I can't imagine the horrendous stench if smell was a thing in this game.
Would smell like wet pennies for sure
I had that thought too.
3 week old booty meat after non stop tacobell for breakfast lunch and dinner. Mixed with rotting fruit. That's my guess.
Probably a mixture of a butcher and a morgue if neither had refrigeration
Another New York Tuesday 😏
The parasite scenes from a third person perspective look like a ritual
RIP HR Giger. You made an impact on the artworld.
I'm sure he would have actually enjoyed this game
@@penzorphallos3199 He definitely would
Don't forget Zdzilaw Beksinski
@@GldnClaw very true
“I said pickles, Pickles!”
- HR when he saw a certain scene in species
1:54 because they had plans for multiple endings, we were supposed to get back to this place.
Is that what the door in the very very beginning was for?
@@frododododo could be !
@@frododododo Don't you end up going through that door later on as the second character?
@@FissionMetroid101 do you? I don't remember ever seeing it again
@@frododododo You do. It's after time's passed so the area's decayed but it's the same door.
I really, REALLY appreciate how in-depth you've gone into investigating this universe. This feels like more of an art project than a game.
Considering the linearity, lack of more endings, and length, it kind of is.
A very bloody art project
@@tyrongkojy We are in a very strange place in gaming if lack of endings is a slight
@@tbates2906 It is when we were told there would be.
no shit
So sometimes devs will leave extra game assets and crap outside the map for 2 reasons: 1 they want to use it later on possibly, and 2 they forget about it or didn’t feel like cleaning then up. Just fun fact as to why there’s so many random things in games outside the map.
Well if I remember right scorn was way way more intense so much so the publisher refused to publish unless the toned it down.
Ooor they have a leftover animation they scrapped, and want to add a little easter egg.
That's what happened in the very start of the video, with moldman pulling his hand out. You can't see it in the game.
It’s cheaper to load in assets and keep them in memory rather than load them on the fly. Makes rendering them later much quicker and less of a performance hit.
@@thegoldenatlas753 i. need.
@@thegoldenatlas753 Aaaw, if thats the case, that sucks. I hate when publishers do sh*t like that.
I wish the game's primary ending was this bad ending that the vast majority of players would get, but if you did some really specific things that only the most keen players would catch (probably equipped with remarkably esoteric knowledge), that through great difficulty you could unlock a good ending. Although making it so difficult and pretty vague that it could take everyone playing it possibly a year or longer to discover how to get the good ending. Wish that were the case.
It would break the genre its in
go watch tusk or human centipeed its the same genre good ending wasnt really an option
Body horror almost allways had a bad ending one the main common ground is either everyone dies or those who survive are perminently traumatised and changed deformed mutated or mutilated by what happened far past having a normal life
Perhaps there is? And it was not found yet. Guys we will see, huh.
@@demonic_myst4503 well, then having a nuanced ending might be extra engaging. I can't really see a game like this having a happy go lucky ending, but showing you that through determination and knowledge you can change your situation would be awesome (especially if it's an ending that just gives you a little extra exposition, but is still in theme).
In our current age, a "secret" ending isn't really possible anymore. A year or longer? It would've been discovered within hours of the release and spoiled to you through TH-cam thumbnails and titles lol.
Wait I’m i the only one that caught this? On 22:41, if you look above the fully assimilated parasite all the way above the castle, there is literally an angel watching your character, i humanoid angel too. You might be right about that being another form of ascension since they did meld to minds together
Dude. I thought I was the only one. Also, I have so many questions that I was hoping would be shown off-camera in this video but were missed. Like what's behind the first door after the intro cutscene. There were more doors in the first place.
omg yes I thought meeeh just something but thank you for pointing it out!
Have you found anything abt that winged figure ??
Oh wow that’s something new I don’t think we’ve ever seen this form before. So now you could interpret the story as the character is kinda stuck in Hell.
Or one of the properly ascended beings watching in the same way
Scorn is a visual masterpiece! Sure it's short, but the artstyle is just incredible.
