The new horror game 'SOMA' from Amnesia developer Frictional Games is due in September, and they confirmed it should be a day-1 Linux release.
Glad they were able to clarify it so quickly, as it's very confusing when developers use the term PC.
I'm very excited about this one, as I love space/future themed stuff and Frictional know how to do horror pretty damn well by now. Even though I'm a big sissy and refuse to play any more than I already have in Outlast, I will try to stream this when it's out for you, I can't promise I won't scream a lot though.
About the game (Official)
SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, creators of the groundbreaking Amnesia and Penumbra series.
Coming to PC and PS4 in 2015.
The radio has gone silent on PATHOS-2. As isolation bears down on the staff of the remote research facility, strange things are happening.
Machines are taking on human traits and alien constructions have started to interfere with routine. The world around them is turning into a nightmare.
The only way out is to do something unimaginable. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

@gamingonlinux Mac and Linux ports should be available at launch unless something really weird happens!

I literally could not play Amnesia The Dark Descent for longer than 30 or 40 minutes at a time. I would have to turn on the lights, turn the game off, put away my headphones, catch my breath, and tell myself that it's just a game while my heartbeat slowed down to regular speed. Good times. Day one buy.

I'm liking what I see but I hope the PS4 version doesn't hold the PC version back.

Getting a good system shock vs alien feel from it so far :)
Good that the PC thing got cleared up, but tbh I find myself getting more PS4 games and less Linux games the last few months (bloodborne, FF X remastered, Witcher 3), so not sure yet if its gone be a linux buy

insta buy ...seems a lot more interesting than Amnesia or Penumbra series.. dont get me wrong, i liked those as well, but sci-fi setting seems more interesting.

The first trailer did not actually impress me all that much, but it is nice to see that Frictional is at least doing some things new going by this one, and of course I am going to be buying it.

Amnesia with a sci-fi setting? Hell yeah! I'm so going to buy this.
The trailer looks awesome already.
And yeah, I probably won't be able to ever finish the game because I'll be too freakin' scared.

Wow, SOMA looks amazing! It reminds me of Doom 3 and Alien Isolation, but Frictional always adds a lot of tension with their emotional senses in their games. Makes everything much spookier...
I love how there is no HUD and everything is interactive just like in Amnesia.
I'm definitely going to buy SOMA! I love the direction they have taken with games and supporting Linux

I hated/loved Amnesia and I think this will be a repeat of the entire love/hate cycle. Amazing games, but as others have said, I literally can't play for more than an hour or so before I need a breather and a calm down...

I have a little question:
So far I have not had the time to play Amnesia The Dark Decent. But I really like for example Dead Space (and found it very scary).
Is there anyone here who has played both and give maybe an idea of what felt scaryer (if compairing is even possible).
Just curiosity :)

if dead space 1 and 3 count ... Amnesia is scarier imo, it just has the sound effects that make it super scary and you really cant do nothing against monsters, just hide.
dead space 1 was also kind a scary but 3 was not at all.

I have a little question:I'd say Amnesia was scarier IMHO. The first Dead Space did have really good atmosphere, but I think Amnesia surpassed it in that area, especially in the area of ****ing with your mind. Plus, while I'd hesitate to call Dead Space a shooter... the first one, anyway, you could at least fight back in those games, while you are essentially helpless in Amnesia. Your only recourse is running away and hiding.
