Scars Above: New Trailer Shows off Dark Sci-Fi and Gritty Combat – Gamescom Opening Night Live [IGN]
A look at Prime Matter’s new, grim science fiction story.
Revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live, we got a look at the story behind the game, which sees an alien structure appear above Earth, and human explorers coping with the nightmares they find when they explore its seeming home.
We also saw glimpses of the game’s combat, exploration and puzzle-solving, which seems to include over-the-shoulder gunplay against alien beasts, and a healthy dose of Returnal and Metroid-like dread.
The game was first announced as part of a line-up from Prime Matter, a new “premium gaming label” from Koch Media.
