About SCP: Control Error
SCP: Control Error is a short, first-person psychological horror game set in 1985. You play as Barry Gittings, who volunteered for a classified experiment at the Vortex Complex, a remote underground facility established during the Cold War. The doors open, a voice welcomes you, and the test begins, but you do not know what lies behind the next door or who is watching.
Explore the facility
You explore sealed research chambers, read internal reports and documents left by those who came before you, and solve environmental puzzles and cognitive trials. The game does not explain what is happening directly; instead, it shows you what was recorded. The experience takes 30–45 minutes.
The test
There are no jump scares or gunfights. You face the test and something you cannot quite see.
