Scorn lures players into a claustrophobic underworld populated with mis-shapen organic forms dripping with unnamed fluids. You will find yourself entirely alone, with only your senses and instincts to guide you through the non-linear nightmare of interconnected spaces.
The first person gameplay in Scorn is a glistening combination of gunplay and puzzle solving, with the environment and the creatures it disgorges doing their utmost to confound your progress. That's not to say every inhabitant you meet wants to eviscerate you - most of them don't care about you one way or the other.
In Scorn, the environment is itself a character, and will do its best to unsettle and unbalance you. Each location has its own puzzles, characters and story to tell, all of which combine to create a cohesive world. On your journey through the game, new areas, skills, weapons and items will be unveiled as you attempt to comprehend the unfolding reality of Scorn.
PlayStation fans can soon get their chance to experience a true nightmarish adventure as the grotesque and macabre Scorn is set to launch on PS5 later this year.
Publisher Kepler Interactive and developer Ebb Software also revealed the atmospheric first-person horror adventure game has accrued more than 2 million players since its launch on Xbox and PC last year.
PlayStation players can also look forward to solving the game’s flesh-based puzzles in 4K/60fps with the help of the PlayStation’s haptic & DualSense features which will aid in further immersion in the disturbing and unforgettable world of Scorn.
Scorn fans can also pre-order an exclusive physical deluxe edition of the game from select retailers soon both for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Distributed in partnership with Maximum Games, the physical edition includes the full game, a limited edition SteelBook® case, the game’s haunting original soundtrack and a digital artbook.
Key Features:
- Cohesive “lived in” world - Scorn takes place in open-ended world with different interconnected regions. Each region is a maze like structure with various rooms and paths to discover .All the storytelling happens in-game, with no cut-scenes to distract you from the grisly reality of the living, breathing world you’re in. 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.
- Full body awareness – player will experience better immersion being aware of the character’s body and movement. Interaction with the world is realistic - objects are picked up with your hands (instead of just floating in midair), machines and instruments are operated by grabbing the controls etc.
- Inventory and ammo management - is defined and limited. It plays a big role in keeping the player in an even greater state of awareness throughout the whole game. 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.
Currently available for PC and Xbox Series X|S, Scorn is coming to PS5 in Fall 2023.
