So this is a SCP game

[spicyLEGO]

but without SCPs :(

*fewer SCPs. the main character, being linked to a powerful extradimensional entity, would be an SCP herself. There's a floppy disk with telekinesis, a fridge that kills you if you look away, a typewriter that makes whatever is written effect the real world (literally the one from allan wake) a rubber ducky that does... something, a living pile of poo that keeps trying to clog up the coolant pipes. and a few more.

Jesse is supposed to finally meet her brother in my game, but I'm far more curious about the mystery behind the rubber ducky :)

"This is an SCP game" feels like putting a label the game never puts on itself. It's like when Absolver, (a game where the focus was on being a fighting game) was word-of-mouth called Dark Souls. None of this actually was said, and to call Control a genre-label and expect that is to kind of de-value the organic qualities of what this game naturally brings to the table. Instead of playing Control because you're an SCP fan, play Control because it's awesome, and you might find things that line up with SCP and paranormal stuff, in the style they decided to make it.

My two cents on expectations manufactured / word of mouth ruining impressions of a game (aka spoiling with misinformation) and holding that false-expectation to be present, more heavily than what the actual writing/design/original focus/intention/emphasis of the game actually IS- instead of what you expected by way of a label it was given lazily by someone else.

Food for thought!

The developers said this game is based off SCP. The documents you pick up mention objects of power that are straight out of the SCP Foundation. Things like the room with all the stickynotes that constantly duplicate themselves is a known thing to effect of certain SCPs as are several other things that happen so yeah this is a SCP game.

I just wish there was an actual SCP game based on the SCP Universe. Like imagine playing as MTF Tau 5 Samsara, fighting eldritch entities that continuously alters the temporal plane of the reality.

There are several, actually. The most recent being SCP: Blackout which is in early access on steam.

i mean you do enter other dimensions and fight stuff there through interaction of "objects of power" as they are called in the game. This is unrelated, but there was a mission where a guy had to stare at a fridge, if he stopped staring at the fridge, the whole building would shift and collapse. the fridge was an object of power, and the main character has the ability to contain the fridge. There are various other objects of power that get loose due to the lockdown, like a pink flaming or rubber duck, that you have to go out and contain. so i dunno i guess thats sort of scp but i dont know, im not really well versed about the whole SCP thing
