You play as Karl, a rookie researcher at the SCP Foundation, assigned to organize secret files. As he reviews the archives, the cases begin drawing him into encounters with anomalies.
The game is structured as a collection of short cases, each with its own cast, tone, visual style, and approach to play. Their stories range across horror, mystery, science fiction, and more whimsical or emotional territory.
Progress through the cases by exploring environments, inspecting objects, reading files, and speaking with colleagues through the archive computer. Depending on the case, you may also solve puzzles, complete small interactive sequences, or escape a brief chase.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its short, distinct anomaly stories, varied art styles, and atmospheric presentation. Reviewers also value its use of less familiar SCPs and the range of tones, including unsettling, strange, and touching episodes. Some find the experience too short, slow, or limited in interaction, and opinions differ on how well its gameplay supports the stories.
