Hopefully this means more games like Soma, which had much more of an emotional core than the rest of their catalog. (I know, I know, Soma was also a horror game, but the horror elements were arguably the least interesting part.)

Yes, please, make more games like SOMA. I love just how much lorebuilding when into whole story, like the indie episode series.

All my yes.

Seems like a good idea, honestly. Their engine is pretty cool with the hyperinteractivity, but the horror aspect wasn't really for me. A cool Sherlock type game would be dope

Have they made any other games?

They have 4 games so far in the Amnesia series. The latest one was released last month, but it didn't give me a lot of the original Amnesia feeling.

That's a good thing though. They can't make a scary game if they keep doing the same thing over and over.

I do feel they delivered on the scariness. I finished the original, but I couldn't finish the demo this time.
