Scorn is a short game (4 hours average) and no jumpscare fest. So will give it a go.

It's only 4 hours? I'm shocked, the game took 9 years to make. Pre-production began immediately after the studio opened in 2013, with a failed Kickstarter in December 2014, then some private funding in January 2015 which allowed full production to begin in February 2015. A 2nd, this time successful Kickstarter was launched for additional funding in 2017. How in the world did it take from February 2015 to October 2022, more than 7.5 years of full development, to make a 4 hour game? How small is the studio, 2 people? 

At least it reviewed fairly well, 72 meta.

4 hours translates to 12 for me.  Everything I play takes me longer.  I have to stop and smell every rose along the way.

With this art style though...and a rose by any other name is still a rose.

Here's my post when the thread hit 35,000 posts.

Here is it now.

That's around 20,000 missing posts.  If those have to be repaired 1 at a time.

I did the calculations yesterday.

We have lost 752,805 posts at minimum.
May have missed a few users.
That is 8.7% of VGChartz's entire post history.

Well I bet most who start to play it will feel lost immediately because it is more of an walking simulator/puzzle game that uses its environement. Had to force myself at the start to continue playing it.  It is slow...

58% of Empire gone.

I started taking screen shots of numbers and charts and making folders to store some of the stuff I look at often.  I wish I had started doing that sooner.

WTF?!?!

In regards to the thread, I mainly am on Xbox Empire, and I don't really go back in time. So I'm personally fine with going forward as is, but I know some don't feel the same way
