Scorn will be out just in time for Halloween

I need another shower after watching this gnarly Xbox showcase trailer After a delay,Scornshowed back up at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase with a wonderfully awful trailer and a final release date: Ebb Software’s fleshy nightmare will be released on October 21, just in time for Halloween.

Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see Continuing the time-honored tradition of people putting id Software’s demon shooter on anything that’ll have it, no matter how impractical, Facebook engineer Adam Bell has gotten the game to run on the MacBook Pro’s oft-deridedTouch Bar.
