Basically it's much like that experience but due to the shorter play time, the pacing and story beats hit much quicker and faster and it doesn't overstay it's welcome.
The Kotaku article says it was finished in 11 hours.

Going by various reviews, the play time ranges from 7 to 12 hoursThat's actually surprisingly long.

No. Digital onlyIs this getting a physical release for PS4? Reviews make it sound worthy of one.
Ya I couldn't disagree more with most people. I am usually into this stuff but the lack of any danger whatsoever in the game just absolutely made the game fall apart for me.
Though I did think the truly underwater sections were brilliant, most of the time your in the structure and it felt cardboard cutout and unlock this unlock that, turn this knob for hours. As someone who thinks System Shock 2 is a masterpiece I am blown away someone would even think of these 2 in the same thought aside from all the cribbing this game does.
But sometimes games don't hit with certain people and I am cool with that.
Excellent, been looking forward to this. Hope it's not as terrifying as Amnesia, because I will not be able to complete it then.
So is it like Amnesia as far as there being no real punishment for being caught by the monsters? Can't listen to the review right now.
Any indication of the UK price yet?
Can't decide which version to get.
PS4 - Huge screen, the missus and I experiencing it together
PC - Nice graphics/controls, headphones to really get immersed
Honestly, if it's more than £20 I'm going to sit it out for a while. Even at £20 it will be the most expensive digital game I've ever bought.
Bu..bu...but what about the support group?
When does this release and on what platforms?
SOMA is Frictionals most accomplished game to date and there are at least two areas that already feel like theyre home to classically constructed horror sequences. It does feel a little bit like watching a creepy movie with a friend who wont shut up about the philosophical ramifications of it all though I think sometimes telling can work just as well as showing, but in SOMAs case a little less of the telling would have been welcome. The areas that the game explores made me curious rather than terrified, and I never felt the anxiety or urgency that I associate with my favourite horror games. Well, except when a monster was chasing me but that had less to do with what that monster was and what being caught might mean, and everything to do with those excellent sound effects and some twisted, twisting level design.
While it is an enormously satisfying and well-crafted game, SOMA never managed to convince me that its themes and plot were in tune with its more traditional first-person frights. It scared me and it gave me cause to think about some of the issues raised, but now that Im done, I doubt itll stay long in my mind, or plucking at my nerves.
Sorry Staffs; I'll do my best! It's just that £20 is usually my limit for digital releases, and with it being $30 USD makes me a little concerned that that might translate into a higher price in GBP, despite that amount literally equating to £19.36.
PC & PS4; $30. Not sure about other currencies just yet.
Lol.
I want this but I was freaking out playing Everyone's Gone To Rapture. Do you people think I can handle this?
Any word on how the PC version's like? Any performance issues?
Have they ever released a physical game? I'm genuinely curious now.
You can turn it offIt ran fairly well. The game isn't really a looker technically. More so in the design. At times when it has a lot of various effects doing on it can bring the framerate down a bit but aside from not being able to turn the almost criminal Chromatic Aberration off its fine.
ChromAbb is only used when you are heavily damaged or in other unpleasant states, so if you do not like it then it should work quite well
Jokes aside, if you really want to remove it, there is a setting to turn it off (game-> color separation).
