The Pulse Monthly - 9.0
Hey everyone,
It’s been another exciting month for the team here at Ebb Software and the Scorn community at large! On the 21st of September we officially shared Scorn’s prologue with backers and press. The team has really enjoyed seeing all the playthroughs, comments, theories, and feedback shared from the community.
On September 22nd, we ran an AMA on Reddit, providing the community a chance to get answers to the questions they’ve been dying to ask. If you still have some questions, be sure to leave a comment here or reach out via our social channels and we’ll do our best to answer them.
In case you haven’t been keeping a close eye on our social posts, we also had another exciting announcement today.
From fine-tuning animations to wrapping up bug fixes and optimisations, the team has been extremely focused on finalising the game before launch.

So focused, in fact, that we’re going to be releasing Scorn on the 14th of October - an entire week early!
A number of questions have been raised since we released the prologue last week, so we wanted to address those here as well!
Will there be settings to disable motion blur, chromatic aberration, or any other settings?
Thank you for all the feedback around this. We’ve seen a number of requests come in around having an easy way to disable motion blur, and will be implementing this into the final version of the game for launch.
As a temporary workaround to disable motion blur for those of you with access to the prologue, navigate to:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Scorn\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Open Engine.ini with a text editor, such as Notepad, and add the following:
[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
Will the game have any achievements?
Yes! There will be achievements to complete, and for those of you who like to be thorough, you’ll need to play through multiple times in order to 100% the game. As for what they are, you’ll have to wait and see.
Will Scorn work with Steam Deck?
While we have not designed Scorn to work with the Steam Deck or checked for compatibility, we have seen some users successfully run our game on it.
The team has officially wrapped up production and continues to work through resolving a few outstanding bugs before launch. It’s hard to believe that in just a couple of weeks, Scorn will be unleashed upon the world for all to experience. As this will be our last official Pulse update before launch, we wanted to leave you with some thoughts on our journey so far directly from Ebb Software’s CEO and Scorn’s Creative Director, Ljubomir Peklar.
We’re really excited to have almost wrapped up our development of the game and now, with just a few weeks to go, the development team are busy adding final polish to get the game ready for launch. With the launch of the game finally upon us, all of us at Ebb Software team want to thank each and every one of you. We can’t wait for you to plunge into the grotesque experience of Scorn on 14 October.
As always, thank you for all your support, excitement, and encouragement over the years as we worked to bring our vision for Scorn to life. Be sure to follow our Facebook or Twitter for more content as we ramp up for launch and we’ll see you in October for our next update!
