Yeah she had a disconnect point. Her screaming and pleading as you take it out are really quite horrible.

Know what movie this is really reminding me of?The Prestige. The idea of cloned consciousnesses and what being a person really is. Very interesting.

Finished.

Hard to what to say really. Gameplay wise it's really not that different from Amnesia (the meagre amount I managed to play) and yes, I'd say it's not as scary. There were a few tense scenes but they rapidly became annoying, forcing you to work on a puzzle while being hunted by a shrieking Beastie. By far the most disturbing moments came from the story which has some genuinely chilling stuff going on. The ending is pitch perfect on this front and I'm already finding myself running it over and over in my head, trying to grasp the situation it presents... Poor Simon MkII. His anger and jealousy at his newly copied self was horrifying in its own way, and desperately sad. Even seeing Simon MkIII on the ARK was nullified by the final fade out of the ruined Earth.

SOMA definitely feels like the game BioShock Infinite wanted to be, at least in a narrative sense. It tackles it's themes far better than that bloated mess however, and left me feeling genuinely taken aback as a result.

This is part of Humble Monthly.

Yeah it's a great story which has stayed with me.

Well this a great cure constipation. Even if your not constipated.
Loved it so far, save for one massively difficult bit where I was getting horribly disorientated leading to me having to replay said bit about 8 times.
Loved the start as well. One of the best ever. Reminded me of Half Life.
