The Pulse Monthly - 11.0

Hey everyone!

It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since we began posting these Pulse Monthly updates. Since the game has officially launched, we’ll be winding down the frequency of these to focus more on highlighting patch notes and providing updates on backer rewards or any additional exciting news we’d like to share with the community.

As the community manager, I want to say it’s been an absolute pleasure getting to share these behind-the-scenes updates with the community and provide some insight into what the team has been working on. Thank you for taking the time to share your screenshots, fanart, experiences and interpretations of Scorn, as it’s made the experience all that more meaningful.

Patch 1.2.1.0 is Now Live


We appreciate all of the comments and suggestions so many of you have made. We are listening and implementing changes accordingly. The latest patch is another quality-of-life update, which includes the implementation of FSR 2.1 and a number of bug fixes, such as:

  • NPC respawning after loading the game.
  • Scripted animation replaying after loading the game.
  • Reduced "Use" action range on the main door console in ACT I.
  • Mistplane light issue on ACT II.
  • The main character gets stuck in ACT V.
  • Selecting the "Windowed mode" changes the resolution.
  • Various issues with the environment.

As with last time, if you end up experiencing technical issues, please ensure your graphics drivers and Windows OS is up-to-date (if you’re on PC), and that your system meets the minimum system requirements.

If the above doesn’t resolve the issue, please fill out this form with as much detail as possible to assist with troubleshooting and give us the best chance of addressing these issues in an upcoming patch!

Backer updates


While we were aiming to have the production of physical items completed by mid-November, there have been some further delays due to the ongoing global supply chain issues. Although slower than we had originally hoped, the good news is that things are still progressing here. It looks like we should be receiving the remaining materials sometime this week, but will wait to provide shipping updates until everything is in and finalised. In the interim, here’s a preview of how some of the items turned out!



A Feast for the Senses


Many of you have asked about the availability of the art book and soundtrack since the deluxe edition promotion ended! We’re currently in the process of getting these items listed for sale separately for those in the community who already own the base game but still wish to own a copy of the art book or OST. We’ll be sure to announce as soon as these are available.



This week, Lost in Cult opened pre-orders for the latest issue of [lock.on], featuring Scorn on the softcover edition! The cover was illustrated by our incredibly talented concept artist, Filip Acović (Spinebender) and will also be available in digital format.

If you’ve been keeping your eyes peeled across our socials, you may already recognise the concept, which was adapted for the custom-designed Alienware Lunar Light x17R2 Intel Nvidia laptop we’re giving away. The contest closes December 9th at 11:59 PM GMT, so be sure to claim your entries if you haven’t already. Remember to check the terms and conditions for eligibility requirements.



Lastly, we just wanted to share that the team was absolutely honoured to receive a nomination for Scorn in the category of Best Art Direction. While the game draws inspiration from a lot of existing works across art, literature, film, games, and even life, we're proud of the art and visual style we achieved for Scorn, and it seems our community is too! The winners will be announced live, during The Game Awards, on December 8th.

Thank You


It’s hard to express just how surreal it has been, going from launching our Kickstarter to being able to see our vision for Scorn come to life. It’s no exaggeration that without all of your support, encouragement, and excitement over the years, none of this would have been possible. Thank you, from the entire Ebb Software team, for coming along on this journey with us!

Steam Awards 2022

Hi everyone,

We're proud of the art and visual style we achieved for Scorn, and it seems our players are too!

While the game is heavily inspired by the works of H.R Giger, the team has dedicated itself to create the unique surreal nightmarish universe in which Scorn is set.

It's always great to see how much you guys love our game and appreciate the art and visual style, and we would be humbled if you would nominate Scorn on the category Outstanding Visual Style.

And if you haven't played Scorn yet, now's your chance!

As always, thank you for all your enthusiasm for Scorn — we can't wait to hear about more of your adventures in its morbid world.

The Pulse Monthly - 10.0

Hey everyone!

It’s been an incredible journey from where we started to where we are now with Scorn having officially launched on the 14th of October. If you missed it, you can check out our launch trailer below. Scorn has been such a passion project for all of us here. Ebb Software had humble beginnings as a team of four with a very small budget. Led by our Creative Director, Ljubomir Peklar, the studio worked incredibly hard to realise a world he’d imagined as a game for years.

We emailed game keys out to backers a couple days before launch, so if you still haven’t seen a game key, first search for Ebb Software in your email, as it may have gone to spam or a social folder. If you still don’t see your key, please send us a Kickstarter DM, or an email to [email protected] and we’ll be able to assist.

We’ve also received a nomination for the 2022 Golden Joystick Awards in the category of Best Xbox Game of the Year. Public voting is open until 16:00 PDT / 19:00 EDT / 23:00 GMT on Friday, November 4 2022.

Patch 1.1.8.0 is Now Live


In October, we pushed out a quality-of-life patch to address a number of issues reported by the community. The patch includes bug fixes, a "load last checkpoint" option, and updated checkpoint positions. If you’d like to learn more, you can read the full patch notes here.



If you end up experiencing technical issues, please ensure your graphics drivers and Windows OS is up-to-date (if you’re on PC), and that your system meets the minimum system requirements.

If the above doesn’t resolve the issue, please fill out this form with as much detail as possible. This will help the team with troubleshooting and give us the best chance of addressing these issues in an upcoming patch!

Backer Incentives Update


Physical items are still in production due to global supply chain issues, however, we are aiming to have production completed by mid-November and will be able to begin shipping after that! In the meantime, we will reach out to backers via Kickstarter to double-check the shipping information is up to date and avoid any rewards being lost in the process.

Questions from the Community


Where can I find the HD wallpaper pack?

The wallpaper pack was linked in the email we sent your game code, however, the link has since expired. We’ll be sending out a separate email to backers that will include a link to download these digital assets.

Please be sure to add our email address [email protected] to your safe sender list to avoid this showing up in your spam folder!

Will there be a DLC, alternate endings, additional areas/acts?

At this time, with the game having just launched, our focus is on ensuring we address any bugs or quality-of-life improvements and working through the logistics of delivering on our backer rewards.

Development Update


The team continues to work through a number of things as our focus shifts to post-launch activities. From resolving bug reports to working through fulfilling backer rewards, there’s still much to do. We’ll be sending out another update in November once we have additional production details to share.

We hope you enjoy the experience of Scorn as much as we enjoyed bringing it to life. It’s been a long journey, but it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you. Thanks for sticking with us. Follow our Facebook or Twitter for additional updates!
