There have also been quite a lot of clips and artwork shown over the years, and this latest video appears to be the most recentScornteaser. This new gameplay footage takes the viewer through the prologue of the upcoming release. Fans are treated to some of the gorgeously grotesque interiors, which will likely make many think of things like the firstAlienfilm or Movie Game Lunarium’s psychosexual horror titleLust From Beyond. WhileScorncertainly looks creepy and a little gross, it will allegedly not put a lot of emphasis on cheap jump scares, focusing more on environmental storytelling and puzzle solving.
However, a video uploaded to Twitter a few months back does show thatScornplayers will still have to fight monsters, even utilizing projectile weaponry, albeit still fitting the Giger aesthetic. In essence, for anyone who’s in the mood for a grotesque experience with a distinctive art style and less focus on jump scares, Ebb Software’s title will be an interesting contribution to the indie scene.
In fact, despite it not being a mainstream release, it’s considered to beone of the most anticipated games of this fall, not just in the horror genre, sitting alongside the likes ofGod of War Ragnarokand its horror contemporaryThe Callisto Protocol. Footage that has been shown off is really starting to whet the appetite of a lot of fans, especially those who have been waiting years for the game to come out.
Scornis set to be released on October 21 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
