What the hell is Scorn? This icky survival horror will leave Game Pass subscribers squirming

^ Stay tuned after the announcements for smooth PC images and review impressions.
The extremely weird, eerily meaty, eerily phallic survival horror thing inspired by HR Giger Disdain finally arrives at Gamepass. But, beyond the Promethean aesthetic, what the hell is it about?
Well… redistribution of eggs and putting things in holes. And it could be one of the most interesting Next Gen experiences to date: something that leans so heavily and unequivocally into its aesthetic, no matter how unsettling things get, that you have to admire it just for the sight of it. There hasn’t been a major release focused on grossing out audiences in this way since Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, and if anything, Scorn is even more revolting.
But there’s more to Scorn than the pictures, and it’s a fascinating world to explore…if you’ve got the stomach and the patience for a few obtuse puzzles. As Kelsey points out in her review, Scorn is an exercise in environmental storytelling, eschewing cutscenes and exposition in favor of simply letting the player piece things together for themselves. It doesn’t provide all the answers, leaving much of its deeper meaning open to interpretation: and it’s all the more compelling as a result.
A fitting tribute to HR Giger, then.
Disdain is available now in personal computer Y Xbox Series X|Sand it’s a Day One release on xbox game pass.
