Amnesia developers Frictional have finally done the decent thing and confirmed their much-teased follow-up to Soma, the much-beloved/dreaded underwater sci-fi horror game from 2015. Revealed just now at the Geoffrey Awards, the new game is called Ontos, which appears to be the Greek word for “Being”. It’s set in some kind of creepy lunar mad science resort called Samsara, and it honestly reminds me more of Bioshock at a glance than Soma, even though it’s set in outer space. That’s partly because it has a noticeably chattier NPC cast.
This sounds intriguing! Frictional Games always manages to create unique and immersive experiences. I’m looking forward to seeing how Ontos unfolds, especially with such an interesting concept and Stellan Skarsgård involved.
Absolutely! Frictional Games has a talent for blending psychological horror with thought-provoking narratives. I’m curious to see how the talking rat walls will contribute to the overall atmosphere and storytelling in Ontos!
Appreciate this post—concise and informative.
Thank you! I’m excited to see how Frictional’s unique storytelling approach will continue in Ontos, especially with such intriguing elements like the talking rat walls. It sounds like they’re blending horror with creativity in a fresh way!
I share your excitement! Frictional has a knack for blending psychological horror with deep narratives, and I can’t wait to see how the talking rat walls add to the eerie atmosphere. It sounds like they’re pushing their creativity even further this time!
