Scorn
Description
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.

4/5 stars
In truth, Scorn doesn’t tell a particularly fascinating story, but it hardly matters; the way in which it’s told is done to perfection, and provides an incredibly refreshing horror experience that truly gets under your skin.

3.5/5 stars
Scorn works wonders with Giger's and Beksiński's artwork, not only in terms of aesthetic fidelity but in creating a world that's utterly strange to exist in. This is a violent, painful, but fascinating place, thick with symbolism and interlocking puzzles that hint at some terrifying grand design. While it can be overly obscure and frustrating, especially in combat, Scorn serves up one hell of a journey.

4/5 stars
Scorn is a hard game to pin down, but it’s one I can’t help but recommend. It’s disgustingly alluring in its visual execution, with each new location bringing with it a waterfall of questions as you poke, prod, and cower at every discovery. This ambition of being artsy and cryptic can hold it back at points, but there’s something fiercely admirable in its artistic vision that few games in the genre are able to match. This is a tragic horror of Lovecraftian proportions, and one that really must be seen to be believed.

The Way of All Flesh
This is one of those games that, if I were unemployed, and had no responsibilities, I would recommend playing through in one-sitting. It took me close to five hours to finish Scorn, which some people might find upsetting after waiting all this time to play it, but I think it works in the game's benefit. This is one of those 'experience' games you don't want to unhook from; something grotesque is always developing that will keep your attention. I honestly cannot think of another first-person game where I am contextualizing the protagonist's body within the environment as I play along, it's really something you've gotta see to believe. I'd recommend Scorn if you like things of a philosophical variety and can tolerate a little bit of gameplay jank, similar to 2015's SOMA by Frictional Games. I cannot wait to see what Ebb Software comes up with next because Scorn was exceptional.

Works well on GTX 970, i7-3400 processor
This is just to inform that yes this works fine on High settings on GTX 970 at 1080p resolution. Turned off Motion Blur though, personal preference. I was getting the runtime error on Windows 7, fixed by free upgrade to Windows 10.
