SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an unsettling story about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human. Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I. You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.

What is SOMA about?

The radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to think they are people. Underwater facility PATHOS-II has suffered an intolerable isolation and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. What can be done? What makes sense? What is left to fight for?

Most of the audience here is not watching in English, is committed to the biggest streams, or you would start too far down the list to be found.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is SOMA too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 18 people are streaming SOMA, and the two biggest English streams hold 97% of the 3,169 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

“SOMA is a philosophically complex sci fi film disguised as a horror game. This game scratches alot of itches, claustrophobia, deep sea horror, sensory deprivation, fear of the unknown, and existential dreads, and so much more. All while telling one of the most…”
