Another issue that can hold the game back is major performance issues that cause FPS drops even in high-end rigs. It can feel too unnerving and disgusting at times. Its atmosphere has a strong and disturbing characteristic that certainly isn’t made for everyone. It doesn’t have cutscenes and much of the story is told through exploration and gameplay. Players have different skills, weapons, and items to unlock. The world is composed of interconnected levels with a non-linear structure, each having its own story, puzzles, and characters. It doesn’t startle players, but makes them feel uneasy and disturbed by its living, breathing world that can only be described as alien. This horror game doesn’t rely on age-old horror tricks such as jump scares, chase scenes, and QTE events. The quality of visual and sound effects complement the intricate amalgamation of flesh and machine that makes up the game’s world. It has an obsession with detail that is rarely seen in most horror game titles. In this disturbing adventure, the gameplay is secondary while the presentation takes centerstage. It isn’t a horror game either not in a traditional sense. Scorn isn’t a shooter, a puzzle-solver, or a walking simulator.
