Read details on the game below:
Scorn drops its players into a nightmarish, dream-like world unlike any they’ve encountered before. With grotesque visuals inspired by the works of H.R. Giger, the goal in Scorn is to guide an unfortunate creature through a biomechanical labyrinth world on a journey of self-discovery. However, the ruins of whatever civilization existed there before, as well as the foul abominations calling the ruined halls their home, stand in its way.
By solving its puzzles and interacting with its strange denizens, players will make their way through Scorn‘s various themed areas. Navigate a world of striking visuals, unlock the secrets of its cruel machines, and come to understand what exactly the world of Scorn is and how your own fetid character fits into it.
An Ancient Alien World
Explore a visually impactful world walled with flesh and chitin, vast spaces populated by strange characters and the desolate, haunting imagery that populates Scorn‘s world. Though it may appear to be dead, everything in the world has a purpose.
Full Immersion
Experience total immersion in Scorn‘s dream-like world with total body awareness. Objects are picked up with your hands and machines are visibly operated.
Discover Devious Puzzles
With many of its doors locked, the only way forward in Scorn is to piece together the workings of its various contraptions. Use various items and skills to work through puzzles with unclear consequences and progress through Scorn.
Pick Your Fights
With only three weapons to defend yourself with and a limited supply of ammunition, every fight in Scorn needs to be approached with resources in mind. Fire off too many shots at an abomination that is no threat and you may not have the means to defend yourself later.

I thought this was an Xbox exclusive. Cool for the PS players I guess.
I actually thought the same, like for some reason I was thinking Microsoft co-funded development on it (though I knew they weren't the full publisher or anything). I guess it was just a 1-year exclusivity deal for the game.
Nah it was a moneyhat
Very interesting and atmospheric game. Not perfect but worth checking out. I still use the screenshots I took as my background.
Talk about a game that looks and plays like it would be amazing in VR!
The one slight advantage I'm curious to see Ebb capitalize on is DualSense. There's potential to get incredibly detailed & uncomfortable with haptic feedback for this one: sense of inserting your hand into fleshy devices, swapping weapon types, and reloading. Remains to be seen though.
I gave up after an hr, after being stuck. I wasn't compelled to keep moving forward.
The only thing this game had going for it was the artsyle. Wouldn't recommend, better off just watched the ending on youtube (which was semi-interesting)
A game I don't care so it launching won't change much for me.
Yeah, the game is super mid lol. If you ever think about having any interest in trying it out, wait for it on PS+
The moneyhat ended but we dont want this mid
I dunno man, I been meaning to pick this one up on PC, looks like some Clive Barker, H.R. Giger inspired horror which im all for.
