This is most definitely one for the survival horror fans.
SOMA is a survival horror title from Frictional Games, the creators of the popular Amnesia: The Dark Descent. SOMA will chill you right down to the bone with an unsettling story about identity, consciousness and what makes us human. The underwater facility PATHOS-II, situated in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, is deserted, and with your radio dead and food supply reaching non-existence, you better be making some tough decisions to ensure you get through the game in one piece as well as determine the fate of the aquatic station. Oh, and the machines are starting to see themselves as humans.
All the threats you will be facing on PATHOS-II, including mental robots, corrupted humans and an omnipresent AI will pose you a difficult choice: outsmart them or get your running boots on – there won’t be any fighting back. Be prepared to hunt down the last remaining inhabitants of the underwater base and seek out clues to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the events that have caused this chaos.
With dark environments surrounding your every move, some creepy enemies to get the better of and a bone-chilling story, SOMA is now available from the Microsoft Store for £23.99. A perfect 10/10 on Steam doesn’t lie…
Game Description:
The radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to think they are people. Underwater facility PATHOS-II has suffered an intolerable isolation and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. What can be done? What makes sense? What is left to fight for? Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I. You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.
