A mysterious animatronic character is positioned on a circular stage, surrounded by swirling fog and intricate, organic set designs, creating an immersive atmosphere reminiscent of a Giger-themed attraction in a cutting-edge adventure park.

Alone and abandoned in a completely alien world, “Scorn” invites you to explore your new environment, deciding when to flee and when to fight.  Nightmarish creatures and creations await your arrival in EBB Games new PC diversion, “Scorn.”

This freaky first person horror adventure features rich, interactive, immersive environments that look like they’ve been ripped right off of the pages of any H.R. Giger art book. Even the eerie environment itself is alive.

Nightmarishly designed to be experienced with a nonlinear approach, “Scorn” is a series of interconnected areas, each playing a subtly sinister role to craft a creepy, cohesive “lived in” world.  Every action has consequences.

Organic material seeps from pulsing, fleshy openings along a dimly lit, biomechanical wall, gathering in glossy pools on the floor—an immersive and spine-chilling visual straight out of Scorn’s horror-themed interactive walkthrough attraction.

Scorn’s website summarizes the experience for interested gamers:

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. Everything has a reason and purpose – you just need to work out what it is.

Immersive, otherworldly cavern attraction featuring Giger-inspired organic architecture, pulsating glowing lights, and dramatic, claw-like structures that create a haunting, thrill-filled atmosphere similar to the world of Scorn.

With limited resources, this adventure must be experienced with thought and care, as the game promises an arsenal of various action approaches required to move forward.

“Full body awareness” brings the promise of a much more immersive experience.  With realistic life-like actions, some tasks depend on dexterity. An example of this would be the game’s requirement to make full use of hands and fingers to properly perform playable actions like obtaining objects.

Experience the chilling thrill of Scorn brought to life: guests grip a bizarre alien weapon as they explore twisted, Giger-esque bio-mechanical corridors, surrounded by immersive lighting and spine-tingling effects that transport them directly into the game’s haunting world.

“Every location contains its own theme (story), puzzles and characters that are integral in creating a cohesive lived-in 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.”

A shadowy, Giger-inspired biomechanical attraction with bone-like ridges looms in a dimly lit, haunting section of the park, capturing the chilling ambiance reminiscent of Scorn’s atmospheric PC adventure.

Built upon the “Unreal 4” game engine, EBB promises that this is not just your average simulator survival game.

SCORN will be released for PC in two distinct parts or chapters, each with its own characteristics.  This was done for more cohesive game play.  EBB promises only the two parts to its nightmare with no additional downloadable content or sequels.

The nightmarish universe that is SCORN is slated to weave its horror sometime in 2017 (for Part 1).

Three alien skulls featuring ridged, elongated heads and beak-like faces are displayed side by side beneath eerie mist effects, creating a spine-chilling ambiance reminiscent of the immersive horror attractions found in top-tier themed entertainment venues like those inspired by the haunting world of Scorn.
