what is the games story?

[bloodwolf696]

i was one of the kickstart backers and asked roughly what is the story of the game? i own it now, and its a great/interesting game but still not entirely sure what the story is. i have a gut feeling its lovecraftian after playing for a bit. with the demo i thought they were going for more of a "soul trapped in hell" theme similar to agony but the tech in the game wouldn't add up then. any ways ill get back to playing it, i like it. its the day of the release so i know there will be bugs.

if there's a story then i missed it

I wish I know what the hell is going on.
Only thing I can imagine is... Everything is dream.
In dream, nothing makes sense but you think that you know what you are doing.

They prob cutted it out

The story is pretty obvious. You are this Scorn guy on an alien planet and have to figure out what is going on, survive, give birth, progress, die. Simple life story.

the story is up to you to interpret. Is it the story of scorn man and his symbiote? is it a story of the world? whats the contents of taht story?

i can give a rough overview of what i pieced together but its mostly just the history of the world that you can understand through playing the game yourself and thinking critically about everything you stare out.

I think the fact that in god knows how many trailers, they never released a story trailer that showed the plot, the main characters, etc, was very telling (and equally worrisome).

Now that the total lack of a plot, and any sort of character or worldbuilding that comes with it has been confirmed, I'm Glad I stayed away.

Like they said in the trailer;

Scorn has been carefully crafted with great attention to detail. Everything is focused on building a specific atmosphere. From a unique organic ecosystem, to an unsettling soundscape created by ethec and lustmord. Scorn has no dialogue, so most of the storytelling comes from the environment. Discovering the ever-present symbiotic relationships and how things are connected equips you with the tools to progress. While there is shooting in the game, Scorn is not a shooter.

I think the landscape and surroundings paint the story of what is going on.. quite clearly.

This is a game for those artistically inclined, and pay attention to the details on a level much deeper than what most people can see at first glance.

If you haven't picked up on the story by act 3 or 4, you probably never will.

Don't mean to be condescending or rude in the remark, but not everyone is exposed to art enough these days.

And I mean "True Art", not cookie cutter mainstream stuff that passes as art.

the game ahs plenty of plot, character, and worldbuilding. theres just no one to tell any of it to you. Act like its dark sousl adn stare at all the way things move and how they interact/connect, the world tells the story.

scorn's way of telling the story is told very differently than darksouls and you just don't seem to understand the story also you don't understand the meaning of the word symbiote

[Overlord XON]

The story is a retelling of the oldest story itself... life. Sounds stupid and maybe boring, but it is what it is. The way it was told, was pretty abstract, but interesting nonetheless.
