Frictional Games’ SOMA Gameplay Trailer Debuts, Release Date Revealed

Frictional Games has released first footage of the SCP-inspired horror game, SOMA, with a brief description of the game and how players can expect to survive the experience.

The press release goes on to describe the game as follows:

Strange occurrences are disrupting the routines of the PATHOS-2 research facility. The radio is silent. Behavioral anomalies of the machines are increasingly dangerous, if not… malevolent. The facility is devolving into chaos. No weapons, and the only escape is practically unthinkable.

From Frictional Games, creators of the groundbreaking Amnesia and Penumbra series, SOMA is an aberrant tale of scientific inquiry and survival; an entropic exploration of synapse and circuit that wades through the delusions of human consciousness.

SOMA has been three years in the making and is set for release on both the PC and PlayStation 4 in 2015. That's two years from now, but judging from their previous endeavors, it'll be well worth the wait.
