The official Safe Mode is similar to Wuss Mode, a fan-made mod which stops monsters from attacking, but it goes a little further. As someone who hasn't finished Soma because they're a giant baby, I appreciate this. The dreadful monsters are still in the explore-o-horror game, mind, but they won't murder you to bits. Thankfully Soma now has a 'Safe Mode' for people who want to be deeply unsettled in the 2015 undersea technohell from the makers of Amnesia but not full-on terrified from being chased by monsters. In space, no one can hear you scream but in the sea, everyone can feel you wee yourself. Being terrified in the sea is undignified.
