Due to Scorn’s ambitious scope, the team had to cut down some of its more unique ideas and levels. The first cut location is The Blasted Labyrinth, which was supposed to be a transitional area between The Crater and The Tower (another cut location). The artbook confirms I was right. There is method to the madness, even if the developers themselves don’t understand all of it. A civilization so fully dependent on technology flesh itself becomes part of the mining-refining-manufacturing-recycling process. Life becomes part of the machine that sustains humankind, and the body is no longer sacred. What happens to society when technology has progressed this far is the stuff of nightmares.

Any story that is told in the game is done via environmental storytelling. The Scorn - The Art of the Game e-book is published by Titan Books, a division of Titan Publishing Group Ltd.

NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

I get it. I get it. Scorn is a work of obscurantist fiction, it's themes evident but its meaning deliberately obtuse. We're meant to have "interpretations", not clarity, or easy explanations, or "lore" Whether or not the world suffer some sort of apocalyptic event/war or was simply abandoned due to humanoids of the Polis transcending it. The female Moldmen do indeed have some shapely figures, with their breasts and vaginas out in the open. Too bad they're all corpses.

After the End: Whatever this factory was supposed to accomplish, it's now just filled with corpses and hostile creatures. The world itself is completely dead, with only crater creatures and Homunculi left to populate this husk of a planet. Stealth Pun: One of the many tools in the environment seems to be a buzzsaw that looks skeletal in structure. In case you were wondering, yes, it is indeed a literal bone saw. It is designed around the idea of "being thrown into the world". Isolated and lost inside this dream-like world, you will explore different interconnected regions in a non-linear fashion. The unsettling environment is a character itself. All There in the Manual: There's a bit more lore available in the concept art book that was released at the same time as the game, which gives more details on certain elements and names a number of creatures and places. The lore of the game is very similar to that of the Engineers of Prometheus. Their story revealed in an early version of the script. They, too, stopped reproducing, and the remedy for that was to be the discovery of xenomorph and his blood, which, through the disintegration of the body, sowed new life on the planets. The setting proper is in the rotting ruins of a biomechanical civilization. All technology seems to be made from bone, chitin or steel as the framework structures, with bubbling flesh as the interactive medium. Every machine the player interacts with oozes, drips and generally disperses all sorts of unhealthy-looking liquids, with blood being so prevalent it might just be what fuels the whole environment.Abnormal Ammo: The gun you're equipped with—an acid trip of biotech all on its own—fires little blobs that look like luminescent seeds.

Decoy Protagonist: The character you start as in the prologue is not the one you spend the rest of the game playing as. Phallic Weapon: It is a game inspired by Giger, you better expect your weapons to look highly phallic, with the piston gun being the most phallic of them all.
