Not sure if this has been shared but I figured it's looking pretty cool. It seems to be the next game from Frictional Games (the chaps that made the awesome Amnesia: The Dark Descent). Now we don't really get a lot of information from this teaser site that they've created however I do find the clips to be rather intriguing...what does it mean?



The clips:




I guess I was just feeling a bit down after Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and after seeing this I'm holding thumbs for something truly terrifying (and more interactive). Let's hold thumbs!

Haha...yeah I was hoping it would get up too and just ram her (no wait...that sounds sexual). Really keen to see what they have to show when these teasers all conclude with some (hopefully) real meat game details.

It's now finally unlocked - the next game from Frictional (Soma) now also has a gameplay teaser trailer...and it looks like Amnesia but with a sci-fi theme. It's coming to PC and PS4 in 2015 (damn that's a long wait).

I started playing it this evening and wowee, just like Amnesia it's not a game that you can play for too long at a time!

Care to elaborate? I've been keen on this title for a long time.

The game feels like a mix between Amnesia and Gone Home. Two titles that I really enjoyed.

It's very tense however. I find it too stressful to play for long periods of times. The same way that Amnesia makes you feel bad from playing it too long.

I'm only an hour in and so far it looks very interesting. I would only recommend it to people who like horror games similar to Amnesia, Outlast and in a milder way Alien: Isolation.

I finished the game last night and wow that ending is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The game itself could have been better. The sections with the monsters, where you have to hide and crawl around, could have been left out in my opinion. There's a wussy mode mod which I think makes the game better and is maybe worth it for people who still want to play the game and don't want to worry about dying. I played it normal mode and the monsters really feel unnecessary. Except for the ones in the water!

The story the game tells is really good however. It makes one think and the ending is one of the better endings I've seen in a game. It's truly something else.

I can definitely recommend it to those who would like to play something a little unsettling.
