soma : the new survival horror game

Soma is a science fiction survival horror game played from a first-person perspective.^[1] Thomas Grip of Frictional Games stated that the player would "encounter a number of strange creatures, each an embodiment of an aspect of our themes".^[1] The game primarily utilizes elements of psychological horror instead of conventional scares found in most video games within the genre. Throughout the game, the player will find a large array of clues, such as notes and audio tapes, which builds atmosphere and furthers the plot. As with most titles by Frictional Games, there is little-to-no combat, and instead the player progresses through puzzle-solving, exploration and the use of stealth.