It's actually really sad that it was so short, so much untaped potential
@@hdnfbp apparently this is part 1 there’s another part coming out in the future
@@noahacton8448 let's hope
Just remember it is NOT the game studio design but Austrian artists Giger (Xenomorph-Alien creator) and Polish horror artists Beksinski art style fusion .
@@JusticeInGaming_JIG
HR Giger comes from switzerland.😁🇨🇭
24:56 They framed that winged form at the top...you would have to turn around approaching the portal to even notice that. Amazing.
17:53 Fun Fact: Back when scorn was still on kickstarter it was supposed to be split into two parts. Then they raised enough money to do both parts at the same time and started all over again. The First Part would've included everything up to and including the Crater Queen, the only thing from part 2 that made it into the final game was Polis (the wierd Temple with the half assed bossfight) meaning, we really only got part 1 and and a rushed together sneak peek at part 2. And if communication is anything to go by, the devs dont seem to keen to add the missing stuff back into the game wich is really sad because it would make this game so much better.
I really love the style of Scorn, even if it isn't my type of game, the art is amazing.
The forbidden peanut skins
Which is why it should win the award for best art direction but sadly will likely lose to GoW Ragnarok because of popularity.
10:56 Wow!!! Delicious!!!
so taste 🤤🪱🦠
Gotta love H.R. Giger
@@fullmentalalchemist3922 I was just about to say that this game just seems extremely Geiger to me
Seems something went very wrong with the ascension part. Either the accident (the liquid seems to be used to let the higher "elites" to mutate to their ascended form?) mutated an "unclean" specimen. When you aquire your keymechanism, that one seems to be one of the pure "elite" caste who is purosed to ascend in some sort of ritual (he even got the third eye as depicted on the murals).
Either you are just a "worker caste" or the natural way the scorn people are born after a huge amount of time of evolutionary engineering. And they refined that process further to create the perfect specimen, to improve themselves and breed in that pod machine. Like if only a pure perfect specimen can mutate the right way to become the perfect form and ascend further.
My guess here is that the "natural" born not so perfect Scornguy just attemped the same procedure to get out of his misery. While the first one got caught in the accident a long(er) time ago, mutated to an unperfect ascended form. Searching a vessel.
In the book it is mentioned they fuse with a shell and the shell becomes their (the ascended forms) new body. So it could be that Scornguy2 is seen as vessel for that accidentally created "ascended" (unperfect) form of Scornguy1. That's why he could be driven to fuse with him in the end as we've seen.
It may be just a step in between as well, before the full "perfect" (but for natural born Scornguys deformed) form. And in the end, where they fused together, Scornguy1 resembles even more the descriptions in the Book. But just deformed by his not so perfect DNA eventually.
In the end Scornguy2, who also attempted to reach another new way of ascension (maybe the door was a further developement of ascending of the elite caste, while the "parasite" form was a predecessor to that. Another way to get closer to the perfect form to ascend into a new plane of consciousness.), got interrupted by Scornguy1, who attempted the "old" way.
The race of Scorn, these "humans" lived for driving their consciousness to next levels. To perfect "humanity" further. That's why Polis (the Tempelcity) is full of sculptures in explicit poses.
Because feelings and emotions in that state was seen as one of the highest states of consciousness humans can achieve in their normal bodies.
They where also obsessed with birth, some sort of ascending of a living being into the world.
So it could be that Scornguy1 and Scornguy2 wanted to reach total different goals at all. The timespan is not told between Scornguy1s attempt and Scorngu2s attempt.
Maybe the "parasite" form as mentioned in the books was a different "inbetween" step to the door ascension itself. Or the door was a new, improved or the "real deal" of ascension. While the parasite form "just" was a way to improve your own consiousness between your own bodies possibilities. Scornguy1 just stumbled into that part when the accident happened and an "instinct" like urge developed to fuse with a "shell", unfortunately for Scornguy2.
Well, hope the grammer isn't that bad while english isn't native to me. :D
Love this.
