[b]TL;DR[/b] [spoiler]i was playing SOMA and -blam!-ed up to the point where I was almost killed by a monster used as part of a scripted event that takes place at one point in the game.
I triggered a chase which ended in the monster cornering me in front of a closed door, I expected id lose because it was literally 2 centimetres behind me. and in the end, it despawned and I was safe.
Note to self, probably shouldn't share stories in #Gaming in this format...
Sorry[/spoiler]

Edited by Tuxx: 10/19/2015 5:10:16 PMI think I know what part you're talking about if you're at least a few hours in ;). I really enjoy that game. [spoiler]Did you have to find 3 specific items in order to do a thing to progress?[/spoiler] If that doesn't ring a bell I have no idea where you're at >_<. I didn't wanna be to explicit and ruin anything for ya if you haven't done it yet.
