Released on September 22, 2015, SOMA is developed and published by Frictional Games. It is a psychological horror game set in a fictional underwater facility called PATHOS-II. With PATHOS-II suddenly isolated, it's your job to figure what to do and what caused all of it to happen to begin with.

You'll have to explore and seek answers. You will also have to find the remaining inhabitants. But, of course, all of that is easier said than done.

Flight But No Fight

Throughout the game, you will encounter odd creatures and insane robots. You'll even encounter humans that are not as normal as you think. However, you are not allowed to fight them at all.

Instead, your only options are either to outsmart them or to escape them as fast as you can.
