SOMA is not a great video game, but as a tale of existential horror it's hard to beat.

It’s not very traditional in terms of gameplay but I think the interactive element enhances the story particularly the bit where ::: spoiler spoiler you jump from the og robot to the diving suit. ::: Idk something about having the agency to move around makes that hit a lot harder than it would be presented in a passive medium

Oh yeah as a walking sim it's fantastic. Just the hiding from monsters is tedious and boring. On the writing side I do wish Simon was less of an idiot and could contend with the philosophical side a bit better. He's just clueless the whole game.

Yeah

Didnt his original got into an accident and had brain damage? I assumed that had something to do with it.
