"Every now and then gamers want to explore the dark side in video games. While most titles force you play as the good guy, this new video game actually puts you in the shoes of an escaped prison inmate. Orange jumpsuit and all."



"SCUM is an Early Access, open-world-survival-prison-riot-simulator co-developed by Croteam and Gamepires. Set on an island, the premise of the game focuses on an entertainment company called TEC1 which is currently filming their first season of their new reality tv show SCUM. The competitors of the show are actual inmates, and they are pitted against each other with the possibility of being released from prison.

The game’s tagline is “Your life sentence is about to become your 15 minutes of fame.” and their description, “The world’s need for entertainment has turned towards bloodlust as TEC1 is set to premiere season two of its television sensation SCUM.”
"



"According to the developers, the game will be a multiplayer open world survival game with “character customization, control, and progression.” Additionally, the game is running on Unreal Engine 4!

“SCUM evolves the multiplayer open world survival game with unprecedented levels of character customization, control, and progression where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival.” The games bio on Steam explains.

They lost me at multiplayer, not that a ripoff of Running Man (and the many spin-offs it inspired) aren't enough reason.

I waited a LONG time for Croteam to stop milking Serious Sam and come up with something new, and all they can do is copy an old theme.

"Pegi12 or lower only, adults need not bother. Terms and conditions apply".

In terms of the concept however, yeah, would be nice to get such a game.

They lost me at "early access". This kind of scam should be banned. Release it when it's ready.
Yeah it's usually a sign that they're either expecting customers to do their QA, or they're looking for help with ideas.

Or they just want your money.

DayZ, 7 Days 2 Die, Miscreated, H1Z1, Rust. These have been in my Steam library for way too long.