Here's my theory the females had died out and the remaining males considered them sacred and put a lot of importance towards them and reproduction, based on the final area's statues and architecture. It's possible, but I could be wrong, that the six-armed machine that was "cutting up" Scorn guy 2, is preparing his body to become a "mother" (a pregnant shell) considering how the machine is only cutting up their abdomen area.
Now here me out, in the artbooks it stated that the "Homunculi" were engineered to be made of psychedelic materials, used to power the "pregnant shells" and they are smart enough to create "cyborgs" by using dead bodies.
Now my theory is, the Scorn guys's species are advanced enough, since they were the ones who created the "Homunculi," to create "surrogates" by using dead body parts, from those who were "sacrificed" by the same ritual that Scorn guy 2, along with the others that are found in that area, had went through, the "sucking machine" was collecting what would be his last "genetic material" that will processed to be used for creating more members of his species. And it may or may not be the liquid that turned Scorn Guy 1 into the parasite.
My other theory is that the Parasite (Scorn Guy 1) is compelled to bond with a host, but because Scorn Guy 1 is "underdeveloped" compared to the "Elites" it's possible that the Parasite is trying to become a something similar to the "Crater Queen," and eventually becoming a new "Genesis Wall." At the end, the parasite has grown tremendously and anchored itself to the ground with no hope of ever moving again, much like the Crater Queen, and she and the creatures in the game, has similar characteristics to the Genesis Wall since they both create new life (though "underdeveloped") and the Wall is made entirely of flesh packed together, much like how the environment is where the creatures are "born" from, and they share the same "pale, rotting" look as pointed out by IGP when showing the Wall.
@@IGP I just finished watching your video, but have you noticed around 24:32-24:47, when your describing the Parasite being similar to the Ascended creature, in the background, the statues for some reason share some features similar to the Crater Queen? With their long necks, big heads and long arms sticking out in front of them.
Yeah, I automatically assumed Scornguy1 was not in control when he became a parasite. However, If that were the case, who would be the one in control? In actuality, Scornguy1 had the same mission, just a different form. Because in a world where sympathy and human morals seem to be bred out of the species, I doubt Scornguy1 gave two cares about Scornguy2’s objective.
@@tsnoob4669 Yes.. You are right..
Everyone treated this game like a darker version of doom, which is why the ratings plumetted
This is a horror game, not an action game. They only gave you a weapon as a last resort
I wouldn't even consider it a horror game. Its more of an experience in a horror atmosphere.
@@buzzin533 no shit
@@thebeef3639 It is a walking simulator , 95% of the fighting is unnecessary since enemies despawn and never come back when you let them wander away , it shouldn't be in the game in the first place.
People were disappointed not because of the fighting , but because the game is incredibly short and because there is very little in term of gameplay, the waiting wasn't worth it.
This should have been an animated movie.
@@AdvancedKrizalid finally someone got it. Man, this game would have been so much better if it was more puzzle heavy, like Myst. With puzzles that would be extremely insane, but logical at the same time. By doing such puzzles, you would have to 'understand' the game logic, and once you do, it would be easier to understand the story. In its current form, the game feels more like a pretentious piece of art. Most people will remember it for being weird and with numerous gross sexual references.
