What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Scanner Sombre is a creepy walking simulator with an innovative LiDAR scanning mechanic that creates an eerie, atmospheric experience praised for its visual presentation and sound design. Players consistently highlight the game's unsettling but engaging atmosphere, though some encounter frustrating control issues in VR that require workarounds, and there are reports of game-breaking bugs like respawn loops on certain sections. Most reviewers suggest it's worth playing as a short, relatively simple experience, particularly for those who enjoy exploration and atmospheric horror.

Recommended Sep 21, 2026

Both broken and a great experience. Deserves emergency duct taping for a few issues. It's simple enough to get by this all. QoL tips with mild spoiler: - To avoid infinite DEATH LOOP BUG and consequent restart, SAVE BEFORE YOU DROP on the suspended walking bridges. One mistake can make you respawn at the edge of a cliff only to meet your demise again. And again. - PSVR2 can use my community binds, uploading tomorrow if not already up - For turning, enable snap turn on right hand with OVR Advanced Settings. Drag turning with one button, map on the other (when using my psvr2 binds). Walk is then on right button/stick click.

Absolute Masterpiece. Some sections are really unnerving, if you want all your neck hair to stand up, then play it!

Fun and very creepy walking simulator. Creeped me the ♥♥♥♥ out but in the best way.

Not recommended Sep 27, 2026

genuinely unplayable in VR due to control choices that were likely picked after way too many drinks. if i need to use steam input to fix your "native" gamepad support you should be banned from making games "click the right thumbstick to move in vr" EVERY other button just opens the menu. at least quitting this game is very easy this way.

Recommended Sep 26, 2026

PRETTY LIGHTS! Also, this game strikes a great balance between chill and a tad creepy. The creep factor is helped by musical cues and decent sound design. LiDAR mechanics are a joy to use, and seeing the environment pop up around you as you scan is a definite feast for the eyes. Any puzzles you might find (if you can even call them that) are extremely easy, but I think that was a deliberate choice. They wanted to make the environment the star, and they succeeded. They also keep things fresh with a few different traversal mechanics--such as a boat ride in a lake inside the caves. You could do a lot worse with a few hours of your time. Bonus points if you're also an OCD'er who tried to scan everything as thoroughly as possible.

Recommended Sep 24, 2026

A relatively short, simple horror game. Fun gimmick that makes for an eerie experience. Nothing mind-shattering for the story but nonetheless an interesting use of a few hours. Would recommend.
