About this game
The Swedish game studio Frictional Games continues its tradition in the horror genre ( Amnesia , Penumbra series ) with SOMA .
This time, the player is presented with a science fiction story in which the protagonist, Simon Jarret, is suddenly transported to an abandoned facility the moment he goes through a brain scan.

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.
About Xbox One
Microsoft's Xbox One launched in 2013 alongside the PS4 and leaned heavily into backwards compatibility and subscription services like Game Pass. Because so many Xbox One owners moved to all-digital libraries, physical Xbox One cartridges — sorry, discs — in good condition are comparatively less common on the secondhand market than their PlayStation equivalents from the same era.
Gamevaro tracks SOMA for Xbox One with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding SOMA to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XONE release dates back to 2015.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for SOMA — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
