Enjoyable for what it is. Just a little lost on how this relates to anything SCP. Fun quick game to complete in less than an hour.

Great atmospheric puzzle game that will keep your brain in tonus. Great choice who likes to find not linear solutions and who wants to be pleasantly surprised by final twist.

It's short. In the beginning I did not know what to do, because everything looked too easy. So I did EVERYTHING. Wasn't much possible to do. Then I found out, yes, it really IS that easy. Beside the comparing puzzle. I still have absolutely no clue, what I have done to "solve" it. ...two times. But as long as I finished the experiment it's fine. Not many people could finish it (according to the Op).
But maybe it would be a good idea to fix the gap in the floor, soon? ;)
Unluckily I can't tell anything about that "the community decides"-thing, since I don't have discord, x, insta, or whatever spyware.
I dunno if it is worth 3 euros. But for 1,50 in sale.... yahh why not?! It has SCP in its name and the "ingame infos" are nice to read.. :)

a short puzzle game, everything is very simple and nothing really related to SCP. I got the game at 2.54 and it wasn't worth it.

The concept sounds promising, but the execution falls short. The puzzles are simple, yet often confusing. For instance, there’s a color-based puzzle where the colors are mislabeled. Or another “spot the differences” puzzle where the differences only appear after a while. Overall, I’d describe it as a simplistic yet confusing experience.
I don’t enjoy giving negative reviews, especially knowing how much effort likely went into creating this game. However, I also wouldn’t want others to go through the same frustrating experience I had. Hopefully, the next project will turn out better.

The trailer shows you just about the entire game. $2.54 is too much for this experience I believe.
if youre curious what scp this game is about spoiler is below.
it runs 1080p with native xbox controller support on steam deck.
Was not too fun to play.
spoiler: they make their own scp VX-161. its a gas that you walk through that ages you and makes you weaker. (Game mechanics like run and crouch are limited for rest of game.)

The game is advertised as being a 30-45 minute experience, I completed it in about 20 minutes or so.
It’s pretty straightforward with a handful of puzzles for you to think through and solve, with some clues being provided in each room.
It runs really well on the Steam Deck. Not much else to say besides that, brief experience for a pocket change price tag.
