9 Terrible Things Recent Video Games Made Us Do
6. Squash A Fetus - Scorn (2022)
From the moment the unnamed protagonist awakens in the fleshy alien world of Scorn, it's evident that everything here is just horrific.
Narrow corridors covered in viscera feel like the insides of a great beast. Each tool and weapon you'll acquire during your journey looks like it's made of writhing flesh. And then there's whatever that mangled creature is you grab from an egg.
Given that being gross is Scorn's whole aesthetic, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this game asks you to do some disgusting things throughout its brief runtime. One of the most unpleasant tasks comes in the fifth and final act in which we're required to collect blood contains to activate a console.
To fill these containers with blood, however, we're going to have to collect what can only be described as an alien fetus and put it in a device that is specifically designed to squeeze ever last drop of blood out of it.
The concept of juicing a baby (even if it is some sort of Lovecraftian monstrosity) is unpleasant enough in itself. However, Scorn ensures that we endure through every squelchy second of this mechanical procedure through excellently disgusting sound design.
