Scorn is an upcoming first-person shooter horror game developed by Serbian indie developer Ebb Software and published by Humble Bundle for Microsoft Windows.
Plot
The developers have claimed to design the game around the idea of "being thrown into the world", and as such, very little context is given about the game's setting. The player controls a strange skinless humanoid, lost in a nightmarish world filled with odd creatures and macabre tapestry, resembling a living techno-organic structure composed of steel, flesh and bone. Isolated and lost inside this surreal world, the player will explore different interconnected regions in a non-linear fashion, searching for answers that will explain more about the game's world.
The developers have explained that they want to make the unsettling environment to be a character in of itself. Every location contains its own theme (story), puzzles and characters.
Development
Scorn was first announced on November 12, 2014 (with a release of a trailer "Scorn pre-alpha footage") followed by an unsuccessful campaign on Kickstarter in December 2014, but despite that the game remains in development with a planned two-part release (the studio said that the game will not receive any future DLC, Expansions, or Sequels). In january 2015, Scorn has received private funding from an investor and began into full production in February 2015. The first part is called Dasein (German pronunciation: [ˈdaːzaɪn]) is a German word that means being there or presence (German: da "there"; sein "being") from Martin Heidegger philosophie, and is often translated into English with the word existence. The game will be available on Steam and Humble Bundle website.
