Scorn brings nightmarish first-person horror to Xbox Series X

Ebb Software has debuted its new first-person horror adventure game, Scorn, showcased among the first wave of Xbox Series X titles at Microsoft’s first gameplay showcase. Unveiled via a chilling atmospheric trailer, the trailer offers a grim, gore-heavy tone — a glimpse of the overall setting for the project.

Scorn has been in development for over a decade, with a recent delay seeing the game land among early Xbox Series X titles. The studio stresses an emphasis on the environment as an integral “character” to the experience, with each location featuring distinct stories and puzzles, shaping an identity throughout.

The unsettling tone notably channels themed popularized by H.R. Giger, an artist famed for his contributions toward the Alien franchise.
