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.

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

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.

@Xpander and @Keyrock thanks for your input :)

I played dead space 1 and 2 (1 I found scary, 2 not at all).

I guess I have to find some time and play Amnesia :)

Another game really worth to give a try for those with too clean pants is Outlast!

Buying this day 1 for sure. I loved the first Amnesia and day 1 Linux build is impressive, especially with a custom engine.

Gonna have to buy this. Granted I've bought all of their games at one point or another, from Penumbra 1 on, but I have yet to win any of them. Penumbra scares the living hell out of me and I start to have panic attacks... stinking dogs...

The thing that really makes their games ultimately true 'survival horror' games, is that you don't get any real weaponry at all. So you end up feeling completely helpless.

One thing I think that would potentially make people have heart attacks, but be very awesome, would be if this game had support for SteamVR (or other competing VR tech.) Imagine being able to reach out and interact with objects like that?
