
Don't hold your breath for it. It has only occurred for Witcher 2 and 3.
