SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an unsettling story about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human.
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.

Had a hard time figuring out where to go most of the time, and I guess I'm just not used to the sorts of puzzles this game was going for. Ended up using a guide to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do, but even when going the right direction the game just felt bland. Didn't feel scared by the robots, mostly just annoyed. I'm surprised to see this is like a 15-hour game (would probably be 20 for me), since that seems way too long for this sort of thing.

So I never picked SOMA back up after my last update 2 years ago. Maybe I should. Kinda feeling a horror thing...

I got to some part where a monster is chasing you through corridors and you have to take the perfect route back. Problem is, half of this game I was walking around lost, so I have NO IDEA what the correct route back was. After dying 6 times I just ALT-F4'd. Not sure if I'll load it up again.
