Finally, I have another game about being a freaky little nasty guy trapped in an otherworldly hell dimension to look forward to

Freaky guy with open head stares toward camera

With how advanced 3D graphics have gotten, I wish we’d use these rendering techniques to get more freaky with it, ya dig? Alan Wake 2’s funky lighting and lightning quick loading really scratched that itch for me last year, but 2022’s Scorn is really what I’m talkin’ about: a sickening fever dream that could only be brought to life in a game. Now it looks like we’re getting our first Scornlike in Necrophosis.

I’m a simple man: I love the work of H.R. Giger, the iconic Swiss artist who designed the Xenomorph, I’m a freak for Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish painter who specialized in hauntingly beautiful and unnerving dreamscapes, and you better believe I was down for Scorn, a horror game that cribbed its whole look from both. There’s just not much out there like Scorn, and post-launch patches went a long way to addressing my biggest complaints when reviewing the game.
