SCP - Containment Breach is an indie supernatural horror game based on the fictional stories of the SCP Foundation website.

You play as a test subject forced to escape the facility after a massive containment breach has resulted in various highly dangerous anomalies.

Pursuing you throughout the procedurally-generated hallways are monsters such as SCP-106 - a decaying old man that can travel through matter, and SCP-096 - a docile creature until anyone sees its face, then it will relentlessly pursue and kill them.

While these alone sound bad enough, it is the giant motionless peanut itself SCP-173 that will have you 'NOPE'ing' out of this game faster than you can blink. 173 has the ability to move incredibly fast while no one is looking at it, and it will not hesitate to immediately snap your neck if it manages to get ahold of you.

You will need to control your blinking, and keep your gaze fixed on SCP-173 at all times, no matter how much it stings your eyes.

Similarly to Detention, our playable characters being deprived of essential body functions adds a whole new level of stress on top of an already terrifying experience, and SCP-173 will have your poor hydration-starved eyeballs watering in no time.
