Have a full article being written up, but will post some about it here first as you guys helped me figure this all out.
Firstly, the game's name is indeed Scorn, as some of you guys put together from the email title (which I missed, which I can't help but chuckle at as its one of the oldest tricks in the book).
It is being developed primarily for PC, PS4 is highly considered though.
The game is being made by a newly formed studio known as Ebb software. They currently have 7 full-time studio members on-board, and created a demo pitch for studios with a total of 12 people, and got assistance from a number of freelance artists they have connections with. However, after pitching their demo and idea to several studios, they got the same response every time ; The games too weird for mainstream appeal, its single-player focused, and lacks hooks for the best way to monetize the project.
To directly quote the email exchange;
They emailed the screenshots to me specifically because of my love for the genre, which I've shown through my posts here on GAF, my YouTube channel, and my work on Rely on Horror, apparently.
Game is being made with Unity 4, but they plan to move to Unity 5. They sent me this as sort of 'proof'.
They've apologized for some trickery, and have agree'd to answer any questions I have and agree'd to an interview. Because you guys helped me, I'll ask questions to them you guys have as well.
I may have been involuntarily involved in some viral marketing campaign, but I don't mind too much. The project does strike as interesting to me, and I hope they can find someone who will publish them. Apparently this went better than they expected, though.
The reason they aren't going with Kickstarter, and to quote;
There's a bit more to this, but typing out the full article as we speak.
