SCP - Containment Breach, on the other hand, is more ambitious and focuses on the Foundation itself instead of just one particular SCP, setting the game within a facility filled with many SCPs. For instance, The Store is Closed centers around one specific SCP entry and forces players to come face-to-face with the paranormal location, entity, or item. The most recent games like The Store is Closed and SCP - Containment Breach (currently being remade in the Unity engine to market to current gamers and ultimately modernize it) reflect an expanded approach to SCP games through two different interpretations. However, this hasn't prevented later SCP games from improving, likely a result of the same community equally improving in development over time, even to the point where the same SCP-087-inspired games are now joining other horror games in VR. This is supported by the significant number of games also based on SCP-087, as the concept is easily replicable. This could be why SCP games have become so prominent across the indie scene, as with the right source material these games don't require an intensive amount of development, relying on limited settings and basic mechanics. There is no way to "beat" the game as the goal appears to simply be to survive for as long as possible until the player is inevitably killed by the SCP entity. Based on and named after SCP-087, its design was very rudimentary, consisting of only a single staircase going down with alternating flights of stairs between each level. It wouldn't be until 2012 that the first SCP game would be made, but its release coincided with the growing trend of early Let's Players such as PewDiePie and Markiplier who played indie horror games like it.
RELATED: Phasmophobia Has Had a Major Impact on Indie Horror SCP and its Current Gaming History However, with such an engaged community and endless possibilities for games of different genres, gameplay, and more, it seems a shame to waste such potential. Whether it's due to copyright or down to the scale and scope of such projects, the SCP Foundation has seemingly only ever been able to leave its mark on the indie scene thanks to the efforts of its fans. From the latest The Store Is Closed to the many interpretations of SCP-087, indie games like these could help pave the way for more mainstream interest.īut while there might be an abundance of content to draw from for current or future SCP games, there are obstacles that could be preventing larger developers from considering taking on a project inspired by SCP content. Starting all the way back in 2007 with the first "entry" of SCP-173, the community has since exploded with literally thousands of other SCP posts, inspiring plenty more fan-made content including novels, films, and even games. If you enjoyed the game, giving a rating helps a lot.After once again gaining traction online with the likes of The Store is Closed, the SCP Foundation is seeing a resurgence and demonstrating that the fan-built wealth of content is still brimming with untapped gaming potential. This is my first ever published horror project, any feedback and criticisms will only make me a better horror dev in the future, feedback is appreciated. This is not a 1:1 conversion of SCP-087, there are new events and lore added, as well as the layout of the stairwell being slightly different. This is intended to be a short atmospheric horror experience, that takes an updated approach to the story of SCP-087. This is not much of a "game", meaning there isn't any real gameplay mechanics. There is a heavy focus on atmospheric horror, with the use of good sound design and subtle scares, while telling the story of SCP-087. Play in a dark room and use headphones for best experience. This is a small horror experience based on SCP-087. At this time, it is unknown if SCP-087 has an endpoint.
