Teasers for the SOMA Studio’s Next Project Have Shifted Into ARG Territory



In late December, Frictional Games? website began hosting an ominous teaser image. It was merely a flashing white dot at the time, nothing too fancy. Weeks later the strange white speck had grown, pulsating faster, fueling all kinds of internet theories. Now the studio behind Amnesia: The Dark Descent and SOMA has allowed the tease to morph into something grander?an alternate reality game (ARG).

PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};

var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1579964576'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1579964576')
