Indie games publisher Nordcurrent Labs and game developer Misfit Village announce their collaboration on the upcoming horror title, Go Home Annie, slated for a 2024 release on PC and consoles. The game taps into the enigmatic world of the SCP Foundation, offering players a spine-chilling adventure of paranormal investigation.
Assuming the role of Annie, a low-level SCP Foundation employee, players will find themselves embedded within the organization’s Replication Division. The division, veiled in secrecy, focuses on testing artificially developed paranormal occurrences. Gameplay includes solving intricate puzzles, communicating with otherworldly entities, and exploring multiple story pathways.
A Division Shrouded in Mystery
The SCP Foundation, known for its mission to “Secure, Contain, Protect,” raises eyebrows with the existence of a Replication Division. Players will grapple with pressing questions: Why replicate paranormal events and anomalous beings? Why engage in monotonous testing of these replicas with outcomes that appear static? Decision-making in Go Home Annie is consequential, propelling players toward discovering their true role and destiny.
A Nod to SCP Lore
Mladen Bošnjak, Creative Director at Misfit Village, acknowledged the SCP Foundation’s influence on Go Home Annie. While the game stands as a standalone horror title, SCP enthusiasts will appreciate the nuanced references to the fictional universe. “We’re not just targeting SCP fans. We’ve crafted an experience that any horror aficionado can sink their teeth into,” Bošnjak remarked.
Endorsement from Nordcurrent Labs
Nordcurrent Labs voiced its enthusiasm for Go Home Annie’s unique vision. Andrius Mackevičius, Head of Publishing, praised Misfit Village for their keen understanding of the horror genre. “This game isn’t just a rehash; it’s a fresh and surprising take that packs creative energy,” Mackevičius noted.
Gameplay Mechanics and Facility Exploration
Players can expect a range of twisted gameplay mechanics, utilizing both existing and newly-created anomalies to solve puzzles. The game encourages exploration, taking players through a labyrinthine facility where safety is an illusion.
Fresh Twists on SCP Lore
Go Home Annie promises to introduce players to lesser-known SCP Foundation elements alongside familiar ones. The game aims to enrich the SCP universe by incorporating many hidden gems found within SCP Foundation Wiki.
For those eager to sample the horrors that await, a trailer for Go Home Annie has been released, promising an unforgettable journey into the world of the SCP Foundation.
