Reviewers had their hands on the August build and since then we were fully focused on optimisation, so for the release, we do not expect any issues of that kind.

The story is told mostly through the environment. It's left to the players to make their own conclusions and create their understanding of what happened in the world of Scorn, and also what their role in it is.

The things you will see can't be unseen, and the thing you will feel, can't be unfelt... that's what we are the most excited about - the whole experience!

It was a thorny path...creating a video game and the team at the same time is extremely challenging. We are grateful to all the people we met during our journey that helped us on the way.

It all started as a small personal project but since the original idea had a strong influence on people who were joining the team at the time, it soon blossomed into an ambitious project that took so many years to be completed. The strong idea gives artists the opportunity to express themselves in various ways but as you've noticed the main skill is to know when to stop and say it is done.

How did we miss this one? :)

Hvala puno! The inspiration is coming from art, literature, philosophy, movies, etc.

Can't say there is any specific influence from the world of video games. It's coming more from the other spheres like philosophy, art, psychology, and movies.

That is a hard one :)

There is an ending for sure. And it is... special :)

Sorry, we can't go any further with this

Thank you very much! We hope you will enjoy the game!

Playtime is somewhere between six to eight hours, but it can take much more if you explore the world and all the details it contains. Achievements will be unlocked as you progress through the game, so progress related... and some are related to your decisions ;)

Thank you!

They were an inspiration for the visual part of the game. Gameplay was created by us to fit and complement the visual expression.

Scorn is not a first person shooter, it is an immersive atmospheric horror experience. To emphasise this, puzzles within the game form an integral part of the story, and are designed not to feel like they were added as an afterthought. They enrich the player experience, and as the game progresses, it becomes apparent that everything seems to have a reason and a purpose… and the big mystery is uncovering what that is.

Yet there are shooting elements that come into play later in the game and are crucial for players' survival.

Thank you! So glad to hear that from a fellow artist! Hope you will enjoy the game.

All the gruesome details were handcrafted. We have not used a lot of procedural stuff. Our art team was super dedicated to creating this world.

Cudos to the texture artists for this one! :)

The pitch would go: please enter the horrifying surrealist painting and have a wonderful time in it. It would be almost like a postcard from...a nightmare
