In addition to the PC specs, Frictional has also delivered a new behind the scenes video exploring the music of SOMA. Starring Mikko Tarmia, the composer of SOMA's score, it gives a look into the creative process behind the sounds contributing to the horror game's tense and unsettling atmosphere. Take a look at the footage below.
The third title in Frictional Games' horror legacy, SOMA will somewhat echo its predecessors Amnesia and Penumbra, offering dark, claustrophobia-inducing spaces, mutated creatures, and an emphasis on puzzle solving and evasion over combat. The game releases on PlayStation 4 and PC on September 22, 2015.
