• Locations that contained pitch black darkness have been brightened up a lot, making environments possible to explore at ones own pace, allowing for easier navigation and removes some of the oppressive atmosphere.

Blog posts are being written at the speed of light at Frictional Games! Check all the latest ones at frictionalgames.blogspot.com We hope they will give you an insight when it comes to our thoughts on narrative, gameplay and design.

New blog post on stories creating context and why this is both crucial and beneficial when making engaging games. http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/05/story-what-is-it-good-for.html

New blog post! Reality is a fiction created by our brains, a mental model of the outside world. Knowing how this works is crucial to game development and these mental simulations has a huge effect on how a game feels and plays. http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/04/mental-models.html

Playing a videogame can put you in a state where the borders between your self and the character gets blurry. This is one of the major differences that sets games apart from other mediums such as films and literature. When creating games, evoking this feeling of presence is worth trying to achieve. Latest blog post: http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/04/evoking-presence.html

We know there’s a lot of great things being made all the time, inspired by our games. We’d love to see more of it, and make it visible to all of the community! Share your creations with us on Facebook or Twitter (use the tag @frictionalgames) before Tuesday, April 18th. A very unbiased jury (the Frictional Games team) will pick four winners. And the prize? A brand new Tobii Eye Tracker 4C, courtesy of Tobii Gaming! https://tobiigaming.com/eye-tracker-4c/

Blog post on combining narrative and gameplay, making a game even more immersive. http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/04/resident-evil-and-power-of-narrative.html

At Frictional Games, we want our games to be as immersive as possible. And that's why we're extremely happy to reveal our collaboration with Tobii Gaming​ - as from today Tobii eye tracking is enabled in SOMA on Steam! We're so excited that we will launch a big sale on Steam, starting in 4 hours. SOMA 66% off. Amnesia The Dark Descent, Amnesia: a Machine for Pigs, Amnesia: Collection, and Penumbra 80% off. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/9hVauJMni1w

A sneezing engineer was more than enough to keep the audience spellbound during the early days of film. But soon, filmmakers had to add the element of storytelling, in order to keep the viewers' attention. As a medium, videogames are getting along just fine by relying on fun gameplay. But is it time to disassemble games and start building them with a focus on storytelling, as well as gameplay? New blog post: http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/03/videogames-too-fun-for-their-own-good.html

How do you handle travel time in games, and how do you keep the players intrigued and content during these periods. How do make going from one place to another fun? And what's the difference in our expectations depending on the type of game we choose to play? Read our new blog post, where Thomas shares his thoughts on the subject. And let us know what you think in the comments! http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/03/traversal-and-problem-with-walking.html

Time to get to know our executive producer, Fredrik, a little bit better. He shares some thoughts on our future projects, and let you get an insight on how Frictional Games is transforming into a two-project studio. http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2017/02/people-of-frictional-meet-fredrik-our.html

Game: - Fixed a rare bug which caused the Omnitool not to activate near door panels Modding: - Added more script documentation to the helper scripts - Fixed bug that prevented editor dialogs from being opened more than once - Fixed the cMatrixf constuctor using the wrong arguments

Version 1.10 Changes: - Support for mod dependencies in game: a mod can be built on top of other mods without the need of messing around with resources now. - Support for mod dependencies in tools: this means tools will resolve dependencies and all added assets will become available to the user (and no more tweaking of resources.cfg file needed!) - Fixed long startup times in LevelEditor, also reduced memory footprint when using a mesh object creator (static objects, entities, detailmeshes edit modes). - Brought back random scale and rotation controls in LevelEditor. - Added some nice icons to the tools and minor bugfixes. And last but not least: thanks to the awesome work by Patrik, we now have an Amnesia asset pack! This is published on Steam Workshop and can be used as dependency to create your own Amnesia-esque custom story for SOMA: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=570600440 And here a sample mod using the asset pack: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=570668616

Mikko Tarmia’s SOMA OST is now available for download and streaming through iTunes, Spotify and other online services. 24 tracks of music from SOMA, tweaked and modified to create the best possible soundtrack release. https://itunes.apple.com/fi/album/soma-original-video-game-soundtrack/id1054258000 https://play.spotify.com/album/0pzJhUMa0muZMC3vNKlsPW

Dive deeper into the world of SOMA to uncover more about the events and stories preceding the game with the live-action mini-series from Frictional Games and Imagos Films. Watch Transmission #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8I_J2VjsqQ A new episode will be available daily, Sept. 28 through Oct. 5, through the Frictional Games YouTube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO8PLDh8UbE Creative Director Thomas Grip, reflecting on the development of SOMA: "Five years ago, SOMA started as a simple idea; to make a game that would explore the more disturbing aspects of what it means to be a conscious being. Since then, we have gone through years of iterations, lots of hard work and almost tripled the size of our team. And finally, today, the game is done. We are very proud of how it has turned out, and feel that we have achieved what we set out to do. It has easily been the most ambitious project we have undertaken, and getting to this point has been quite a struggle. We hope people find SOMA to be a creepy and provocative experience that stays with them long after playing." The radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to think they are people. Underwater facility PATHOS-II has suffered an intolerable isolation and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. What can be done? What makes sense? What is left to fight for? From Frictional Games, creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, SOMA is a sci-fi horror game that questions our concepts of identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human.

“Frictional’s latest title is a benchmark for the horror genre, and easily one of the best examples of video game storytelling this year. Whether you're a returning fan, or a horror newbie, SOMA deserves your immediate attention.” The Escapist “Soma stayed on my mind for days after the credits rolled, and the final sequence is one of the most intense I’ve experienced in years.” Gameinformer “SOMA succeeds at crafting something much more meaningful in a genre that’s deserving of more than just simple jump scares.” Gamespot “It’s genuinely disconcerting, and few games play with ambiguity so well or confidently.” IGN "That Frictional has been able to take such an over-used concept as exploring an abandoned research base, populated by bloody corpses and monsters, and turn it into a sombre philosophical adventure that is also exciting and even funny, is quite the achievement." Eurogamer “Visually, it’s a masterpiece, and every room tells a story: about the people who lived there, about what went wrong, about the outside world, or about yourself.” PC Gamer

What does it really mean to be human? Are we bound to the flesh of our bodies, or do we simply inhabit them? Coming September 22nd to PC and PS4, SOMA is an unsettling journey into the depths of human consciousness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WO2SxMum20 Visit the Frictional Games blog today, where Frictional Games delves into the creation of SOMA's disturbing sound effects. Visit the Playstation blog, featuring an article going over the subjects that have inspired the game.

To help you prepare yourself for the imminent release of SOMA, we have decided to have a sale with an 80% discount on all our previous games. Hurry and you’ll get Amnesia: The Dark Descent for free during the next 24 hours and the game will remain in your library forever. If you pre-order SOMA you’ll get a 10% discount and you’ll be able to preload the game starting tonight.
