    Sort of, in Soma you are all already uploaded and there are no “humans” walking around anymore. Your perspective changes 3 times I think during play. Really drives home questions on perception and existence. Great game everyone should play it.

      Oh, yea, like in the game’s present you are right. I was meaning in the game’s past; where all the humans went and what info you get through the like audio logs or whatever.

      spoiler

      IIRC it was basically a cult thing where a bunch of them were convinced their soul wouldn’t go with their consciousness unless they died during or very shortly after the brain scan that was uploading them to the satellite thingy.

      Guess it should be wrapped in spoiler tags just in case…

          I’m not sure I’m mentally prepared to replay it. The first time through nearly kicked off an early mid-life crisis. I was waking up in cold sweats having an existential crisis for like a week. Such a good game, but at least in my case, absolutely zero replay-ability. lol
