The currently unnamed upcoming game (likely some form of horror) from Frictional Games now has a new teaser.
As a bit of background, since late last year Frictional Games (SOMA, Amnesia) have been teasing a brand new game coming. They've been doing a bit of an ARG, with a special dedicated teaser website that's had a video change every few weeks along with other hidden YouTube videos you had to find. What started off looking like a single cell, is now looking much more like a human embryo:
Pictured: Some of the stages it's been through up until 28/02/20.
We also now have some movement, with the fetus wiggling around and it's a bit mesmerizing. Frictional definitely have nailed down this whole teasing business.
The latest of their teasers, is a video they're now sending out titled 'New Game Teaser: "I am Tasi"'. What's interesting isn't just this fresh video, it's that this is the first time they've posted anything about it on social media which makes me think we're getting quite close to an actual reveal now.

From what we can gather, the person speaking is Tasi and they're reminding themselves of who they are. Perhaps they have…amnesia? Oh now that would be something. We don't get to see much, they're in some sort of sandstorm but for the brief moment their eyes are fully open, we see what looks like a cave in the desert with a beam of light coming out. As for what they say, here's a brief transcript
Don't lose it, no no come on. I need to find him, he must understand. I am Tasi, I am still Tasi.
Whatever it is, I am now very much hyped to find out more. Especially how this all ties into the previous teasers we had to hunt for, like the one where they discovered a letter in what appears to be an ammo box buried somewhere.
Get your thinking caps on, I want to know what you think this all means.
Additionally, Frictional is currently hiring.

Quoting: DrMcCoyHmm, seeing the portal or whatever that is there, I was thinking maybe duplicating like Star Trek transporters. But that would be just a retreading of the SOMA themes
On the other hand, the other videos look more like something occult. Ghosts and beings from the realm of the dead, like.
From peeking at the speculation based on clues given in the videos, a picture is shaping up that suggest some sort of transhumanist cult I think. A document that someone found talks about replacing parts of something while retaining its identity, and that's definitely consistent with Fractional's themes.
Might be way off base, but people are having a lot of fun with it at least.
