SCP: Descent

SCP: Descent is a horror game about exploring an eternal stairwell and uncovering what happened to the people trapped in its liminal spaces. Armed with a torch and pieces of chalk, you try to keep the monsters at bay, follow recordings left by those who came before and search for the reason behind the stairwell—and for an exit, if one exists. A playthrough takes approximately 60–90 minutes.

Descend the stairwell

You use your torch to navigate the dark depths, but its light attracts the creatures below. Running, using direct light and getting close to the monsters all increase your chances of being caught, so you must choose when to make a break for it. You can save only by marking walls with chalk, making each save location a choice.

Those who came before have barred the way. Solve their puzzles to prove you are worthy to descend.
