The only other “human” companion he meets during his journey across the bottom of the sea is a scan of a person called catherine, which communicates via a small device with Simon. In the very last moment Simon sits in the chair from which he launched the arch and the light around him turns off slowly. So instead of the screen switching to the virtual paradise that you just launched into space, you stay at the exact same spot, other than you expected. In the last scenes after you succesfully start the “arch” (the satellite with the brain-scans) you realize, that even if your scan made it into the “eternity among the stars”, your current consciousness stays under the sea until the battery runs out or something else happens.
His mission is to safe the last bits of humanity in form of other brain-scans and send them to space. Since I had some free time the last weeks I decided to participate and create a scene that takes place after the end of the game SOMA.įor those who don’t know the game : the main protagonist Simon is basically a brain scan placed in the mind of a robot deep under the sea after a meteor hit the earth and destroyed all life. One of my favorite game developers Frictional Games has started a contest this september where you can create a mod/fanart/cosplay etc.
