Thursday, 24 October 2024, Cambridge, UK. Drop onto a terrifying island of scares, shocks and thrills with SCUM’s horrifying Halloween event, ‘The Sacrifice’, playable in-game today.
As dusk falls on SCUM Island, venture towards the Catacombs to discover a haunting ritual taking place nearby - and learn of a ghastly sacrifice granting access to a powerful new item...
Piece together the riddle found on notes scattered nearby and gather the ghoulish items required. Those successful in their offering will be rewarded with the Puppet Camo Suit, a new unique item that makes those wearing it undetectable to Puppets roaming the Island.
Currently available on Steam Early Access, SCUM is a multiplayer open-world survival game which offers unprecedented freedom of character customization, control and progression, and where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival. Combining the methodical planning and management of hardcore survival with in-depth gameplay, SCUM strikes a unique balance between complex simulation and intense action in the next generation of survival game.
