This week and last, Frictional Games began teasing a brand new sci-fi game. Two trailers were released, each showing unsettling footage of robots acting strangely. It seemed, in keeping with the teaser site, that Frictional was set to tease the sport for weeks. Today, however, the developer has officially unveiled Soma.
Soma may be another horror game from Frictional, that is best-often called the developer behind the well-liked Amnesia indie horror games. It will likely be coming to PlayStation 4 and PC sometime in 2015.
Players will tackle the role of a standard person trapped in a “nightmarish” sci-fi world. Like previous Frictional games, gamers should use their wits to outlive, instead of shoot everything in sight.
Thomas Grip, the creative director at Frictional, revealed a piece more concerning the game over at Sony’s PlayStation blog. He calls Soma a “proper” sci-fi game wherein the topics of consciousness and free will are explored through unfamiliar beings and settings, in addition to unsettling machines. From the blog post:
The subject that SOMA will discuss is consciousness. Personally, i locate it the foremost profound questions that it’s possible to invite. “How can the sensation of subjective experience arise from a piece of flesh?” Exploring this further takes us to questions together with “Can machines be conscious?” and “Do we have now free will?” It quickly gets very disturbing, and is perfect for a futuristic horror setting. It’s the sort of sci-fi that we wish to make.
The first trailer for the sport shows exactly what Grip is regarding. Technology, brains, blood, death, and unfeeling machines combine to make the sport feel very unsettling:
