Frictional Games, creators of the groundbreaking Amnesia and Penumbra series released a new trailer for their upcoming sci-fi horror game SOMA.
The trailer below “showcases a few in-game scenes along with fresh voice work,” explained Thomas Grip, creative director at Frictional Games.
“Our hope is to give you a taste of the feel and atmosphere that SOMA will have. It also contains a few clues on what the game’s story will be about.”
Thomas Grip adds, “We are currently about a week away from the alpha of the game. This is a build in which a bit more than half of the full game is playable. It’s currently clocking in at around 5 hours, meaning the final game will end up at 8 hours or so.”
“A game like SOMA is a bit different to have in alpha than most other games. Normally, a game relies on a core mechanic that creates the basic engagement.
While graphics and sound are important, you can mostly test the game pretty early on with only temporary assets in place. This lets you get a feel for the game at a very early stage. Not so for us,” Grip concluded.
SOMA, a unique continuation of Frictional Games’ signature style of explorative horror, provocative storytelling, and unfathomable tension, free of distractive cut-scenes and combat, is slated to release on PC and PlayStation 4 in 2015.
