Yesterday I found myself thinking about the videogame SOMA by the developers of Amnesia. I got stuck for a while just pondering about it because it's the sort of game that does in fact makes you think a lot even after playing it. It had been so long since I had thought about it but it took most of my esrly day yesterday.
Through science fiction, that piece of media puts into perspective some heavy questions that are harder to convey from a third person perspective like in a movie or a show. Questions regarding what it means to be human, what it means to be alive and what makes us be us, which really get to you since you live them through the main character's eyes.
God that game is so great. I love all the little interaction Simon, the main character, has with other characters like random robots or Catherine. He just has this way of talking that makes him feel so real.
And the whole story ends up being so sad, depressing and it overall feels like a struggle between hope and hopeless. And I am not lying when I say that yesterday I almost ugly cried at college while rewatching the ending, I was not well. Have you seen that meme of Pedro Pascal crying? That was how I felt when I started looking through the SOMA fanart on this website, being cute, funny and also sad, especially knowing that isnt the reality that those characters live.
