Insane headline. I would've liked to see what a SOMA show would look like.

that would have been so cool, but I don't really know how it coulda worked out, like an isolated horror-scape wouldnt allow for char development or anything.

I disagree about Soma being an isolated setting, there are actually lots of characters, it's just that they're all insane cyborgs who mostly happen to have their own personal reasons for attacking you.

I can't seem to find them, but before the game came out there was a series of live action video shorts made in association with it to help establish the concept and setting, I'd imagine a show being along the lines of those but fleshed out more.

Look up Soma Transmissions. There was also a bunch of short stories about the game. The one about climbing the big orbital gun to the top really stuck with me.

And there was more characters than just the scary proxy things.

Soma is far far more than a horror game. The horror aspects are secondary to the transhumanist questions it raised every hour you were playing it.
