From PC Gamer (it's apparently coming to consoles too):

Quote
Is it the dusty interior of HR Giger's mind? Is it an especially creepy Tool filmclip? No, it's just forthcoming horror FPS Scorn. As the image above and trailer below demonstrate, Scorn's most appealing feature is its disquieting art style, with a world that looks like it's set inside an enormous beast's oesophagus.

According to the game's Steam Greenlight page, Scorn is about being a fish out of water in a strange, unsettling world. "Isolated and lost inside this dream-like world you will explore different interconnected regions in a non-linear fashion. The unsettling environment is a character itself," studio Ebb Software writes.

The game will release in two parts, with the first expected to release in early 2017. The world of Scorn is open-ended, and players will need to pay close attention to environmental cues as there are no in-game prompts or tutorials. Apparently it'll be easy to miss crucial plot points in the game, but with an environment like this you'll probably want to take it slowly anyway.

It has guns too, of course, but ammo will be scarce by the sound of things. "Players will have to think about when to fight and when to take cover and how their actions affect the world around them. Different play styles will be needed to advance."


Early days, but I absolutely adore the aesthetic style.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Has a sorta Alien feel to it with all the ribs and slimy pustules, just a bit more alive.

I hope they don't ruin what appears to be a beautiful setting by filling it with waist-high cover and hallways.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Ah, now this is what horror should be. Not ugly things popping out at you, just a sense of dread that you don't know what you're looking at or if it will attack or not. That's some primal shit.

The organic weapons and what appears to be armor made of flesh and bone also caught my eye. I love the idea of biology that mimics technology. Much creepier than the opposite.

Ebb noted that it won't just be a typical FPS, as most creatures you encounter won't try to harm you.

Here's hoping the shooting is more of a means to solve puzzles or encounters, rather than the main focus of the game.

That failed abortion thing on the floor was more unnerving than any gribbly thing that has tried to eat my face off in a game.

If it's shit like that, this is the kind of horror I can rejoice to. Jumpscares/QTE/Gribbled need to go
