Soma overview

About the game

Soma is a first-person survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic future. Thanks to the rich experience of the Frictional Games, the authors masterfully work with atmosphere and psychological tension, which makes the game feel extremely realistic and draws the player into the plot.

Story

You take on the role of Simon Jarrett, who suddenly finds himself in an unknown and dangerous environment after a car accident that damages his brain. Gradually, he reveals the truth about himself and the world around him, while the game asks deep questions about human consciousness, identity and the meaning of existence. The story is linear and strongly focused on atmosphere and storytelling.

Gameplay

Soma focuses on exploring the environment, solving puzzles and building tension instead of direct combat. This approach allows you to focus on the psychological aspect of the game and an intense horror experience. Thanks to the closed story, the developers have full control over the pace and emotions they want to evoke in the player.

Technical state

Using a custom game engine, the developers have managed to create a detailed and realistic world full of interactive elements. The combination of graphics, sound design and lighting work creates an oppressive and captivating atmosphere that makes Soma a unique psychological horror.
