Upcoming horror game “Scorn” will give you nightmares

1 July 2016

Upcoming first-person horror game Scorn promises to give you nightmares as “even changing weapons makes you feel a bit sick”, reports Eurogamer.

Developed by the 10-person Serbian studio Ebb Software, Scorn’s otherworldly visual stylings owe more than a little to Alien artist H.R. Giger with an unsettling environment composed of diseased organic material and expansive foggy banks that make you queasy just looking at them.

The game also promises not to have any scripted cut-scenes or procedural generation, with every aspect of the game being “meticulously-crafted”.

“All of the storytelling happens in-game, with no cut-scenes to distract you from the grisly reality of the living, breathing (throbbing, dripping) world you’re in,” says the developer.

“But keep your eyes open – the game won’t show you any sympathy if you miss something important on your uneasy travels. Everything has a reason and purpose – you just need to work out what it is.”

The title is currently on Steam Greenlight (although it appears to already be very polished) and is expected to make its full release in 2017.
