Ebb Software has released today a new set of beautiful screenshots for SCORN. SCORN is described as an uncomfortable creep through an oozing world of organic otherworldly horror that will be coming to the PC in 2017.
The first person gameplay in SCORN is a glistening combination of gunplay and puzzle solving, with the environment and the creatures it disgorges doing their utmost to confound your progress.
“That’s not to say every inhabitant you meet wants to eviscerate you – many don’t care about you one way or the other, but catch them in a bad mood and they’ll try to tear you apart.”
As the team noted, all the storytelling happens in-game, with no cut-scenes to distract you from the grisly reality of the living, breathing (throbbing, dripping) world you’re in.
Ebb Software’s Ljubomir Peklar said:
“We are trying to create something so unsettling it will make you think about the ideas and themes of the game long after you’ve finished playing.”
The environments in SCORN are entirely handcrafted, firmly bucking the procedural trend, while its storytelling through gameplay, non-linear narrative, and puzzles on a grand scale turn SCORN into an impressionistic horror show of impressive scope and imagination.
Enjoy!

Very detailed geometry. No way consoles will be able to run this.
Not seeing anything impressive, and a lot of it is done via parallax mapping.
I respectfully disagree, i find the look very impressive, regardless of whether its achieved via tessellation or parallax mapping is irrelevant.
Who knows maybe it can target the refresh versions of xb,ps due out early next year. Then they would just gimp the current gen version much in the same way they started gimping 360,ps3 ports for cross gen titles, the dev’s obviously didn’t care bare minimum of effort in most.
For this game, it was a cool trailer, but still tells us nothing about it, guessing its actually pretty early maybe? I liked the gun model but when it didn’t fire the first thought that came to my mind is they either hadn’t implemented effects for weapons or they hadn’t created death animations for the creatures, but ending with gun pointed helps to increase tension or intrigue while letting them be able to have a trailer in an early state while still implying later capabilities (gunplay)
Looks pretty good, got that original Alien movie feeling.
Love the art direction it is very H R.Giger. I hope it turns out good.
It’s gross and nasty and I love it.
I see someone is H.R Giger nr 1 fan here.
A bit of Cronenberg style grotesque art. Love it:)
This looks like that one location at the end of System Shock 2.
looks like Alien
…
Those are some artistic environments.
Wasnt this cancelled because it id not hit the kickstarter goal? I dont know how it is back, but i am glad it is back, you should check out the trailer from a year ago, it is better, i hope they managed to get the music composer back.
might as well say this again, There is a game called heathen, island of doctor Monroe and such, cover that as well, it is in greenlight and looks AAA quality.
HR Giger much? or Zdzis?aw Beksi?ski? not complaining :v
Actually both of them are influences. 🙂
Very well done textures.
This is very disturbing! Seriously i played a lot horror game in my carrier, but this for me it’s very weird. Anyway the art direction it’s very outstanding!
Such a gorgeous looking game, engrossing visual design and strange tone… but then it’s just another godd@mn shooter.
Can’t have any games nowadays that aren’t shooters. *sigh* Disappointed.
Geometry is insane.