More like "Agony" if we have to compare
i don't know if anyone else noticed this but those statues at 20:14 look a lot like the crater queen, especially with those long, droopy necks and lanky limbs. also, the statues at 14:40 being obviously pregnant women and the one at 14:05 having clear phallic imagery really imply this concept of birth, and how ascension is essentially like a second birth, right down to the gate at the end heavily resembling the female reproductive system. i also noticed that certain places look a lot cleaner, while still keeping a biomechanical look that reminds me of the matrix. obviously there are some areas of the game where this is not the case, leading me to agree with him that the humans were breeding each other too quickly at an ascended level (if this is earth, scornguys aren't normal humans- they've already progressed through some parts of the process) and some form of virus or std was released, mutating everything into the blood and gore we see in the game. i don't believe it was always like that. but keeping with these themes of birth, and right down to scornguy's failure to make it through the gate, i ultimately think its meant to symbolize a miscarriage. the c-section imagery, the scoop or saw puzzle, everything leads me to believe that its not just mindless gore, but a lesson to make sure you're ready to bear a child, because the results if it goes wrong are catastrophic. a minor side note, but during the second operation scene (16:09), a tube attaches to his reproductive organ, which leads me to believe they were harvesting some sort of ascended sperm that can fertilize something else, like the parasite when scornguy 1 dies after the cannister of it falls on him and exposes him. i don't know if any of this actually made sense, but i had several epiphanies at once, and this game has done things to me lol
And I read this comment 9 months later. If that's not a sign, I don’t know what is x)
this game made waves for the horror art community: and as a horror artist, i couldn't be more happy.
Haha neat.
Happier*
A lot of people think Scorn is a bad video-game. And sure it's not the most mechanically interesting *game*. But as interactive art? Holy shit does it succeed.
@@remigusker6024 I see scorn as more of an interactive art gallery more than a game.
@@Drew-hl3mc neither one is wrong
Very disappointing people didn't enjoy this game... It was mostly meant as an art exhibit than it was to be an actual game. I loved it, was amazing to explore the landscapes that they came up with.
It works as a proper body horror game
its beautifully done however people were disappointed because the story is different and shorter than we were led to believe. we spent years waiting for this game and it seems like they changed the concept of the game entirely. most were expecting this combat focused game with multiple endings based on your moral decisions and you didn't get that.
An art exhibit is a literal walking simulator game in real life, this game has puzzles at least and body horror.
People don't like games that you like, oh no.
The reason why people didnt like the game is because they play the game like call of duty, they died alot because they think they should play the game like shooter but in reality it doesnt and they didnt know it and they mad about it despite the trailer cleary state that the game are not a shooter in the first place.
scorn is clearly the sort of game that gets overlooked right now. but then later on. it finally clicks with people as a haunting, despairing masterpiece of fiction.
yeah...fiction...
Just like Soma.
You can see the idea, but the execution is flawed. But Scorn will go on to influence the people who make less flawed executions of the idea.
@@dewhi100 I look at this game as a proof of concept. If they create a sequel or another game in the same vein as this, I think it will be a lot better.
@@WobblesandBean playing through soma and scorn right now they are both amazing
The position of the human part of the parasite's face in the final looks wrong, inverted. Throughout the game, he had the left human half of his face, but in the finale, it becomes the right half.
I thought that was the original person’s face
I guess as it grew the human parts of the parasite just overgrew and pushed onto other parts of the body, making way for the rest of the mutation.
IGP does show in the ending that apparently it did regrow the head full for a while before forcing the new head to be shoved in and become malformed.
Those are actually aliens not close to human even
Well I guess since the 'parasite' didn't want the protagonist to go through or wanted to go with him but hindered him instead, the protagonist still determined to reach higher heights, caused it to start mutating/evolving him into that 'ultimate being'...
The ultimate paper holder
and yet it's the parasite that gives us the weapon

@@fishiesgaming What a bro
This game is disgusting, horrifying, and beautiful all at the same time loved every second of it I wish there was more to the ending.
I have trypophobia and seeing those holes with things coming out of them sent horrible waves of grossness through me 😂

That means u are Afraid of tripods?
@@ACowIsHuge absolutely

11:16 This is definitely inspired by that frog species that gives birth through its back.
The Surinam Toad. Cute little back babies.
I don't even know what console/pc this is on and I'm totally enamored by it. The HR Geiger-esque art is gorgeous. Looks beautiful. Like who the fuck thought this shit up and put it in a game?!
It's on gamepass
Big Giger fan myself
I could almost smell all the flesh and blood and decay while going through this game. My mind would periodically short circuit when it remembered that the entire space, the floor, walls, literally everything is made of bone and guts
I hope this team keeps making games in this universe. It's gross, it's gorgeous, it evokes the best of H.R. Giger's work. I love what we got but damn I want more!
