SPOILER WARNING! This is a video essay on SOMA, and while I don't recount every story event and decision in the game, it is necessary for me to spoil the story.

SOMA is a video game developed by Frictional Games released way back in the distant past of 2015.

Simon Jarrett awakens from one nightmare only to plunge headfirst into another.
This game pushed me through such an emotional roller-coaster of euphoric highs and crushingly isolating lows, that when I walked my girl through the story, I was an emotional wreck. A game I had beaten days ago, upon recounting the journey was still affecting me to the point that I was breaking down in tears again.
SOMA was one of the most powerful video games I have ever played, and I knew I had to make a video essay on it explain why, and hopefully, to excite someone else to follow in my footsteps.
