A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

So worth it! I got it the same way a long while ago. That one definitely messes with your head!

I remember downloading a mod for Soma that lobotomized the enemies. I know that breaks the game but if you just want story it certainly helps.

I think that's just a native option now.
