If you are not familiar with the protean universe of the SCP Foundation, we cannot recommend you enough to watch the episode of Mythologics dedicated to it by the talented Alt 236. But to put it simply, let’s say that it is is a vast mythology built, brick by brick, by the collaborative site of the same name and telling countless stories at the center of which are the famous SCPs, these places, objects, entities or phenomena subverting natural laws and that the said foundation has the task of secure, contain and preserve so that ordinary mortals can live in complete peace of mind and in ignorance of these strange othernesses.
A considerable resource of stories with extremely varied tones which will therefore be adapted in the form of a video game later this year by the small GameZoo studio. SCP: Secret Files will invite us to discover five of these stories, each borrowing a register, a genre and a different artistic direction. We will embody Carl, a new employee of the SCP Foundation, who, while consulting his employer’s archives, will see his perception of things profoundly altered and his mind weakened by his discovery.
This will therefore lead him into these five investigations which promise to take us on a discovery of surprising places and mysteries. Let’s hope that this adaptation project manages to faithfully transcribe the strangeness of the fascinating mythology of the SCP Foundation. Response during the year, exclusively on PC, while the most curious can already try a demo on Steam.
