Take control of the SCP Foundation. For the general good, find, contain, and protect SCP objects. Develop your foundation and protect it from hostile organizations, in the last resort destroy them and capture SCP objects held there.
Developed by LUXO Interactive and published by LUK KUS SOFT, this management/simulation game allows players to take on the role of the Administrator of the SCP Foundation, an organization tasked with finding, containing, and protecting anomalous objects known as SCPs. The game has received generally positive reviews from players, with an 85% positive rating across 487 reviews.
As the Administrator, players must establish and upgrade research sites around the world, providing the resources and infrastructure needed to contain and study SCPs. Players dispatch Mobile Task Force (MTF) units to locate and secure new SCP discoveries, ensuring sites maintain appropriate levels of security and containment to prevent breaches. The research process includes both automated and manual mini-game components, allowing players to unlock new technologies and upgrades for the Foundation. Players must also defend against hostile incursions by rival organizations like the Chaos Insurgency and Serpent's Hand, while maintaining positive relationships with governments around the world to ensure continued funding and support.
The game allows players to customize the appearance and capabilities of their MTF units, research sites, and even create their own original SCP objects. As the game progresses, players unlock new technologies, upgrades, and strategies to better manage the growing challenges faced by the Foundation.
Many players highlight the game's strong adherence to SCP lore, praising the level of detail in the SCP descriptions and the ability to engage with the various Groups of Interest. The gameplay loop of searching for, containing, and researching SCPs is often cited as engaging, though some note it can become repetitive over time. Players also enjoy the game's ability to create tense situations with containment breaches and hostile incursions, though some have identified a need for more varied and challenging SCP-related events and scenarios.
While generally well-received, players have suggested several areas for improvement, including: expanding the depth and complexity of the faction interactions, diplomacy, and combat mechanics; improving the user interface and quality-of-life features, such as easier navigation between sites and MTF units; and addressing some balance issues, particularly around the difficulty of containment breaches and managing the Foundation's resources.
