Welcome prisoners to SCUM Island! Where participation is non voluntary, the environment is cruel and inhabitants even crueler. You will work off your crimes and debt to society by attempting to survive and entertain the masses. And do not think that death will save you, as your service has just begun. 

SCUM is the hardest and most realistic open world survival game, where every aspect of survival is done in important details. From inventory management, weapon maintenance, stamina management to the most detailed metabolism system ever created in a video game. Think you have what it takes? Deploy on the island and find out! 

Main features

The island

Biggest map made in Unreal engine 4 with 225㎢, based on all aspects of Croatian territory. From the beautiful Adriatic coastline, lush forests to harsh cold mountain sides. Riddled with various POIs including villages, towns and cities, military installations, factories and civil infrastructure. And lastly danger areas such as highly protected bunkers, abandoned ones filled with danger and a whole irradiated zone filled with dangers seen and unseen. 

Metabolism

Take a deep dive into the most complex and greatest metabolism system ever done. Take care not only that you eat and drink to survive but also what you eat and drink to get the optimum experience out of your prisoner. Tying in to an in-depth health system and hefty RPG like system of attributes and skills, make sure your diet fits your play style, as much as you can.

Dangers

Plenty of dangers await you on the island. Experiments that went wrong in the form of mutated monsters and former contestants raised as puppets, other survivors willing to kill for their own benefit, radiation leaking from the rundown nuclear power plant and other players trying to make a name for themselves. 

Craft and loot

Plenty of gear to choose from to help you in your survival, whether it is crafted or looted. Melee weapons, bows, firearms, clothing, bags and in-depth cooking system. A tool for every trade, what and how you utilize them is your choice.

Maintenance

Whether it is your favourite rifle, or that lucky pair of jeans, make sure your gear is properly maintained. Depending on it is how much gear you can carry, weapon jamming, quality of crafting.

Vehicles

Land, sea or air there is a vehicle for you. With a complete modular system, add and remove parts to your vehicle. Add armour parts or strip it down to bare bones, choosing between protection or style, zip around the map in comfort. 

Multiplayer

Choose from any number of our servers with 64 other players and try to survive together, or against each other. Or host the server yourself and tailor the experience as much as you want with our massive server setting customization options.

Why Early Access?

“SCUM is a next generation, story driven survival game featuring extremely complex game mechanics and unrevealed survival features. Gamepires is an experienced team oriented towards innovation and perfection in game production and have decided to develop SCUM side by side in collaboration with its community with the goal of making the best possible survival game yet.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“SCUM will be in development for at least one full year during Early Access and to complete all planned features and content. However, additional community requests and ideas might shift the final release date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Gamepires has planned a wealth of features and content additions to be added for SCUM during development. Some of these features will be fully finished upon release into Early Access while others will be polished in the following year of development. During this period we will include many community suggestions and ideas, fix bugs. Furthermore we will improve game performance and upgrade gameplay experience on all levels to make SCUM ready for the full release.

For the final version of the game we plan to finalize all gameplay segments, then connect it with high level gameplay, include skill based crafting system from no skill up to advanced skill level, add fully developed combat system (melee combat and armed combat - all skill based), detailed character customization, mission objectives, character leveling system, vehicle support and many other features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of SCUM will be playable and relatively stable with most features included on a basic/medium level of functionality. This means that players will be able to perform limited amount of actions or these actions will not be fully polished until game gets to final development phase. The players will be able to explore the island, build up their characters, engage other players, NPCs or wildlife and make simple alliances with their buddies. Early Access will not include high level gameplay – story driven mission objectives. The progress of the game development can be followed on our official SCUM dev blog - scumgame.com.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of SCUM will increase slightly as the game gets closer to release date with the initial lower price serving as a 'thank you' to the community that supports us in the early development phase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Gamepires encourages the community to post their comments, ideas, feature requests and bug reports directly on Steam’s discussion pages, official game dev blog or even third party sites (Reddit, Wiki, etc...).

All posts, suggestions and ideas will be closely examined by our community managers and they will give their best to respond to each and every post you make. A good deal of your requests will be implemented in the game and the best to communicate your ideas to us is by making group requests or polls – if more people want something then we can shift priorities and make it happen faster. However please be patient, game development is fun, but things don’t happen overnight and remember that good things come to those who wait. :)”
