Reviews - When Day Breaks mod for SOMA

TL:DR - Solid work; a must-play for SCP fans.

"When Day Breaks" is a properly executed mod based on a solid source material.

Pros:
-Voice over
-Some very effective scares
-Overall atmosphere
-Intersting spin on SOMA's interfaces
-Gameplay and environments are cohesive with the story (e.g. the sunlight section)
-Well done voice overs

Cons:
- The pace really bogs down at the middle(the bulk of texts and recordings is put in one place)
- Puzzles are original, but nothing spectacular(I do acknowledge they're not the focus of this mod, however)

The mod delivers an SCP experience which is very different from the already released SCP games, and thus is definitely worth checking out.

I'd rate it a 7, but for the sake of it being a mod made on a fairly undiscovered engine I'm giving it an 8.
Cheers!

Short yet horrifying.

This was pretty enjoyable. I'm completely unfamiliar with the SCP universe, but I enjoyed reading/listening to the lore, and I liked the alternative backstory and unique pull on one of the original monsters.

Only downside really was its length, I'd have gladly continued this for longer, and some things were a bit obscure to figure out, also the command line was bugging out a bit, took me a while to get through that part.

Solid mod, one of my favourites for this game right now!

I found this mod to be creepy at first, but after completing it I just felt like I wasted my time. The little bits of worldbuilding/story were just sort of lame to me, and the payoff was bland. The physics are wonky for the escape sections, and the monster segments are also insanely buggy at times. This really just felt unpolished, which sucks as its one of the only actually "finished" mods for this game out there...

Final Verdict: 3/10 (Poor)

This is excellent piece of work. I don't have words.

Terrifying and generally one of the best SOMA mods.

Who made this mod has potential one of the best soma mods that I played till now (there's not many unfortunately) one thing that I would love for the team to improve next time, is the clarity of the voice acting, for a non native English speaker like myself, there was instances where I couldn't understand what the voice actors were saying, mostly on the voice records. Taking that out is a very nice mod, if short. Btw Alien Isolation was a inspiration i'm sure... ;)

Insane how great it is

great tbh, it's one of these mods that are so good it really fucken hurts when it's over

really proves timan's technical capabilities not just as a modder but as a designer as well, i especially enjoyed how the puzzles were handled; reminiscent of games such as half life, the player would actually have to examine the environments carefully in order to come up with solutions for the problems

10/10 would get gang raped by proxies again

No peanut :(
