I think this is the best game yet by Frictional Games. But according to Steamspy, it has only sold 350k copies: http://steamspy.com/app/282140 . That's got to be a disappointment because Amnesia sold at least 10 times as many (I believe 3 million copies). SOMA is vastly superior to previous games in terms of storytelling, technical sophistication, and horror elements. Let's hope they have enough money left to make more games. In the increasingly crowded horror genre, Frictional has been making standout works. I look forward to playing 20 more games from them.
