Scorn. Has anyone else seen this?
It was hidden in the Steam store for me but recently saw it on YouTube and it looks interesting: sort of a cross between Soma and Alien with a dash of Prey (the first one). Trouble is that even after all this time the trailers haven’t changed all that much and I worry this will be another We Happy Few, whereby the devs have one or two good ideas, think they can make a full game out of it and end up failing pretty miserably.*
The art is lovely, but when it looks like they’ve only modelled two NPCs after all this time I get worried. Likewise there are apparently supposed to be multiple environments, but when the trailers only ever show one and the game is due for release this year…
*it wasn’t especially bad really, not the worst thing I’ve ever played, just dragged on for more than twice as long as it ought to have had.

I've been waiting for ages, so not optimistic about it.

Also a bit worrying that they still haven’t managed to sync the sound effects up with the gun animations.
But to be fair, Black Mesa took yeeears and it was probably worth the wait.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R took many years and still launched as a wreck.

I bought STALKER a long time after it was released.
I tried it but gave up fairly quickly. I've probably said before that I really don't like inventory juggling. With SS2 the plot was interesting enough for me to push through it, Prey (the second one) likewise, but at the far end of the scale is Breath of the Wild; as much as I love Zelda the inventory faff makes it unplayable for me.
Now, what I'd really like to see is a Messiah remake. Get the DOOM guys in for the soundtrack (I think Jesper Kyd is still around too), maybe hire some of these guys for art, and see if anyone knows what the fuck happened to Adam Foster.

I can cope with inventory juggling if the atmosphere is right.
Lost Alpha made it more playable with vehicles and far fewer glitches. It lost some of the lonely wandering quality though. Getting drunk in-game was amusing.

Saw a video years ago, had completely forgotten about it. Seen no mention since so I assume it got abandoned.
