New and old fans of the community-driven SCP Foundation can rejoice as the official release date for SCP: Secret Files is announced at the Future Games Show.
Chinese developer GameZoo Studio and video game publisher Pixmain today announced the September 13th Steam PC release date for SCP: Secret Files in a new mind-bending trailer revealed at GamesRadar’s Future Games Show.
SCP: Secret Files is a new game based on the SCP Foundation community writing project’s extensive catalog of anomalies alongside all-new scares. Featuring horror, thriller, and puzzle solving elements, the game showcases the classified work of a secretive organization dedicated to protecting the world from malicious anomalies.
With years of fan-created internet stories to draw from, SCP: Secret Files is set to have something for fans both old and new. Dedicated SCP Foundation veterans will spot popular SCP entries in the trailer, such as the psychic “witch child” known as SCP-239. For those yet to delve into the SCP rabbit hole, the game provides a gateway into the game’s expansive lore.
Players will take on the role of an SCP agent and experience an anthology of five diverse SCP cases, including fan favorites from the SCP universe and one entirely new entry. Tackle sand dunes across an impossibly endless desert, venture deep into an abandoned facility overrun by mysterious mannequins, and experience heart-pounding chase sequences through labyrinthine corridors. The game also features unique art styles for each “secret file”, including surreal cel-shading, uncanny realism, and even pixel art.
