Frictional Games (SOMA, Amnesia) begin teasing something new

By - | Views: 32,995

Frictional Games, the developer behind some scary games like SOMA, Penumbra and Amnesia seem to have started teasing that a new game is coming.

The "Next Frictional Game" website they've historically used to tease new titles, has remained dormant for years with a message of "Our next project has not yet been announced." after the release of SOMA back in 2015. However, at some point after November 28th (the last recorded snapshot) last year it all changed.

Now, it has a repeating short video showing something pulsing. What though? I've no idea. Looks almost like a really early fetus perhaps? It's probably going to be something terrible we have to deal with or run away from once again.

Exciting, as Frictional have been a very long supporter of Linux gaming. They put their games on Linux like Penumbra way before most did, back a good while before Steam on Linux was a thing.

Begin your wild speculation and prepare you fresh pants, it's likely going to be another scary game considering that's what they seem to always do.

Quoting: 14I did not know there was a safe mode. Now, I'm curious. I'll look into this with SOMA. I do not like horror or creepy games.

I don't know what it does. I think beast is still there, but cannot kill you or something. It still will be creepy, but... there's stuff to be seen, decisions to be made, and the ending...!

Quoting: EikeI'll keep saying how incredible SOMA was, and that I recommend it even for people who are not into horror games (it's got some "safe mode") until I'm banned from this site or burried.

;)

I don't know if you played alien: isolation, but the creepiness is more or less the same, maybe less, because it lasts only for a small part of the game.
The rest is an incredible story.
