Oh god.Its just past midnight and i saw this.......should i play or not ?Damn curiosity is getting the better out of me

[Lectorog]

It looks pretty good currently. It's obviously lacking in many respects, but the basic framework is sound.I can't get past the part where

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

173 is trapped in the room full of gas - the one with the security monitor and timed exits. I don't have enough time while walking backward, and end up getting trapped with it.

173 kept getting glitched and being unable to move at one point for me, so the next time I reached there I thought it would be OK to turn my back on it. *crunch*
Haven't encountered 106 yet, but I saw some corrosion.

Note that there are currently some bugs with saves - loading them, more specifically. Also, if you die with a gas mask on, it will stay on when you start a new game, which is a bit bothersome.

EDIT: I also stand by what I said about 173 moving too fast. The surprise of it literally killing you in the blink of an eye is appreciable, but not when it has to be moving faster than a person could sprint.
EDIT2: Finally got past the part mentioned above. Then I pressed the key to save and the game crashed. I hope the bugs are worked out soon.

So, from what I've seen, the game is semi-random?

[Putnam]

Yeah.

[Yodamaster]

Got. This gets to me. What are the controls though?

[Lectorog]

Got. This gets to me. What are the controls though?

It's in the readme. Did you not do as it commanded?
WASD to move. Space to manually blink (or hold to close your eyes, if you want). Mouse to look; click to interact with the environment (a hand icon will pop up when you can). Tab opens your inventory: double-click on things to use them, drag them out to drop them, drag them to another slot to move or combine. Hold shift to run.

So, from what I've seen, the game is semi-random?

I think that, when you start a new game, the map is created using the standard start, followed by random defined rooms. The rooms are defined in that nothing in them varies, but your encountering them does, as they are randomly placed. Also note that there's an option in the options.ini to change map size, though I haven't tried it out yet.

First time I played...the door never opened the first time, and I got shot.

Second time I uh.  Kind of forgot about the critical property of SCP-173 while still in the test chamber.  Oops.

Third time I made it to the red gas room with the monitor, and got ganked.  I saw some weird clipping issue where apparently there was a monster sprite halfway in the wall, so it couldn't be seen except from a weird angle...not intentional, definitely a glitch, though.

Fourth time I got ganked on a long gas-flooded platform...

This game really likes gas.  And yeah, I was wearing the mask.

Mother of god, this game is going to be excellent. I've played all of 10 minutes, and i'm already fearing this thing.

Spoiler: first playthrough so far (click to show/hide)

>Start out, gotta head into 173's pen
>We're in, door's fucking up, lights flickering out, 173 killing the other Class-D's each time the light's out
>Door opens, I GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS ROOM, 173 ignores me in favor of the guard on the walkway above
>Run my ass off to the door behind me and close it once i'm through
>Can hear 173 moving around somewhere
>Find gas mask, some batteries
>proceed through several doors, can occasionally hear 173 moving, but still no sign of it. I'm making damn sure i blink just before i open each door, and i then close each door behind me
>I'm paranoid of every damn corner i turn
>Going through hallway, 106 zooms the fuck across the width of the hall, shooting out one wall and going into the one on the opposite side
>Igotthis.png
>Open the door at the end of the hall, chock full of gas, nopenopenope
>Calm down, put the gas mask on, run my ass through the gas and hope i make it through before i gotta blink again
>Huzzah, made it through alive, see a door at the end of the room
>Open it, why hello there 173, how are you NOPENOPENOPENOPE CLOSE THE DOOR AND RUN THE FUCK BACK
>Starting to run, take a quick glance back and THE MOTHERFUCKER CAN OPEN THE DOORS OH JESUS -crunch-
>I'm eagerly awaiting the next update

I will play it tomorrow, in broad daylight, with all the lights on, and a warm blanket around me. Hopefully I will only sustain mild sociological trauma.

YOU ARE NO DWARF. YOU ARE AN ELF.

YOU WILL PLAY THIS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS OFF, WHILE IT'S DAMN COLD.

[Matz05]

But that could make him Melancholy or Berzerk! In the daylight, the worst that could happen would be a fell mood...

I agree, my nerves and brain do not.

I love that, and agree fully. When I saw that the alpha was available, many squees were had.

There are some definite graphical problems. Once when I loaded (in the hallway just out of the starting room), the top half of the hallway was cut off by a black plane, and the visible half had some weird, flashing textures. And then I looked around, took a few steps, and then got -crunch-ed by 173. That was fun.

I played the Penumbra games and Amnesia with no sources of light or sound other than my computer, and loved it. I have not yet attempted this in similar conditions; I'm not sure I want to. A dim room is enough for me in this, I think.

Has anyone here played this in the dark?

[Yodamaster]

You know what would be cool? A version of this game where everything goes right instead of wrong. You get to roam and experiment with SCPs as you wish.
