  I played for an hour in which no actual gameplay occurred. It started to become clear to me that this was a visual novel told though very lightly interactive parts. If you're looking for an SCP visual novel this should be great for you, but if you're hoping for anything resembling gameplay you're going to be out of luck.

  I was excited about this game because I'm a huge fan of the SCP Foundation. However, this game doesn't incite the same feeling of excitement and intrigue I get when reading a good SCP article. It just felt... kinda boring. The game itself isn't bad, the graphics were decent and I don't think I encountered any bugs. I think the main issue is that the 5 SCPs they chose to focus on were lackluster. I'd be curious to know why they chose some of these when they had so many more interesting options available. I did appreciate the artistic choices they made, each SCP story had a distinct feel to it. They all felt unique, utilizing different art styles and tones. In the end, the gameplay behind each story just felt plodding and the content of the SCPs wasn't exciting enough to make up for it. There were some minor things that bothered me as well. Some of the sound effects were pretty bad, distinctly fake enough to pull me out of the moment. The character's footsteps, for example, just sounded really artificial and not in time with the character's movements. Normally this would be easy to ignore if they weren't so LOUD. That's another thing, the volume was really inconsistent. In one story, the music was so loud I could barely hear the characters speak and adjusting my audio settings didn't really fix the issue. Also, during one story you have to wait for text to type out before moving on and it's so SLOW (I'm already bored, stop torturing me). Not sure if there's a button to make it move faster, but if so I couldn't find it. There are also parts of the game where you're literally just reading SCP articles. It's under the pretense that you're an archivist and I get that they were trying to make you feel like an actual employee, but the 'archiving' you do is just dragging and dropping files. It's like fake gameplay and while I enjoy reading SCP articles, if I wanted to do that I can just go to the wiki. I feel bad giving this game a thumbs down because I didn't hate it (it's more meh than bad). I did get the sense that the developers were trying to make something good and I don't think the price is unreasonable. ***My total playtime is probably 4-5 hrs for one playthrough, not 9.1. I tend to leave a game on when I'm doing other stuff.

  WARNING: this game plays more like a visual novel focused on storytelling. If you come here expecting it to play like the other SCP games (which focus on surviving/fighting), you'll be disappointed. I was waiting for months to play this, and I must say, the only disappointment was that it wasn't longer. The way information is presented is engaging, and I never felt frustrated or bored even during the text intensive parts. This game also feels like multiple games combined into one, and somehow they managed to make it work. The artstyle and direction are gorgeous, so praise there as well. As for the storytelling itself... this game explores the SCP world in an honestly unique way. If you know 0 about SCP, or you only know the popular stuff from containment breach, you need not worry - the game guides you through what or who each SCP is, making it so you don't need to know a lot about the world to understand it. If you do know your "lore", the game is also incredible (the here be dragons segment will make anyone who already knows the story emotional, for example). I would go more in detail, but I do not wanna spoil the game for anyone, since it's so story oriented. All in all, if you're looking for a SCP game focused on the SCPs themselves but NOT on survival horror or fighting entities, this is the game for you.

  This game's pretty fun. It covers some "lesser known" SCPs that are actually super interesting to experience through the perspective of Class D personnel, MTFs, and scientists. It has a really interesting take on experiencing SCPs aside from direct contact with them. A couple of my criticisms, however, lie within how the the game is structured and how its meant to "scare" you. Much of the scares were cinematic cutscenes, which took away from the fact that you needed to run away from them. It should also be noted that these chase scenes are pretty scuffed, considering that the enemy is programmed to be faster than your character, essentially killing you over and over again until you're lucky enough to get away from them. I personally would rather them have the threat immediately run me down as opposed to me just watching them look at me silly before I get to run away from them. I also found that in some areas of the game, the voice acting was so lackluster that it took away from the experience. Upon meeting with the second SCP of the game, the character practically shows zero fear or even concern for what's going on around her just by her voice alone despite how extreme the whole situation was. This character didn't come off as particularly commando or anything to justify this, so it really just threw me off. And the third SCP, Daniel and his dragons, is EASILY one of the worst sections I've experienced in a game. It wasn't very interesting, the gameplay was boring, and it felt extremely dragged out. Although the SCP was cool, the gameplay for it was very hard to stay awake through. However, past the third SCP, the game hits a huge quality spike, as the last two sections are surprisingly much better than the previous two. One is a horror SCP section, while the other is a more lighthearted, funny SCP section, and yet, both sections retained my attention all the way through because they were extremely enjoyable. Overall, the story is pretty good, the gameplay is pretty good, just with a couple of huge hiccups in the middle of the game. It's a real shame the game was so short, because I can't help but feel that I want more content. Devs, if you're reading this, you guys would be awesome if you all decided to update this game and retain the positive aspects of the first, fourth, and fifth SCPs. The second SCP also had some great aspects at certain points, but there were a lot of bad aspects for me in that section. Lastly, please do not do a section like Daniel and his Dragons again. I really did not like it.

  Should definitely be called a graphic novel more than a game, its about 4 hours long with only about 1 hour of actual gameplay. The other 3 are watching cutscenes. But hey, its an SCP game so, it has a little something for everyone

  Disappointed so far at how little gameplay there actually is. Definitely a visual novel.
