Finding a gun in Scorn is harder than you might expect. When you first awaken in the bio-mechanical nightmare world of Scorn, one thing is made immediately clear: You’re on your own. The game gives you zero guidance, explanation, or standard tutorial. It’s almost Myst-like in its opacity… just less sunny and inviting, and more relentlessly bleak and slimy.
Given the obscurity of Scorn’s introduction, getting through the first stretch can be a challenge, especially with the tough puzzles...
