One of my favorite story adventure games ever and also cool that it's partly based in Toronto which is rare to see in video games. I'd recommend playing it on "safe mode" where you don't have to worry about the enemy stealth encounters, just kick back and enjoy the awesome story. If you enjoy dark sci-fi content like Black Mirror I can't recommend this enough.

Yeah, I was surprised to see a reference to YorkU in the prologue level.

Happy customer of Fido and Tangerine 😃

Thanks very much OP and those that have given mini-reviews: like to support smaller developers and this is a no-brainer.

There is no god. But it still feels good to be kind to people, animals, and the environment, so keep doing that.

Great game, amazing price. If you like sci-fi / survivor horror themed titles you will not be disappointed. The storyline is something else and left me thinking for quite sometime after finishing the game.

After SOMA, I stumbled across Tacoma and Prey (2017) which are in a similar vein but both great games in their own rights. IMO great follow ups to SOMA if you are looking the scratch that itch.

Soma will make you truly feel and experience some of the scary stuff you may have seen in Black Mirror. One of the most thought provoking games, it's been years since I've played and I still remember everything that happened.

Even though the concept is something you may have already read or seen in scifi, the storytelling and presentation is done perfectly in SOMA and this idea is perfect for the gaming medium.

Great game and price.

Stories like this have been done but not in a game, which makes it more impactful imo.

It's not a walking simulator. It's an existential crisis simulator.

Thanks to everyone for the review and OP. My bro loves horror games. Am going to gift this to him.

On a different note though, I've never really understood how people can sleep at night after watching horror movies or games. I can't close my eyes for ten seconds.
