Scorn is a very vague game that requires you to progress with little to no information guiding you around its gross corners. As you progress through the first act of the game, you will come across a series of machines on rails. Progress a little farther and you will find a crane that you can use to slide objects around on the wall. This guide will show you how to solve Act 1’s sliding puzzle in Scorn.

You will also see a series of rails on the wall with pods connected to them. At the end, there is a glowing part of the rail. The goal of the puzzle is to get the pods with white marks on them to the end of the rail.

The first step is to slide the pair of pods over that contains one broken pod. Slide them to the point that they are no longer blocking the single pod with white marks. Slide that pod over to the light since the way is now clear.

Activate the grabber arm and it will crush the pod. With that pod out of the way, you need to get the other pod with the white marks to the light. This is much easier said than done. Star by moving the pair of pods with the broken one that you moved earlier back to its original position. Slide the singular pod to be in the corner as well like in the image below.

With those pods moved, move the three single pods on the right side of the rails to the areas marked in the image below. The two pods get placed under the group of four pods while the other single pod gets moved over to the rail below the pair with the broken pod.

Next, move the horizontal pair of pods in
