SOMA is Frictional Games' science-fiction horror game set in PATHOS-II, a research station at the bottom of the Atlantic, where Simon has no weapons and survives by hiding, running and handling objects. Most of the keys move, crouch and lean, and a few grab, rotate and throw things; on a controller the D-pad turns a held object. These are the defaults from the game's own Keybindings list and the first preset on its Controller Mapping screen.
