New Trailer Depicts the Crushing Isolation of SOMA from Frictional Games
Sink into the game’s cold, stark embrace starting September 22nd
SOMA Gameplay Trailer and Release Date – June 1, 2015
To be honest, I’m not sure what to make of SOMA. When JA first started covering it on October 2, 2013, it seemed to be one thing. But as things progressed, it seemed to be something else. Whatever it is, however, it sure looks weird. That’s a compliment.
You might see what I mean if you follow the link to the June 1st news item (above the video), which will lead you to additional JA pages. There have been six prior to this one.

Developer Frictional Games has been nice enough to post answers to the top three questions about SOMA here .
Note that this is not a game for children. It’s been rated M by the ESRB for Violence, Blood, Nudity and Strong Language. Look for SOMA on September 22nd for PC and PS4.
