Soma Full PC Game Overview

Soma Download Free Full Game is a science fiction survival horror video game developed by Frictional Games and released on 22 September 2015. The game takes place on an underwater remote research facility with machinery that begins to take human characteristics.

Gameplay

Soma is a survival horror video game played from a first-person perspective. The player will encounter a number of creatures, which will each embody an aspect of the game's themes. Soma primarily utilises elements of psychological horror instead of conventional scares found in most video games within the genre. Throughout the game, the player will find a large array of clues, such as notes and audio tapes, which builds atmosphere and furthers the plot. Similar to most titles by Frictional Games, there is no combat, and instead the player progresses through puzzle-solving, exploration and the use of stealth. Soma Free Download.

Plot

Setting

Soma takes place in an underwater research facility known as PATHOS-II. While the station itself is now in a state of disrepair, the player quickly establishes that PATHOS-II was a group of stations scattered around the North Atlantic ocean originally functioning as a «space gun», or more precisely, a mass driver, an installation designed to send objects into space without the hassle of building expensive rockets. Unexpectedly, the crew of PATHOS-II became the last people to exist on Earth after a comet impact caused a major extinction event. There, the last humans survive on a day-to-day basis, attempting to fight the negative effects of their collective isolation. During this period, the machines in PATHOS-II begin to develop human characteristics and a consciousness.

Story

In 2015, protagonist Simon Jarrett is involved in a car crash in Toronto that leaves him with severe brain damage. Due to his injuries, Simon agrees to an experimental brain scan. During the scan, Simon appears to black out, and regains consciousness in Site Upsilon of PATHOS-II, a seemingly-abandoned deep sea research facility in the Atlantic Ocean. Simon learns that he has awoken in the year 2104, and that one year prior, a massive comet impact devastated Earth's surface, leaving PATHOS-II as the last outpost of humanity. While exploring Upsilon, Simon remotely contacts someone named Catherine Chun, who instructs him to come to her location at Site Lambda. Soma Free Download PC Game.

Arriving at Site Lambda, Simon realizes that Catherine is not human, but a scan of a human downloaded to a storage unit. She reveals that Simon is a scan of the original 2015 Simon, which has been loaded into the modified body of a dead PATHOS-II employee. She tells Simon about the ARK, a computer that runs a simulated world containing scans of the station staff, which was created to ensure some version of humanity escapes the Earth. The ARK was never launched into space for reasons unknown to Catherine, as her scan was made before the attempt. Simon and Catherine begin searching for methods to reach the ARK, which is located deep within the ocean at Site Tau. Simon eventually settles on constructing a new body that can withstand the deep sea pressure. He is transferred into the body, and awakens realizing that his consciousness wasn't actually moved, but rather copied. Catherine explains that copying is the only process available while she quickly puts the old body to sleep, leaving the player with the choice to spare or end the old body's life.

Having descended to Site Tau with his new body, Simon retrieves the ARK and sends it to Site Phi, where the space gun is located. Simon eventually reaches Site Phi and loads the ARK into the space gun. Catherine promises to scan them into the ARK just before it launches. After the ARK launches, Simon and Catherine are still on PATHOS-II. Catherine explains again that she cannot transfer scans, only copy them. The player's Simon «lost the coin flip»; his and Catherine's copies are aboard the ARK while their current consciousness have been left behind on the station. The entire station powers down as a result of the space gun's activation, leaving Simon alone in the darkness.

In a post-credits scene, the version of Simon copied to the ARK, completely unaware of the other Simon left behind on PATHOS-II, wakes up in an idyllic landscape. Simon is reunited with Catherine in front of a futuristic island city. Meanwhile, it is shown that the ARK has successfully made it into space aboard a satellite as it leaves behind a devastated Earth. Soma for PC.

Development

Soma was in the making since 2010, beginning with the advancement of new technology for the game engine. Setting the game at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was an idea decided on a «whim» by Frictional Games co-founders Thomas Grip and Jens Nilsson, which Grip said they had wanted to try for a long time. The storytelling was designed to rely on the player's actions rather than serve as a guide for the player to adhere to, so as to allow those who ignore exposition material, such as audio logs and notes, to follow the plot. Soma's underlying theme is consciousness, and was developed in order to explore the nature of free will and the self. The game's atmosphere was inspired by the work of Philip K. Dick, China Miéville and Greg Egan.

Achieving a realistic sound to fit the mood required audio director Samuel Justice to utilise what he called «the room size system». Instead of processing sounds to make an effect possible, recordings were made of environments that complemented such needs, like the reverb of a large hall. With this system, over 2,000 footstep sounds were captured. Soma Download Torrent.
