About this episode
The episode discusses the existential themes of the video game 'Soma' and its exploration of what it means to be human.
Tonight we're covering one of Andrew's choices of a video game that asks what is the difference between a human and a robot? What is living? We've come a long way from a monkey throwing barrels. This week we're talking about the existential horror video game "Soma."
