Ebb Software’s H. R. Giger-inspired horror game Scorn has been delayed into 2020.

This postponement is the latest for the long-in-development project, which raised almost EUR€200,000 via a Kickstarter campaign in late 2017. At that time, the game was envisioned to release in two parts, with the first projected to release in October last year.

However, in August last year, the team announced it had received external funding that would allow it to release Scorn in one piece, then expected to be ready at some point this year.

The latest update reveals that Ebb Software is currently working on completing the environment and systems, though it succeeded in achieving an “important internal milestone” in July. Key systems that have been implemented recently include character healing, full body awareness for the main character, and “three more huge puzzle systems, some spanning the entire levels.”

Following these achievements, the team is “taking a small breather before pushing forward.” Furthermore, the update included no further information about a prospective release date.

Scorn has been in development since 2014, and the team is dedicated to delivering a polished product, without the teething issues that have plagued other Kickstarter-funded projects, such as Agony or The Mighty No. 9.
