SOMA is a first-person sci-fi horror experience developed and published by Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Set in an underwater research facility known as PATHOS-II, the game follows Simon Jarrett, who awakens after a mysterious brain scan to find himself trapped in a decaying world filled with hostile machines and unsettling secrets. Rather than focusing purely on jump scares, SOMA builds psychological tension through atmosphere, storytelling, and philosophical themes about consciousness, identity, and what it means to be human.
Players explore dark corridors, solve environmental puzzles, and avoid terrifying creatures while uncovering the fate of humanity. The haunting sound design and detailed environments create an immersive and emotionally powerful narrative. With minimal combat and a strong emphasis on story, SOMA delivers a thought-provoking horror adventure that lingers long after the credits roll.
