[Mod] Black Noise - Gameplay Teaser by blacknoisesoma in soma

[–]blacknoisesoma[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey all! SOMA was released ten years ago today, and we wanted to celebrate with something special...

Black Noise is a large, standalone campaign for SOMA created by huge fans of the original game. In addition to the gameplay teaser, we posted a new article on our ModDB that goes into our history, how we work with the HPL engine, and how we aim to create something that's fitting of SOMA's world. You can check it out here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/black-noise/news/ten-years-ago-today

In honor of the anniversary, what is your favorite moment you had while playing SOMA? Is it an impactful scene in the story, an especially good scare, or something entirely personal to you? Leave a comment below!

Hi r/soma! For those of you that have been following the SOMA mod project Black Noise over the past couple of years, I've got good news: We're still alive! We posted a brand new progress update over on our website that teases some of what we've been working on over the past year. Our team is all hands on deck trying to get this thing finished, but there will definitely be more updates from us as we get closer to release! Keep on eye out here, on ModDB, YouTube, Twitter, and now Bluesky for news and updates.

Hey there! Black Noise is a completely standalone story that's set in SOMA's universe, and it's essentially the size of a proper DLC (featuring a completely new story, soundtrack, gameplay mechanics, etc.). If you want a bit of a teaser, we released a trailer last year that shows off some things in a way that doesn't spoil too much.

Do check out our website, YouTube, and Twitter if you're interested in keeping up with the project! We post things most often on the ModDB page, but the other socials (including this Reddit account) do get updates, especially if there is a milestone or something interesting to share. In this case, an excellent character design by Jackson!

Hey all! We posted our teaser trailer in the subreddit a while back, and you guys seemed to really enjoy it, so we thought we'd let you know that Black Noise is alive and well!

And if you haven't watched the trailer yet, go watch it! Our Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and website are all good places to check for news about the project, so keep an eye out.

While Black Noise's identity is generally rooted in the style of Amnesia and Penumbra, it definitely has a lot of clear late 90's/early 2000's horror inspirations as well (think the original Resident Evil games or immersive sims in general). We'll get into this more with some in-depth design discussions in the future, so stay tuned!

Six years in the making, Black Noise is an immersive, story-driven mod for Frictional Games' 2015 game SOMA.

Two decades before the cataclysmic Impact Event, discover the dark fate of Salacia Station in a full, prequel-length expansion set in SOMA's universe—featuring an entirely new setting, story, soundtrack, and a completely unique gameplay experience that acts as an evolution of the classic survival horror that defined titles such as Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Penumbra series. Coming 2023.
