*starts game*
"Oh, walk in there. Oh, okay."
*Lights turn off, people die*
"Uhh, shit...shit shit shit shit..."

So yeah, SCP games are the only ones that manage to scare me or creep me out enough to make me want to stop playing.

[DrPoo]

I cant run this piece of crap at all.
All my drivers are updated, my computer is from 2011. The game is a fucking BlitzBASIC game, doubt it wouldnt be able to run on ym computer.
Yet i have tried everything, running in comptability mode for Windows Xp, running as admin, trying diferent resolutions. The game just crashed when it gets to the loading thing.
Fuck my life.

[Astral]

It's a pre-alpha release. Post something on the guy's site and see if he can't help you out? Be good to fix a crash like that early on.

One thing I really liked, and it was really subtle, was the loading screen itself.

It counts up to 80%...then goes back down to 70% just before it finishes.

Is there a special meaning to this?

[Sowelu]

Just that something...isn't quite /right/.  It's surprisingly unsettling to me, or at least it was the first time.

[Sowelu]

Sorry for the double post, but gah.

I got my fiancee to play this.  Thanks to her extreme paranoia, and refusal to turn her back on even a dark and empty corridor, she did pretty well.

Got to the red room, opened the door, immediately closed it.
"Huh, why aren't you going in there?"
"It's game over.  I'm stuck."
"But you haven't gone through the door yet?  D:"
"I saw its arm.  The Sculpture.  Off to the side."
"Are you sure?  I didn't see anything, take another look--"
"No.  "
"Okay, fine, lemme play--"
*opens door*
*SCP-173 is now standing right in the middle of the doorway, staring at me*
*closes door*
;_;
"Okay, maybe I can find another way to go, back the other way."
*starts walking*
*door opening behind me, sudden burst of movement as the Sculpture glitches in front of me at ridiculous velocity for about two frames before disappearing*
*MASHES TAB KEY* (which is a good pause button)
;____;
*eventually unpauses after, like, two minutes*
*neck immediately snaps*

[JoshuaFH]

Is that a glitch? I mean, where the statue moves so fast that he hurtles himself from behind you to infront of you?

[Sowelu]

Yeah.  Well, it's not like he overshot me and broke my neck from the front.  I think he just zoomed from the door past me to the corridor behind me.  There was room for him to get around me without my seeing if he tiptoed around me, so I think it was a rounding error, basically.

The GFX folder is most likely going to see some abuse in the future. First thought that came to mind is seeing SCPs with awesomefaces chasing you down.

[Scelly9]

I played it. My mind is shattered.

[Ghazkull]

why can the damn thing open doors? How are you supposed to escape it? Sorry haven't played the game up to now...waiting for a nice sunny day XP

Isn't it basically just in a locked room as far as the SCP page is concerned? Maybe it'll lose the ability since it's just part of generic enemy pathing, or we gain the ability to lock doors behind us.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

We don't even know if SCP-173 is even intelligent.

But then again....

It's not generic enemy pathing.  The red room is set up to illustrate this, actually.

There's two corridors adjoining the room itself.  When you first go into the entry corridor, you see a monitor.  It shows the contents of the room...and the Sculpture is in there.  When the camera pans so that it's offscreen, then pans back, the sculpture is in a different position.  Clearly, you're expected to stand there and ponder this turn of events for a while...  and then the camera pans back and the sculpture is gone, no longer in the room.
