You mean the live action web series? Yea I don’t understand how that series had better visuals than many blockbuster scifi movies rofl. It was extremely well done.
I have a confession to make, in the early parts of the game (before things got all psychedelic) I was almost a little bit disappointed due to my expectations from the web series, just a bit, the intro is also great.
There was something really unnerving about the web series. Even though there was nothing explicitly, it created a sense of dread, like something really wrong was going to happen.
Yea. It was really well done. I think it could totally be a TV show or a game. Idk if you feel this way but literally no game or movie or anything has ever made me feel as fucked up (in a good way) as SOMA did the first time I played it. I mean horror, philosophy, anger, sadness, denial. It had it all. I even made the same mistake that Simon makes where I totally didn’t want to believe that he would never really make it to the Ark (because copy paste, not cut paste.) It was just so good

On one hand I agree, I was genuinely curious about the broader world and the lore when I was going through PATHOS-II.
But on the other hand, I almost feel the lack of clarity in many ways adds to the mystique and intensity of experience in Soma.
A key element of the narrative structure is that you don’t know what’s going when you arrive in PATHOS-II.

Yeah, the Soma web series were incredibly good.
