H.R. Giger-inspired biomechanical horror game 'Scorn' gets release trailer

Launching today is Scorn, the H.R. Giger-inspired "biomechanical" first person horror game from developer Ebb Software and publisher Kepler Interactive. Accompanying the launch is a brand-new trailer:



Tasked with navigating a desolate and interconnected bio-labyrinth, the only way to make it through is by learning the rules of this nightmarish place and manipulating the cruel machinery left there. By piecing together these secrets and using the organic tools available to you, surviving this world may just be possible. Finding the truth, however, is an entirely different question.

Scorn is available as of today on PC (Steam, GOG, EGS) and Xbox Series X|S, including Xbox Game Pass.

Been watching this one for a long time, but knowing me it'll probably be a very long time before I play it haha.

Nice, but I see they didn't change the sound effect for the shotgun weapon.
It's bio-organism shooting teeth, but it makes a metalic bullet using powder explosion sound...

I think it's like that on purpose.
it's not call of duty where you shoot 100 rounds to kill everything still moving while running fast all over the map.
It's more a slow puzzle game relying on the oppressing atmosphere where you have to survive and don't waste resources. It's just using first person view, doesn't mean it's a FPS. I suppose lot of people will fall for it.

Though, if it's repetitive and always the same puzzles, that's too bad :/
No, I didn't play it yet.
edit: and seeing all the bad review and comment, I guess I'll put my time on other games. really, that's too bad, it had potential with its visual.

Was hoping for "Bioshock? Hold my beer." but doubt we are going to get that as much as a decent Quake mod with the emphasis on puzzles.

Worlds also looked rather empty which if you are going to invoke H.R. Giger then... could be a tough one to live up to that one. I get they probably can't do the sexual aspects (not all of his stuff was but most of his most noted stuff that was not Alien was) but if you are not having the polygon budget to do the worlds then that turns to enemies, weapons and such which from that did not carry much.

It looks nice, but good God was that some of the most boring "gameplay" I've ever experienced. I've played several "walking sims" that I really enjoyed, but this? What a complete letdown. None of it even makes sense. No story, no lore, no notta. Just pointless puzzles and shit combat for no reason whatsoever. I wasn't expecting a fast paced action shooter, at all. But I did expect more than what it is. it deserves any/all poor reviews it receives.

I'm currently still pretty much at the beginning of the game and i have only encountered two opponents. And i have to say...that i already don't feel like playing the game anymore. I kind of like the atmosphere (even if everything looks pretty gray, in my opinion this also makes you lose sight of the enemies quickly). But the fighting is the last snot, no real explanation what is actually happening or where you are. I don't mind if the developers of the games don't immediately take you by the hand to explain every bullshit, but let you explore yourself to possibly find your way into the mechanics of the game or discover whatever secrets. But here is really nothing. Good thing the game is in the gamepass. Because i would have gotten the money back almost immediately.
