Prime Matter’s Scars Above Receives Pre-Alpha Gameplay

Developer Mad Head Games and publisher Prime Matter have just released a new pre-alpha gameplay trailer for its upcoming sci-fi action-adventure game, SCARS Above. Check out the trailer below for more information.

The trailer showcases a bunch of environments that players will get to explore in their quest to unearth the myriad mysteries buried deep within the alien planet. There’s also some light puzzle-solving, as well as combat encounters that players will need to overcome, and it looks to be shaping up well. A lot of inspiration has clearly been drawn from Housemarque’s Returnal, but Scars Above could definitely use a fair bit of polish in its primitive gameplay systems. That said, this is pre-alpha footage, so it’s still in the early stages of development.

Koch Media revealed its latest publication label, Prime Matter, during its showcase at the Summer Game Fest. A bunch of games including the likes of Payday 3 are currently in development at the numerous studios working with the publisher.

Scars Above is releasing in 2022 for PC and consoles.
