At one point the title of the thread was something like 'NeoGAF. Some horror game leak? Succumb Core or Nowhere? GAF detectives!' So maybe that's where people got the idea.ppl calling it succumb core based on that one dude's post. smh.
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.
well this thread certainly got our attention.
edit: can you pm me your contact at the studio?
I think he posted it in good faith, not to make a name for himself. The mistake was perhaps not realising how badly a shitty source can ruin you on GAF.
The design reminds me of Dark Seed now that I think about it.
I don't remember this pic from Prometheous....unedited version?
well this thread certainly got our attention.

Welp. It was surprising how he got the studio name down! For all we know maybe there was talks of Sony getting exclusivity of the game, maybe even the guy he spoke with is an insider. I find it oddly suspicious that the "protagonist" is wearing Sony's VR headset in the concept art, as many other posters have indicated.There are a multitude of possibilities as to what may have happened. All we can do now is wait for Gamescom!Or Bish can just kill the poor soul.
Well maybe it depends on the mod. Bish has a swift hammer!
Those Juniors don't realize they can't make up stories to make a name for themselves here on Gaf the way they can on lesser sites. Do that here and you get the ban hammer.

I Love the look of this so far. I've been waiting for a game to really embrace the Giger style and haven't really seen much since Darkseed on the Amiga.
m360 has been cleared in terms of his bonafides. Carry on!Okay guys. ...i just dug a little into this. I just tell you what someone with knowledge to this topic told me.
This game is namend "Succumb Core" (working title) and is the concept of a newly founded and not officially announced studio "by some known veterans of the industry and genre". It was created with oculus rift in mind. They showed a alpha slice - the screens are from this - to some publishers. And ... like many games now ... Sony grabbed it as an exclusive for PS4 with Morpheus support. "The Games' in an early stage but Sony is considering to unveil it at this years' Games Com."
So Dusk Golem is wrong?m360 has been cleared. Carry on!
So Dusk Golem is wrong?
Either Sony have the game or they don't.
One of these dudes is wrong.
Of course things change, but it seems like both people are posting based on very recent information, and the stories are totally different, the name is different, and the platform is different, and the publisher (and lack of) is different.Or... m360's credentials put him in a position to hear things - which are also subject to change. Contractual details switch back and forth in this industry all the time. His background check passed, but that doesn't mean it's a done deal.
Succumb Core would be a hell of a name for randominternettroll to pull out of thin air
You posting about it alone is a big tease. Make it happen Adam-san.Interesting thread.
Ok now it's getting real. This better be about getting the game on PS4 and not head hunting.well this thread certainly got our attention.

I guess more likely is that m360's contact is legit, but for whatever reason the information he was told was bad.
Their source is the article written by the OP of this thread. Read the last couple of pagessorry if old
