The free game codes. Some people got them, some did not.
Oh that, yeah, a few of them reported receiving them. A lot of people who deeply participated - didn't tho, seems a bit unfair.

The PS4 version of SOMA is almost done now.

All of the requested PS4-specific features (eg make sure the game is playable after having downloaded 5Gb, etc) are now implemented. What is left is to send it in and wait for feedback from Sony. Then it is just a matter of fixing whatever errors comes back.

At the same time we will continue to polish the game next time we send a build to Sony it will be pretty close to the 100% finished game.

11 GB, nice.
Why I have the bad feeling that PS4 is lead platform while PC is only second-rate?
And 11,2 GB is very very much for my slow internet. Need a blu-ray to burn the setup file omg!

second-rate?

The PC version has custom story support, better graphics, 60fps gameplay...

The game is much bigger than Amnesia, which makes sense.
Cool.

Anyway, is this old? But I noticed SOMA has shown up on GOG (no price or specs though):

But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I.

You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.
  • From the creators of the cult classic Amnesia the Dark Descent.
  • Spine-chilling horror that raises questions about identity, consciousness and existence itself.
  • Mixes stealth, exploration and puzzles into a coherent narrative experience.

Yeah, what he said. No way to even consider PC being "secondary" platform. The HPL Engine after all has been built up as a PC engine to begin with.

OK I red the post from FG who said that PC came first. Nice to hear!

Amnesia was only 1 GB, the Penumbra games 300 and 500 MB.
