Thread: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread
Post: RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread
| Just a note about the Depth casting call:
Spoiler below!
Golaski's 13-year-old daughter is apparently " in love with her father". I wonder if that means we'll see some one-sided incestuous... |

Post: RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

| I'd actually be inclined to agree. Besides the idea of giving the player an actual body (which Outlast has done, and far older games have also implemented), it would also be good if the flashbacks in... |

Thread: What do you hope to see and not see in SOMA?
Post: RE: What do you hope to see and not see in SOMA?
| Trespasser is an infamous example of where the ambition to intricately simulate the movement of the body outdid the technology available at the time. It ended up being like QWOP, if the player only h... |
