SOMA will receive a Safe Mode on December 1 on PC and Xbox that turns the game's murderous monsters into largely cautious observers, allowing for a less stressful experience. Director of SOMA and Frictional Games founder Thomas Grip spoke with PC Gamer about the decisions surrounding the update - even going so far as to say that, in retrospect, it makes him question if this is the way the game should have been released. Safe Mode is an official version of the popular Wuss Mode, a fan-made mod for SOMA that removes the killing instinct from the game's monsters.
