‘Scorn’ Shows Off In New 8 Minute Gameplay Video

Developer Ebb Software and publisher Kepler Interactive today released new footage for their upcoming horror FPS Scorn. The 8-minute video will take players into the Gigeresque bio-labyrinth where grotesque horrors await. In Scorn, players will explore a surreal, nightmarish world where players will come to understand the character they’re guiding, if only slightly. Tasked with exploring this hellscape, players must learn its rules and master its puzzles without any guidance or support, being left to fend for themselves in a totally immersive experience. By uncovering these secrets and gathering the strange bio-mechanical tools that seem to have been used by the civilization that previously called this world home, surviving might just be possible. Finding the truth, however, is an entirely different question. Scorn will be coming out October 21 for PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
