The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Sampyli]

Wait, what's going on? I thought SOMA was always going to be another Frictional game: an atmospheric, first-person horror adventure.

Nope, "The Super Secret Project" was originally meant to be a sci-fi exploration puzzle game of some sort, but it slowly turned into a horror game.

But seriously? Already someone whinging about monsters not looking scary enough? I've always thought the monsters in TDD look ridiculous, but when you come across them in the game, it's a whole different story. It's not about the monster, it's about the atmosphere and the story. (Plus we've seen what, a 2 minute compilation of about 30 minutes of gameplay from an alpha build?)
