What is the purpose of life? Is there an afterlife? What is morally correct and what's considered not being rational? What is reality after all? Can we truly trust our senses?

Imagine we make a copy of ourselves and we move it into a computer. That copy keeps all the memories we had in our life. That copy is technically able to think, but is it really that way? Could that copy be able to get to the conclusion that it's not the original one? Is it really feeling it, or is it just a very convincing simulation of feelings and it's only the result of a very complex algorithm? Could that copy fall into despair because of an existential crisis? These are just some of the vast amount of topics you will confront during this very short, but astonishing journey.

With a strong display of resonant nihilism, SOMA manages to go above and beyond expectations to stand out as one of the best horror games I ever played in my life and, in my opinion, it sets a standard not just for horror games as a genre, but for horror itself.
