Soma

A sci-fi horror game set in a facility deep under the ocean, played in first person. You explore, read terminals and documents, and solve puzzles while avoiding threats you cannot fight. The story asks what consciousness and identity mean, and the mood is tense and unsettling. You hide or outsmart enemies instead of shooting. Is it your kind of game?
