173 or ''Peanut'' is just way too overpowered and there is no counterplay or chance to survive...
if you are willing to patch it, I will rebuy it!

Don't go near this game. Even if it's cheap.
The graphics in this game are the worst I've ever seen. Even at maximum settings they are blurred beyond recognition.
The sound in this game isn't great either. Throughout I can hear the music, yes, but there's also this wierd hissing/humming/screechign sound which sounds like bad audio compression.
The gameplay itself isn't fun. The place is a labyrinth, I get that. That's fine: lots to explore. But you have no map, and each time you 'die' you have to restart the game. This means you have to go through the intro sequence, making you likely to forget where you were in the first place anyway.
The controls aren't great either. A lot of the time any of the controls other than A and D feel unresponsive.
As far as the story goes, the whole SCP thing is fine, but this game doesn't really add much to it. You have some of the contained objects that you can encounter and so on, but it doesn't really feel any more impressive than just reading text about them on the SCP wiki.
A lot of people talk about 'bad joke' games on steam. This goes beyond even that.

The reviews make this sound like a very interesting game - I bought it, tried it, wanted to like it - couldn't get through any doors. The W key works once out of 50 button mashes.
Please update and fix, and I will give a real review later.

This was...this was an experience. A bad one. The controls were bad or just plain broken, the pictures used for character frames are obviously from other games, and all of the other experiments are just....no. I paid a dollar for this game, and I still feel dirty and used.

Daughter of Shadows is a puzzle sidescroller that takes inspiration from various SCPs, from the well-known Wiki.
As a girl who can mind control any men and then use these men as extra health, use them to operate computer terminals, or to kill women who SCP-029 cannot otherwise affect, your goal is to find two keys and unlock the main facility to be able to escape.
The game uses randomly generated rooms so you will not always encounter the same things.
The main draw is the many SCPs included. While there are certainly inaccuracies in how they are depicted and how they act, the game does more right than wrong here. You will need to know about most of them, or have the Wiki open to check, to get the full experience though.
Downsides are obviously the production values. It is a low budget game with not so pretty art and almost no sound. There is no background music and the sound effects all seem very stock.
Recommended for its low price and connections to SCP lore, but if you're not interested in the SCP project then this has llittle to offer that other games can't do better.

The graphics are extremely pixalated, it wouldn't be a problem but you can see where they took an image they made and cut, copy, and pasted which makes it worse than it really is. The tutorial teaches you next to nothing on how to play the game, the keys blend so well into the background I had to teach myself how to enter doors with "w" and while on the topic of entering doors you have to be exactly on the tiniest invisible marker on the door to enter to go to the next room. Be ready to learn to memorize everything because there's no save feature so if you die no matter where you are it's time to start completely over. The story is non existant, it's supposed to be someone's take on a character they made for the S.C.P. universe but it should have stayed that way, just someones story, not all stories are meant to become more than just that, best example of when I'm buying this is The Dark Tower, if you've read the books and seen the movie then you'll know what I mean.

If you ever wanted to play SCP: Containment Breach but you found it too scary or hard (like me, lol), this is a game for you. You play as an SCP who is trying to escape, has limited means of defense and (for some reason) the whole facility is trying to kill you.
You will explore, run, dominate, kill, run, hack and steal to be able to get out. All packed in beautiful black, white and grey color combination, weird sounds and controls that will make you question your life decisions. :3
This is not AAA game, but I don't care. I liked it and I think many SCP fans would too if they would try it. Sure it's trying to leech on popularity of SCP, it's not bringing anything too inventive to the table, but there's a HUGE undersupply of mid-level scary SCP games, so I WILL recommend this. And for 1€ it's not unbearable investment even if you'd later find out that it's not your cup of tea.
And a one more point; without the DLC the game feels kinda plain and empty, as you miss on a lot of SCPs, that it basically forces you to buy it to make playing interesting. But you spent 30€ on that fancy new game on front page this week already, so what is one more € to you?

[h1] Daughter of Shadows: An SCP Breach Event [/h1]
This game is what I would discribe as a sour lemon :P If you like blah then you will really like this little game too ;)
Game make's me wonder if Im loosing my vision because of the blurring, its in black and white and its Bland I tell ya.
The prisoner girl has to find a way out the prison, with out getting caught, if you get caught its straight back to the start again, NO SAVE"S :P

Also good luck trying to open those doors, the controls are not always responding to opening the doors for you, so YES YOU get caught and back to the pen you go. Start again :P
I did not enjoy this game, BUT Idle Master certainly did. Wow 14.2 hours game play :O and I actually only played for 20 minutes then uninstalled the game :P
[h1] Best 59cents i have ever wasted :P[/h1]

A glitchy, ugly mess. As a fellow indie dev however, I understand how hard it is to bring something you love to life. This just isn't a good product of that love. Buy it if you're a die hard SCP fan (I am) but I can't reccomend a much larger audience than that.

This game upset me to my core. I wanted to enjoy it, truly, because I love SCP - but I just couldn't do it. It's ugly, the gameplay is repetitive and controls are hit-or-miss. It reads like a bad Flash game from the early 2000's.
