Scanner Sombre is the exact kind of game that's nearly impossible to write about. Or, it's the kind of game that's nearly impossible to write about without feeling guilty. It's very much an experimental piece, and getting any amount of that experience second-hand feels counterproductive to the point of it all.
There's a certain decay between playing Scanner Sombre and just reading my words about Scanner Sombre. That's how you know it's effective in what it sets out to accomplish. Nothing short of actually playing it will convey quite the right sensation. Still, novel as it is, it's the things Scanner Sombre doesn't do that glare the brightest.
