Soma Bringer

After surviving a car accident with severe brain injuries as a result, Simon accepts to have his brain scanned with a new, experimental technology.

While he starts the day in his apartment in Toronto, the scan takes him to the mysterious PATHOS-II facility mere hours later.

Much like its predecessors, SOMA's gameplay is built from monster encounters, puzzle solving and the exploration of mysterious game world and plot.

Similar to Amnesia or the last two Penumbra games, Simon is unarmed and every encounter requires the player to avoid direct contact with the hostile creatures of PATHOS-II.

As for the puzzles, Frictional reuses in part the capabilities of its in-house engine, the HPL engine (on its third main version), to manipulate every object in the world as if the mouse were a virtual hand that the player inserts in the game world.

However, this time around puzzles are mainly about interacting with computer terminals, leaving object manipulation more for world exploration.

Since December of 2017, an additional Safe Mode option was added to the game.

This mode allows players to experience the story without the fear of their character dying.

Soma Bringer for Nintendo DS is currently worth €28.53 loose, €28.00 complete in box, and €55.99 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Soma Bringer has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Soma Bringer, loose is €28.53 and CIB is €28.00 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
