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.
