You might recall Ebb Software’s Scorn, a horror title that was once pitched to gamers through a Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately, the development studio couldn’t quite get the numbers and backers they were looking, although they decided to press on and continue their development. Now we have a brand new teaser trailer that shows off a bit of the in-game living world.
The horror title Scorn is all about immersion with the video game tossing players into a creepy atmospheric world that’s filled with grotesque creatures. One of the ways that Ebb Software is hoping to immerse players into this nightmarish world is by playing the entire game without any cutscenes. In fact, according to the past Kickstarter campaign page, Scorn doesn’t have a conventional plot but instead allows players to interpret the events and themes.
Another interesting aspect that will hopefully allow players to go through Scorn without being taken out of the gameplay experience is that the title will not have an HUD displays. Everything within the world is living and as players progress through the game, new areas will open up, however, don’t expect Scorn to hold your hand. You’ll have to think carefully about how to complete tasks and accomplish game goals.
While combat wasn’t featured within the teaser trailer, the development studio does state that this is an old school survival horror title experience. You’ll have to conserve your ammo and decide on if you should fight or run.
Currently, the Scorn video game is up on Steam Greenlight if you find the teaser trailer worth giving this title a vote to see it release on Steam.
