«Reason as a program».

Preface: Not every game gives food for reflection, but when this happens, you are covered with a wave of thoughts, even if they will not be quite positive, but even vice versa gloomy and dark. At such moments, you understand that there are more projects that raise the metaphysical issues of your existence.

*** Who am I running to salvation from darkness, which drives to the bottom of the ominous depths, waking up in bed with his little less than a hundred years ago? And if the boundaries of the living are not visible to me, can I recognize my body – mine? Reason is only people? Is he paradise or hell awaits me at the end? So many questions, but you are not ready to give them even one short answer. It’s easier not to think who or what are you, forget about reality, which is hidden from us. All works are smart, only a game of words that are hidden in the shadow of the secret. Leaving my nightmares, I start behind, pierced by fear, a story.

*** Walls covered with noidverificationcasinos.co.uk black veins. Pipes with slurry running along them. Reality is filled with interference, everything is filled with something else. Another – not life, and not even death. Mechanical and unconscious. The mind of cars is covered by a disease. Hear the verdict of the Earth. Two pathos – a cage deep under water, getting into it you cannot escape. He saturates the souls of people with blackness, forcing them to suffer terribly. Once there was a station, science and technology of a small town. Her heart was absorbed by the substance, writing her necrologist to staff. The idea worthy of a naming poetry is the connection between the cosmos and the bottom of the ocean. The rocket flies, strive for a constellation, each starts strictly according to plan. The team is chosen accurately and clearly. There is no place for extra people here. The spirit of the station is woven by their fate creating its bodily portrait. But now, in the dying agony, only AI remained alone. The sad outcome of the nightmare irony, the living from our land is erased.

*** The secret of Greek letters hides the story of what happened on the pathos two. Thoughts and feelings form the theory, but these are only words. The abandoned «Epsilon» in the darkness of the void, was left now without communication and light. The flame of the comets burned all the bridges with the ground, our planet became lifeless. On the little «lambda» a ray of hope, who will indicate to save the path. She will calm your mind rebellious, not seeing what is happening. Delta station – a transport hub, standing on the pier in the midst of fear and minimum. The thought that humanity is still needed is saving your soul from the void. People on the «aunt» are chained to the station with shackles of black structural gel. How to come to terms with this wanderings, I am not in my own body? Omicron is the last line and the border beyond which salvation disappeared in the depths. In a new body, my mind dissolves, meanwhile, the old will overtake oblivion. Having overcome yourself, you will find an understanding that the souls of people are the consciousness of cars. I wish you goodbye, stay with pathos two one on one. Find out what happened in the depths of the waters! Find out the fate of the last three stations! The clunning of the mind is waiting for you below. Perhaps you are destined to stay there.

Not only an atmospheric game, but also incredibly smart. The passage of SOMA prompted me to the book D.P. Hofstadter and d.TO. Dennet «Eye of Reason». If you are interested in the topic of artificial intelligence and “thinking” machines, then you should get acquainted.

Despite the gloom of the post, I congratulate everyone on the upcoming New Year! All great games.
