There's actually very little to say right now, so have a cryptic flash website, complete with a video on it, and a countdown for more to come. Seems vaguely SCP inspired, from the text snippet we get. I'm liking the aesthetic as well, or what little we see of it. Reminds me of System Shock a lot.

Perhaps they named it after the drug in Brave New World? Or maybe they named it after the Hindu miracle drink of the gods?

Well of course they're referencing brave new world. The real question is, whether this means anything or they're just thinking "Hey! That's a relevant, evocative reference! We'll throw it in there."

I mean, there's a luxury apparel store at the mall called Soma, and that's a meaningful reference (and also one that makes me think maybe the people who run it hate their target demographic and are secretly mocking them). Used in a horror game where the horror isn't... well, I don't know if I'd say it's unsubtle, but it's very ostensibly a horror game, I struggle to think of any actual meaning.

If PewDiePie has ruined scary games for you, I can't help.

But I can give you this gun. And this map to his house. You didn't get them from me.

Maybe it's not a reference to Brave New World or Hindu anything, guys.

Maybe it's a reference to a muscle relaxant by the same name. :B

Or you know. The greek word "soma" which means "body". Which forms the root for "somatic" ("of the body") and "chromosome" ("colour body").

Or maybe its a play on insomnia, which is what this game is going to give me.
