Forget Amnesia.SCP Containment Breach will scare you

Just stumbled across this today, it's a free to play game right now and is still in development. It's only in the alpha stage so it's a while away from completion but you get a good feel for it.

The game mechanics are cool in that you have a blink meter which forces you to blink and when that happens things in the world change. If you stare at certain things nothing will happen but if you turn your back and blink then scary stuff goes down. It also has random generated levels meaning everytime you play is different.

lol nice:lol:

now that i watch a couple vids. i'm scared too.:cry:

That was so funny, not even scary. The monster looks so stupid. :lol:

Interesting, but too gimmicky IMO, there is nothing like a good build up for some great scares instead of random jump scares...still, the video was cool, but not enough to carry an entire game.

It's freaky, but a little too bogged down by lots of mechanics.

If you want a more streamlined approach on terror, try SCP 087. It's only 30 megabytes or so, and all it has you do is walk down an endless flight of stairs. But boy oh boy is that an exercise in fear.

By the way, these things are old. Howcome no one in System Wars knows about this?

The monster looked more stupid than scary to be honest. Neat concept though.

I'm sure our butts got enough poop to go around :oops:

That's one of my favorite entries in the foundation website. a game made up of collections of the best SCPs turned into unique self-contained games would be pretty interesting.

SCP looks interesting and has horror potential in the weirdness and randomizing of monster and room placement, but it looks incredibly dated and could use some serious work on monster and character design.

Sorry, but until this thing is at least out of Alpha stage, Amnesia poops on it.

Why did I watch that right before going to bed.:P Has potential.

By the way guys, that thing isn't a monster.

The setting, story and features are ripe for a great horror game. Playing as a death row inmate used for experiments? Crazy anomalies that defy the laws of physics and reality? Crazy freaky deaths and rooms?

I mean damn, let Frictional get involved.

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"][QUOTE="campzor"] "At all times, two persons must maintain direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated and relocked the container." So thats why he ***** up at the start... Very interesting mechanics.SPYDER0416

at least this looks better than the previous SCP demo "staircase simulator". Some-Mist

The idea sounds familiar....

[QUOTE="Some-Mist"]at least this looks better than the previous SCP demo "staircase simulator". rilpas

tried it just now, the ambience was creepy, but honestly, the shadows didn't bother me too much, sure I started looking around but they didn't scare me but after a while I was so bored I was just jumping around, walking on the rails, looking everywhere, walking backwards...

and by the time i noticed I had some ghost hands around my neck, I'll admit, that ending scared me :P

overall though... meh, not really worth the time

[QUOTE="Some-Mist"]at least this looks better than the previous SCP demo "staircase simulator". rilpas

Yeah, sounds really dumb until you play it yourself.

Here's the premise: through a particular door in an unnamed college, there is an apparently endless staircase. Four investigations have been previously carried out before. Each person has reported hearing a crying child floors below, but as the subjects go further down, the crying doesn't get any closer. Each subject have reported coming into contact with a pale white face staring at them, and terminated their investigations immediately afterward.

So you're the fifth guy going to check the place out. Go show those previous investigators how dumb they were!

Here's the Mac version if you need it.

and now I tried containment breach, holy crap is that freaking scary :o

now imagine if they take the best of both world and mix them together... I think I'd be too afraid to even buy the game

EDIT: also, getting back to the staircase simulator, I wasn't sure if the breathing was supposed to be you or the ghost

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"] Oh okay, yeah, you got there. The idea of the game is that that thing is following you the entire time (like in the story). You just don't know when it'll decide to show itself. Yes, it is an exercise in ambience. FrozenLiquid

yep, the first guy scared me... I actually shut down the game after it killed me :P

as for the staircase simulator, I actually wasn't sure if the breathing was supposed to be mine or the ghost

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"] That game has really cool scary things. Dunno where you're up to, but if you thought the first dude is freaky, the other guys just mess with your conception about what fair play is lol. As someone said, Frictional should take a stab at the game. Amnesia's production values crossed with the story of Containment Breach...... scariest game ever.FrozenLiquid

I was walking backwards, but then I turned and it was THEN I saw the ghost... huh, maybe that's the key? walking backwards?

While we are on topic of horror games, does anyone remember the name of a certain horror game where you play as a baby? Someone posted it a couple of months ago.

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"] It's yours. Doesn't tell you in the game, but the ghost is a white, soundless face (or so they know). I'm not sure if it's programmed in the game, but in the story, the last person that goes down the stairs actually sees the face behind her. I wonder if you can catch you from behind in the game. I've only seen it from the front. You were walking backwards and it got you from behind right?FrozenLiquid

gonna try it anyway, run all of the floors backwards, never looking forward :P

I'll post here my results :P
