Gamasutra - How SOMA creates existential dread

![share-with-dlike.jpg](og:image" content="")

'SOMA wasn't initially meant to be a horror game. It simply came to be horrifying due to the subject matter it was exploring.'

The gameplay itself was more of a chore and that's not really where the horror lies in. It is a Cthulhu?Lovecraftian game that explore deep sci-fi philosophical themes and that's where the horror comes from.
