SOMA – Cane and Rinse No.289 Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

Join Josh, Tony and Sean as we travel to the year 2104 and try our best not to slip up on the mysterious black gel slavering the hull of the deep sea research facility, the PATHOS II. We confront monstrosities created in this abyss that not only make us fear for our lives, but some that make us doubt what it means to be human and what value our individuality really has. We find out whether the nightmares stalking the corridors scare us nearly as much as the nightmares manifested by own minds, in Frictional Games' SOMA. Music used in this issue: 1.
