Soma difficulty

[Gage]

So Ima make this straight forward - Are there only two difficulty options for this game of Safe and Normal? I am at the start screen and i only see these two available. Did some google searches additionally, but I didn't find anything. If anybody knows that'd be great.

That's it. In normal you have to hide sometimes or run away, not very often though. On safe mode monsters won't attack you afaik.

The puzzles in the game are relatively straight forward, the biggest problem solving them are the monsters harassing you.

I haven't played the safe mode yet, but that would probably be very easy. I would say the game on normal is about average in difficulty.The majority of the game is exploration, but there are a couple of areas that are quite challenging/stressfull.

SOMA is not the kind of game that has a lot of replay value, so make the first time count. So I suggest to at least attempt the normal difficulty first, and if that is too difficult then start over iin safe-mode.

Can you change difficulty mid way?

[supaloops]

I'm such a coward that I play on easy and also cower in my chair with a blanket around me even on easy. Such a great game, though. Totally agree with Sam it being a one and done, though.

No, you will have to start over to change the difficulty.

You don't need to start over, go to My Games-SOMA and open the user settings cfg file, change godmode to 'true' and that does the same as safe mode.

sir, thanks a lot. that worked. i was mid game and i couldn't enjoy the stealth/running parts, but with this i can explore the world in a much more relaxed way without starting the game again from the beginning (and the dark/creepy atmosphere still remains).

i have no clue why the devs did not implement this in the options in the first place.
