Extinction: Contrast
A downloadable mod
This level is made in HPL3 for SOMA (2015). The level was created for the Level Design Jam 4 hosted by Steve Lee.
The thematic of the level is contrast, expressed through the lighting mechanics, states of the environment and the different approaches the player can take to reach a singular objective in the level.
The level showcases one player objective and a level design setpiece built around reaching it in multiple possible ways. While it doesn't have much of a story on it's own, it was originally planned to be part of a larger mod that was unattainable for the level design jam deadline, so that might be potentially made sometime.

Install instructions
1. Go to your SOMA install directory and locate the mods folder. If it does not exist create it.
2. Copy the Extinction Contrast folder in the mods folder.
3. Run the mod launcher executable from soma's install directory or through steam, select play custom content and select the entry for extinction contrast.
4. For the best experience the game is best played with headphones in a dark environment. Adjust the gamma according to the instructions at the start of the mod, and set up the shadows to very high in the graphics options. The mod is designed to be played on the normal difficulty.
