SOMA is a deeply atmospheric sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of the iconic Amnesia series. The story unfolds in the underwater research facility PATHOS-II, where collapsing systems, malfunctioning AI and twisted biomechanical creatures blur the line between man, machine and consciousness. SOMA blends psychological horror, philosophical storytelling and immersive exploration to create a haunting experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

You play as Simon Jarrett, who finds himself trapped in the decaying halls of PATHOS-II after a mysterious medical procedure goes terribly wrong. Inside this drowned and isolated complex, robots display human emotions, corrupted machines attempt to communicate, and abominations roam the flooded corridors in search of anything alive. Your mission is to uncover what happened on the station, survive the horrors within and face the moral and existential dilemmas at the heart of SOMA’s narrative.

Combat is not the focus — survival relies instead on stealth, observation, puzzles and interacting with PATHOS-II’s malfunctioning systems. You’ll hide from hostile entities, solve environmental challenges, restore critical systems and piece together the tragic past of the station through logs, terminals, documents and audio records.

SOMA explores profound philosophical themes: What defines a person? Can consciousness exist independently from the human body? Is a simulated mind still a living being? The narrative is emotionally intense, strengthened by exceptional voice acting, immersive sound design and richly detailed environments that capture both the beauty and terror of the deep ocean.

The Steam edition provides achievements, cloud saves, controller support and stable performance on modern hardware. It also includes the optional “Safe Mode,” allowing players to experience the full story without the threat of death — ideal for those seeking atmospheric exploration rather than intense horror.
