The Makers of ‘SOMA’ Answer Your Burning Questions
When Frictional Games frees their latest game upon us in a few weeks, we’ll finally have the answers to all the questions that have surrounded SOMA since it made its debut nearly two years ago. To promote the latest trailer for the game, the studio recently chose three of the most common questions they’ve been asked and answered them, because it’s important for us to know how many pants can we expect to ruin before the credits start rolling, in relation to Amnesia.
The answer to that, according to a post on studio’s official blog, is that SOMA will be “just as scary, if not even more so, but in a different fashion.”
They also dig into the game’s puzzles and storytelling, if you’re jonesing to learn as much about this game as possible before it reveals all later this month. But really, if you’re not sold on it yet, I’m not sure what will do the trick outside of the actual feedback it will receive in just two weeks. If you’re already sold, I recommend you set aside some time to get comfy with this haunting new trailer.
SOMA arrives September 22 for PC and PS4.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
