If you copy your mind into a machine, are you still 'you'? Or did you just create the monster that replaces you?

SOMA is a masterclass in philosophical horror that attacks your very sense of self. Most horror games try to scare you with jump scares, but SOMA asks a question that still haunts players long after the credits roll: If your mind is perfectly copied into a machine, which version is actually you?

The true horror of this game isnโ€™t the twisted monsters lurking in the darkโ€”itโ€™s the total loss of identity. You arenโ€™t just fighting for your life in a sunken research facility; youโ€™re fighting for your soul in a world where "humanity" has been reduced to a digital file. In the world of SOMA, death isn't the end... itโ€™s just a copy-paste error. We dive deep into the "Continuity of Self" and why this game's ending remains one of the most soul-crushing moments in gaming history.
