SOMA, Frictional Games’ next survival horror game, has become available for pre-purchase today. The game is retailing at $29.99 but on a 10% discount sale for pre-orders on both Steam and GOG.
The sci-fi horror romp through an underwater research facility was an absolute joy to play when I sat down with it and played three hours. In my preview, I wrote “I believe Frictional will once again bestow upon the horror genre a gem like they did with Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I had only but a taste of what SOMA has to offer, and I’m hungry for more.”
Frictional Games has also released a Behind the Music video diary of SOMA composer Mikko Tarmia and how he produced the game’s sound. Check it out if you’re interested in how creepy music is made.
