What is the story of contempt?

Scorn’s story or plot is the least discussed aspect of the game. Since it is a survival game, there will be a well written plot with twists and mysteries that you will unravel during the journey.

Scorn throws you into an already living world where there are bizarre creatures. You will have to discover the story as you go through different puzzles and characters with unique stories. You need to know what’s going on in the grotesque world.

According to the developers’ comments, it takes about six to eight hours to complete Scorn. This may vary based on your play style as there are several confusing environments and levels to play through.
