Scorn is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure game set in a nightmarish universe of odd forms and somber tapestry.
It is designed around the idea of "being thrown into the world". Isolated and lost inside this dream-like world, you will explore different interconnected regions in a non-linear fashion. The unsettling environment is a character itself.
Every location contains its own theme (story), puzzles and characters that are integral in creating a cohesive world. Throughout the game you will open up new areas, acquire different skill sets, weapons, various items and try to comprehend the sights presented to you.
GAMEPLAY FEATURES
COHESIVE "LIVED-IN" WORLD Scorn takes place in an 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.
FULL BODY AWARENESS
Players 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
Your loadout is defined and limited. This 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.

Scorn is a unique game that blends puzzle-solving with an eerie atmosphere, later incorporating some shooting mechanics. Its surreal and distinct art style feels more like an “experience” than a traditional game, which stands out in a crowded gaming market.
That said, the game ultimately wasn’t for me. I went in expecting a Doom-style shooter, only to find a non-linear puzzle game with little guidance. While the visuals were intriguing, I found the lack of tutorials, text, or clear objectives frustrating. Having to rely on walkthroughs to progress dampened my enjoyment, and I gave up after a few hours.
Overall, while Scorn might appeal to fans of atmospheric and unconventional games, I can’t recommend it to those who prefer clear direction or traditional gameplay.
The sound effects in Scorn are absolutely incredible, amplifying the fear factor and immersing you in the game's eerie atmosphere. The puzzles are enjoyable and well-designed, providing a fun challenge. While the combat feels somewhat clunky, it seems intentional, as the game encourages avoiding direct confrontations. The art design is breathtaking, perfectly complementing the claustrophobic atmosphere and enhancing the overall experience.
I don't see this game as game per se, but almost as a work of art. Gameplay could use some improvement, but audiovisuals make it worth playing. For all Giger fans.
The biomechanical atmosphere is really cool and gameplay is enjoyable. I only have a few hour in, and so far the puzzels have been pretty simple hopefully they increase in dificulty.
