SOMA at 11: Frictional Games and a Question That Still Haunts

Eleven years after its release, SOMA remains one of gaming's most unsettling works—not because of its creatures, but because of what it forces players to confront about consciousness and identity. Frictional Games had already upended survival-horror with Amnesia: The Dark Descent in 2010. With SOMA, the Swedish studio went further: less mechanical tension, more philosophical dread. An anniversary worth taking a stance on.
