Welcome to Hotel Samsara.

Frictional Games, renowned for their atmospheric horror titles such as Penumbra, Amnesia, and SOMA, has unveiled a teaser for a new project that captures a haunting aesthetic reminiscent of SOMA. The teaser, named Frictional_Next_Project.mp4, surfaced on YouTube and is part of an alternate reality game (ARG) that initiated last week with a discrete update to SOMA.

On September 22, players received an update that addressed spam filter issues on Simon’s computer, which inadvertently directed them to a mysterious website named hotelsamsara.com, presenting an enticing yet eerie investment opportunity.

As the ARG developed, players encountered a series of puzzles culminating in a foreboding teaser video, reflecting the allure of the new game. Frictional Games expressed gratitude to the community for their participation, emphasizing the excitement and surprise generated throughout this interactive experience.

Notable Quotes:

“Thank you so much for taking part in this ’little’ journey we’ve all taken together… it’s been a pleasure watching you all solve each step and create top-tier memes and inside jokes.”

Frictional acknowledges the community’s enthusiasm and collaboration.
