Scorn Leak Reveals Creepy Design for Main Character

To some, it feels like approximately forever since Ebb Software first announced its biopunk survival horror game Scorn. Inspired by the works of H. R. Giger and surrealist Zdzisław Beksiński, the game and first trailer were revealed nearly eight years ago in 2014. After an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign, Ebb Software went mostly silent, though fans of the unique first-person title were riled up again when a new teaser trailer for Scorn was released in 2016.

Not much is known about the game so far, other than it has an incredibly evocative art style and features perturbing organic structures in an alien setting. Players take on the role of a humanoid being that seems able to attach a variety of biomechanical weapons to its body, which enable it to battle the creepy enemies that populate the world. The weapons in Scorn seem fairly standard, despite their distinctive look, and trailers have so far revealed a shotgun, pistol, and some type of grenade launcher.

Horror Game Scorn Shows New Clip With a Creepy Creature

Now, a leaker on Twitter called Rebs Gaming has shared images of an early prototype version of the player character, giving eager fans a first look at the creature they’ll be embodying. As one person commented about the tweet, the being “looks good but disgusting at the same time.” It is definitely an interesting concept, with dark sockets rather than eyeballs and long slits beneath the nose instead of a mouth. It’s also important to keep in mind that this may not be what the final character model looks like, and a lot may have changed by the time Scorn launches around Halloween this year.

In the prototype images, the player character doesn’t seem to be wearing any clothes, much like the other life forms glimpsed
