Scum

SCUM is an open-world survival game in which prisoners are dropped onto a vast, hostile island and must survive by any means necessary. You scavenge, loot, craft, hunt, build and fight for resources and other advantages. Your choices affect how you develop and how long you last, with no fixed progression path.

Survival systems

Your health, survival skills, metabolism and fatigue are shaped by interconnected simulation and progression systems. Character development and skills persist as you grow. The island is also home to former contestants reanimated as Puppets, mutated experiments that lurk in the dark, and other players who are trying to survive. A reputation system reflects how your actions shape the way the world perceives you, whether you team up with others or go alone.

The island

The 225 km² island draws on Croatian territory and includes Adriatic coastline, lush forests and freezing mountain sides. You can explore high-security military zones and hidden corners, where you may find resources to claim or dangers to face. Prisoners who survive long enough to look beyond their next meal may begin to uncover what is really happening on the island.

Craft and build

You gather what you need and craft what you lack, using systems for complex crafting, looting and base building. The game combines PvP and PvE across its open world, where each player chooses how to survive and develop.
