What players say
This is my second play though. I played it last when it came out. This is a disturbing game and it is for sure not for everyone. I think the puzzles are medium difficulty. The game is only 6 hours long, I wish it was a bit longer.

The presentation grabbed me years ago but I only just finally got around to playing it. Come to find out the developers were replicating the art style of H.R. Giger, the guy who actually designed the creature in Alien. Everything in the game is wet, fleshy, and gross and I was into it. The puzzles were a highlight for me too since you basically poke at stuff to figure out what it even does before you can solve it...
The art style inspired by H.R. Giger was the reason I wanted to play Scorn. The rest of the game is the reason why I never want to touch it again.
