A big part of every successful horror game is the sound design, so it’s not surprising to see that Frictional Games has been working hard to get its upcoming underwater chiller SOMA sounding just right.
Lots of reverb, lots of ominous honking, it’s set to be just as tense and foreboding as Frictional’s previous game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Here’s a new plot synopsis for SOMA:
“Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I.”
The game’s also been made available to pre-order through GOG.com and Steam. There’s a 10% pre-order discount until September 22.