Yes!! I have collected H.R. work for several years.. when I saw this I was ecstatic! 🖤🤘
Gorgeous?
And zdislav why do people ignore zdislav goddamnit
@@jefflanong8361 Yea, its beautiful in its own grotesque way.
I agree, I'd love to see more of this. I know people say the gameplay/content is lacking, but I liked that minimalist approach. I'm all about atmosphere and setting when it comes to a game, over anything else. And this one was dripping (quite literally) with that.
that cinematic section you put together at 13:39 was incredible, love the combination of the visuals and soundtrack. mad props for giving this game some well deserved love in that aspect.
The parasite grew so fast in the end cause now the guy could not fight back as much and now had more time to continue his gG it’s work from before and even then the fade to black sequences lead me to believe it took way more time than what we’re seeing.
Matrix originally was meant to use humans not as batteries (which is silly), but as processing power
Hence the matrix could even be hacked with human mind from the inside
13:58 what was the people who built this statue smoking when they made it💀
seeing that final scene of assimilation/ascension in third person and hearing your theory took the story to a new level for me. its so obvious how much the artists cared about the world of scorn beyond its sheer gross out factor. I'm not intending on playing the game but i'll probably buy the artbook now.
18:55 "breeding for resourses" reminds me of "if your not having kids who's going to take care of you when your older?"
The parasite in the book is like...the perfect form
But since there was a malfunction during the prologue mission, I do believe it corrupted the process and it mutated the parasite to an inferior form
Can u elaborate? What does the book say about the parasite and it being perfect?
@@MisterK-YT i'm sorry but I don't have the book
I got this intel from some lore vids I found 10 months ago
I feel like there’s so much behind the scenes because they didn’t end up making the game they originally wanted to. I think it had a much bigger scope.
I never truly appreciated Scorn's art until now. That compilation and seeing the attempted transcendence gave me such a weird inexplicable feeling.
Like seeing something outside of our capacity to comprehend. It wasn't dread or horror, I can't think of what you call that feeling.
Awe.
@@brianirwin8111
It was sort of like awe but in a sense creepy.
The second protagonist was about to reach the point of ascension when the first protagonist latches on and completes the consumption of his flesh. So you're literally seeing the visual representation of a higher being being rendered only in death because it was made flesh.
@@linkinparkrulz2275 oh damn. So it did transcend... but not how it wanted.
Existential dread, maybe?
This is why you were the first TH-camr that I subscribed to. Your curiosity about the lore of the games that you play and what the creators were trying to communicate. It's awesome that you pay attention and explore this because so many others just dont get this deep. Appreciate the content IGP. Thank you.
Not played this game yet but it seemed to me more of an art and a tribute to H.R. Giger than an actual game. Not sure how the game plays but the art style in it's own way is beautiful. There are games that meant to tell a short story others have many meaningless content to extend a gameplay.
11:00 Holy fuck my tryphobia just acted up
Oh man I decided to order the physical artbook and I am just so excited for it! This game is a complete work of art and I can't wait to learn more about the artistry that went into it.
10:55 this happens in real nature aswell. For example there is a type of frog i think that grows its babys in its back. and they pop out eventually
its also some level of practicality in the details. less models need to be made if you just put the full one off screen, loading in the full assets before their fully used saves on loading.
I also think the end could be a brain, and you're going into between the two hemispheres
11:10 The Surinam Toad is exactly like that. The eggs are developing under the skin on her back and a few months later the toadlets latching through the skin of their mother. Maybe that toad was a reference here?
My wife in the 40s
Lol@@Sadeness99
Seeing the ascended form, I got huge H.P Lovecraft vibes, especially with the idea of jumping into other minds and such. And the whole idea of that entire structure being made up of organic material really freaks me out, the entire thing being grown rather than built. Had it never been said this was on Earth, I would have thought this to be some dystopian alien civilization overcome with some unknown infection. Really cool game, thx for sharing this IGP.
