SOMA has a rich and mysterious setting and backstory, and now you can learn about it without having to run around a creepy damned underwater station, crying and screaming.

A live action SOMA prequel series kicked off today. It comes to us courtesy of Imagos Films, working in collaboration with Frictional Games, and a new episode will release every day through October 5.

Watch the first episode below, and tune in to the Frictional Games YouTube for the rest of the series.
