Soma tells a thought-provoking dreadful narrative pretty much perfectly, with each reveal and twist keeping me drawn in for its ~9 hour length. Never have I thought “could things get any worse?” so much in terms of the circumstances and predicament faced in a game. The well-written script and voice performances also deserves praise. Usually I’m not one to enjoy the modern approach to horror in games especially when running is the only option and means for survival. Thankfully there’s just enough enemy encounters to keep you on edge during your exploration while not becoming tedious. Absolutely recommend this one and can see it just creeping in on my top 10 horror games list.