Final form reminds me of Mi-Go. I'm not sure they're like that but description in games and books is quite similar.
For reallll I love this stuff! Wish lovecraft stuff was more mainstream, so much untapped potential for story! Look at bloodborne for example
So impressive how the developers actually did all the hidden animations and so many details. Really loved this game and I'm waiting for the hard cover book that's coming out it 2023
The Art direction, Models, Animation, atmosphere... story "when read in the art book" is all amazing. Absolutely amazing. But the GAME NEEDED MORE *GAME*
fr I could have played it for so much longer
Yer name ? LMAO !
6:30 They animate him because he's a copy of an asset that they use outside of the pod. They created him to be outside flopping around; may as well use him there, too, I guess? You never know when and where a producer might just decide to have one or more of those pods open up.
Thank you so much for doing this. I loved watching your Scorn paythrough, as I feel you were the only one that really grasped the ugly beauty of it all, getting pulled in. I loved the little video you made of the "flybys" set to music, and would love to see more like that if you ever decided to make another.
thank you for your investigations man ! It really put some light on this crazy game, and the level of detail is so dense ! I really enjoyed your video ! :)
the parasite, the player and the ascended form with the third eye are all three stages of consciousness... combining into one being, like animal man and god as one... trippy crap man
I agree the artbook is fantastic. Not only the pictures but also the way its written, is really beautiful
This is such a brutal AND well made game! Creepy as all hell too lol
25:30 The ascended form literally is a sperm cell.
The Scorn team proved they can create nice looking art. Now they just need someone who will put their skills in use to make more gaming game.
I don’t think fun gameplay would go well with an experience like scorn, where everything is meant to be gross and depressing, but I do think if they ever make an actual game they need to improve their gameplay a lot
They need storyteller from cdp
@@calebschaeferrr you can have gameplay passages that are more action filled where you go crazy in quake like manner with these super creative guns you could make out of of this art style. Then have passages where the cutscenes calm down or where its more riddle focused. Not that hard
@@johannesschmitz6370 gotcha
i wish the cutscene at the end of the game would cut to YEARS LATER and see if the parasite had grown into something like the crater queen
I always love the videos on this channel. Its just always well edited, thought out or hilarious. Thank you for your dedications. Keep it up😁
Worst part of the game is when it ends; I wanted to spend more time exploring this alien civilisation. Could've literally been a 50-100 hour long walking sim, I loved every second of it even though combat was more annoying than fun. I want to remain in their world, repeat playthroughs just don't scratch that itch!
Those "Aliens" is human race from future
@@jakubmiejski6241pretty much 😳 crazy
@@roooseerim7823 IKR
Word. Especially after that last level. Holy cow, that left me with so many questions. I may be totally wrong here, but to me, the entire game felt like purgatory.
Purgatory is described as a final punishment/trial of suffering, to cleanse your soul before moving onto heaven. And the way your character is robbed of its flesh, with all the muscle exposed, and there's so many violently invasive things that happen to you, and then in the end your ruined body is carried towards what looks like the heavenly gates, its like the entire game was your character passing through the various planes of hell on its way to the final resting place.
@@BattleBladeWarrior do you think that the player character was possibly,,denied’’ at the end? 🤔
But I get what you mean. I like the ending because it wasn’t something that we would except.
I do have to say that the ending left a well known feeling behind.
They detailed the behind god damn 10:50
Scorn Devs: Our ending is going to be so depressing!
Players: Ha ha. Milk machine.
Lolm I loved that they did not shy away from that level of bleakness.
@@BattleBladeWarrior It IS super bleak, I'll give them that. Personally, I see Scorn as more of an interactive art piece rather than a full-fledged video game. It's really pretty in a macabre sort of way but I didn't exactly enjoy it as a game - especially since the story is revealed by reading the ART BOOK ( an outside piece of media) which is textbook "Don't tell your story this way."
@@SatyrToon yea that's understandable. I'm actually rather surprised they did that.
