Spoiler: Description

Scorn is an atmospheric first person horror adventure game set in a nightmarish universe of odd forms and somber tapestry. It is designed around an idea of "being thrown into the 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. Every location contains its own theme (story), puzzles and characters that are integral in creating a cohesive lived in world. Throughout the game you will open up new areas, acquire different skill sets, weapons, various items and try to comprehend the sights presented to you.

The game looks like the art cover of old Alien books.
This thread will be a great place for troubleshoots for all the issues on PC.

Am enjoying it so far but am stuck on Act 3.

I had seen all Alien movies. And it scares me sometimes a bit. It was so good on the first one "Alien 1". Ripley and HR Giger made good work.

But what I saw in a german YT video. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes. I... I ... I don't know. I tought I had with these Alien Movies everything seen what could be. But I can't discribe.

Everything, Resident Evil, Silent Hill or what ever is only Kindergarden... Take care if you want to play it!!! 🤮😱

I mean it have here in germany an USK 18 category and I'm 38 years old it is - I hope I can sleep tonight without making pee and poop in my bed.

Scorn, it's not horror for me.
Just perfect visual implementation of Giger's ideas.

P.S
Honestly, this is one case where I don't give a fuck about gameplay.

I mean the animations with the "subjects" they are so ugly weird and brutal.

But I like it if you enjoy it, endo mate!

Thank you mate
I'm truly not very impressionable.
But I really liked the game graphics, in game athmosphere, music and Unreal Engine 4.27 capacity realisation.

P.S.
By the way.
Konami use almost identical Unreal Engine 4.26 for eFootball, they need to learn how to work with the game engine.

Love the effort you put in to the first post.
I was planning to edit all of the posts this way, so the other games forum looks nice. Really glad there are some that try to follow the pattern.

As for the game - im still not convinced whether I want to play it or not.
Heard that currently its quite clunky and awkward when it comes to combat.
I might wait for a patch or two and then give it a go.
Love "alien" style, just hope the story is interesting, not just some random experience where you have to explain everything to yourself.
