Developer Frictional Games (of the Amnesia series) has revealed its next title, titled“SOMA”. The new horror experience is due to release on the PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015:
Strange occurrences are disrupting the routines of the PATHOS-2 research facility. The radio is silent. Behavioral anomalies of the machines are increasingly dangerous, if not… malevolent. The facility is devolving into chaos. No weapons, and the only escape is practically unthinkable.
From Frictional Games, creators of the groundbreaking Amnesia and Penumbra series, SOMA is an aberrant tale of scientific inquiry and survival; an entropic exploration of synapse and circuit that wades through the delusions of human consciousness.
SOMA has been “three years in the making,” according to Frictional Games. Players can expect “a unique continuation of Frictional Games’ signature style of explorative horror, provocative storytelling, and unfathomable tension, free of distractive cut-scenes and combat.”
A gameplay teaser trailer was released as well:
Not sure what’s going on in this footage but I want to see more! I love horror games, but one that focuses less on killing creatures and more on exploration and atmosphere sounds fantastic. It’s a growing trend and it’s absolutely a welcome one.