Being that the game did indeed play more like an art piece, I'd have expected them to leave the storyline as vague as possible, (as far as the artbook goes) so each person comes up with what it all means, similar to the way different people might view the same painting, but all find a different meaning from it.
Wow! The artistry in this is unbelievable! So much work that wasn’t used or realized. Thank you IGP! Disturbing as much as it is beautiful.
This is horrifying but awesome at the same time 🤣
This vid is fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this. It makes me appreciate the game so much more. While I was playing, I sooo wanted to just wander off and explore this amazing world, and you helped us do that. And I'm so glad about little dude in the beginning.
Absolutely loved that, thanks for uploading and giving us a peek, was like an out of body experience lol...

@@tonoornottono ur missing the point
@@tonoornottonoThe human mind can capture hell as the people that populate in places like heaven or hell are no different from us. They're living and occupying a space.

Are you kidding?! It's amazing, truly delicious, don't tell me you don't wanna eat all those bio mechanical things
This style and genre truly terrifies me, I'm not quite fond of it usually, but this is so well done
I really love it, this is a beautiful game, and really really cool artbook !
It's so cool when you do deep dives into the game like this. It's nice to just be able to be formless and look around at everything.
All of the eyes look so…sad 🥲
Wow this is so cool!! Seeing all this now and hearing/seeing about the art book... im surprised the game wasn't longer and that they hid so many details... it was in development for so many years so it's crazy to think about how many more years it would have taken to make this game like 12 hours long. I wonder how big the crew was and if this was their full time gig throughout all those years...

IGP: Wow isn’t that nice?
Me (who has trypophobia): 😰noo
This is a universe where the "5 Second Rule" never works
This game is so immense, I was like having a lucid dreaming while playing it! What a masterpiece not similar with anything else I've seen!
Absolutely awesome insight into what seem to be one of the talked about games at the moment! I know it just a theory, but with the ending it had you feel that your video has a little explanation to a crazy game 👍🏾
18:26 - The artbook outright states they have a skull / extra "face" on their back to symbolise seeing all sides at all times, being fully aware of their surroundings in that state.
Also yes, Moldmen are grown and packaged in those "eggs" for transport, and they're used as building materials as well as everything else. The organic nature of the walls, meaty interiors with a bone outer, are constructed using creatures as raw materials. They don't go into detail how they shape and construct everything, but that's how it's done.
I'm guessing buildings being "alive" means they don't need electricity or fuel anymore, other than somehow "feeding" the buildings to stop them from dying and rotting away.
I've been searching for more info on yt, but i'm glad you have done a better job to explain to us then every other video i saw. Thanks a lot i really appreciate this truly masterpiece.
Thank you so much for providing this perspective IGP... It's mesmerising! It makes me think of how some people use each other to get what we want, and in the process destroy each other without thinking about it. Fascinating.
1:46 I felt so bad, in the game whenever your brining them to be freed, they seemed much more calmer. And when seeing the player, they seemed to calm down as well. Plus its just adorable how they follows after the player even when the player is just using them to open doors they still follow after, and its heartbreaking seeing them just standing there, staring at the door where the player went while just waiting. Most definitely waiting for the player to come back or possibly the door open so they can follow after.
the parasite mother gave me horrible flashbacks to pipa pipa/surinam toads. their eggs come up through their back, and they release tadpoles through the holes the eggs create. it's gross.
Hey igp!!! I've been watching for a while and I love your videos! I've always enjoyed watching whenever life gets slow, thank you for making content!!
24:35 up in the background there’s a silhouette of what looks like an angel
24:57
Its probably that woman statue that you see on the left when you enter the Polis
there's has been another theory that the parasite and the main character are originally born as one, they are a 2 faced species (front and back). You can see this reference in the game and the art book. they were somehow separated, and then the main character was "reborn" from the wall alone. the parasite is actually following its instinct to meld with the main character again.
and this story is likely about about this spices is trying to abandon their physical body and ascent to a higher level (via hive mind or something) but the main character failed in the end
23:21 Kind of also reminds me of the cocoons at the beginning of the game. It’s almost like with the death of the parasite and it’s host, new life is still born… from a stillborn!
