It looks nice but the stuff I have seen makes it look a bit questionable. We'll see when it is released though.

amrit9037: Are those reviews trust worthy?

Cypisss: If you don't trust those reviews I am pretty sure you'll trust mine :)

I have just finished SOMA and for me it's one of the best games ever made in terms of storytelling and maturity of its subject matter. And you don't even have to be a huge fan of horror games to enjoy it (I'm not). It's a hard sci-fi story that is more or less on par with novels by Phillip K. Dick or movies by David Cronenberg. It's scary as hell but it's intellectually challenging at the same time.

[ totally not getting a sales bonus for that :) ]
Thank you for honest review.
I will buy it once it get on sale.

The mentions of Phillip K. Dick and Cronenberg, the high review scores and the possibility of a bit more intelligent psychological science fiction and horror, opposed to the more standard type horror of Amnesia has me more interested than I was.

I just watched The Fly, I f**king love The Fly.

Smannesman: For some reason this kind of grosses me out.
Well, from what I've seen it does have a healthy dose of Cronenbergian body horror, so I think that's probably what they were aiming for.

Who's IGN? :3
Oh right a company that does reviews and gets paid for it... which is better than individual reviews, for some reason.
I guess I'm repeating what you just said, in a broader sense lol!
