SCP: Containment Breach

SCP: Containment Breach is a survival horror game set in a containment site run by the SCP Foundation, a secret organization that contains and studies anomalous artifacts and entities that threaten the normality of the world. You play as a Class D test subject, one of the Foundation’s disposable human guinea pigs. Soon after you receive your first assignment, a major containment breach leaves you alone in the dark with escaped entities roaming the facility.

Escape the facility

Your goal is to make it out alive. You can search the site for documents and clues about what caused the breach, and try to help resolve the situation. The procedurally generated map makes each playthrough different, so you cannot know for sure what you will encounter.

Locked doors may require a key card with sufficient security clearance or a specific access code, while others are controlled by timer switches. Decontamination gas makes you blink more often, and several escaped SCPs stand between you and escape.

SCP-173 and blinking

SCP-173, an animate concrete sculpture, is the main antagonist. It kills living things on sight, moving several feet in the time it takes to blink and snapping its victims’ necks with lethal force. It cannot move while someone is looking at it.

Your character must blink regularly, which can be fatal when SCP-173 is nearby. Managing this blinking mechanic is central to surviving encounters with the sculpture.