THIS IS SO COOL. Thanks for giving us extra looks and lore :D
11:05 Inspiration from the Surinam Toad!
for some reason i can't stop watching videos about this game i only played it for 1 hour then rage quit and uninstalled it then watched mapocolops playthrough and since then i just wanna know more and more
thats such a waste.
This is an amazing world and art direction hindered by some of the absolute worst combat I've ever seen. It would have been a far better game with a more OUTLAST approach - that is, being helpless against the monsters and having to hide\escape.
5:05 someone just farted on the wall, there is no reason to overanalyze it
I was intrigued by the artbook I bought it. Love that they properly reference all the old era artist before the contemporary and modern ones.
That simple edit at 3:02 had me in tears omg.
That's so stunningly awesome. Thanks a lot! A cinematic flight over the city looks breathtakingly!!!
the game really is a representation of itself. Everything feels like it wasnt finished just like the game they had in mind never was finished. Its really sad since there was so much more potential
👍
Exactly, is not exactly bad but half-assed. Like when they were done with their overloaded body horror aesthetics they lost interest on everything else and they left it half way.
@@Asterion608 I think you discredit the devs very much by telling the game "half-assed" and assume the devs "lost interest". It's more like they had a vision that unfortunatley in the end was simply far too big for them to make it real. You have to take into account that Scorn is far from an AAA-Title, development startet with a team of only 4(!) people back in 2016. Honestly, I'm quite surprised that Scorn was released at all instead of being abandoned at some point AND all in all is a good game.
Of course, it's noticable all throughout the game that the devs had something way bigger in mind and were forced to massively cut down on content. That's unfortunate, but a small team can't work on a game like this forever, it has to be finished eventually. I think, when the devs had to decide what to concentrate and spend their limited time and resources on, they prioritized the aesthetics and atmosphere as these the game's main selling points, which let the actual gameplay fall flat somehow. But I think this was the right choice. The gameplay is mediocre, yes, but really - I don't play Scorn for the gameplay-mechanics anyway.
In the end, Scorn isn't perfect, but if you want to blame the devs for something, than that they hoped to achieve more than was realistically possible. And you have to give them credit that they still made a unique game, and I'm very, very glad Scorn became reality and didn't end up as one of those many, many game projects that "would have been amazing" but are never finished.
This is brilliant. The art of scorn is incredible, and your bts tour is equally so. Thanks.
This was so cool to watch.
And strange.
But beautiful at the same time.
And disturbing.
Help.
you need jesus in your life.... like me🥲
Word "beautiful" sucks
@@JK-nj3bt I don't understand what you mean.
But the impression you leave me with is that you're attempting to make fun of me.
Thanks for the ride, just so cool to see how Mr giger influenced so many people around the world and myself, such a piece of art
i love your appreciation clip starting at 13:40
as a lover of Art, i see that you are a man of culture as well. when playing such games i do stand still from time to time and take in all the wonderous creations the devs came up with. aside from gameplay driven games such as dota or doom, i do like games like scorn especially for its creativity in art design. was a pleasure to watch, will check out the artbook as well
I don't enjoy gore much but that game gives me an interesting feeling I've never felt before. It's pretty nice to experience even if it's completely different to what was shown years ago.
Holy crap I got so many goose bumps during that portion with the visual showcase
Dude your humor makes this go down easier. Thank you for the splains!
I feel like this place was a factory for constructing the shells for the consciousness' while also being a place to facilitate the transferal of the consciousness into the shell. But, something went horribly wrong and now it's like this. A desolate waste with it's true purpose corrupted.
Seems more like in The Matrix, where the breeding energy fields were outside of the machine city. You don't want to experience the slaughter house and production facility. You just want your burger and your lights to work. The devs are saying it's not an alien world but the far far future where earth has no more natral resources and so cannibalizes life itself.
