SCP-096: Modest

SCP-096: Modest invites players into the unsettling world of SCP Foundation, where they encounter SCP-096, a creature of notorious repute. In this game, the primary objective is to manage a containment breach involving SCP-096, known for its extreme reaction to anyone who views its face. Players must navigate the facility’s corridors and rooms, gathering documents and recordings that shed light on the entity’s background and the nature of its containment. The game’s environment is designed to enhance the sense of uncertainty, with dimly lit hallways and the echoing sounds of the secure facility adding to the tension.

A Delicate Balance of Observation and Avoidance

The gameplay mechanics are centered around avoidance and strategy. Players are equipped with tools and devices that help detect SCP-096’s proximity without directly viewing its face. The challenge is to use surveillance cameras, audio cues, and indirect observation to move around the facility, completing objectives necessary to recontain SCP-096. The game’s interface displays vital signs and alert levels that change in response to the player’s actions and SCP-096’s emotional state, requiring constant attention and quick thinking.

As the game progresses, the stakes grow higher, and the margin for error diminishes. Players must make critical decisions about when to move and when to hide, as SCP-096 can become increasingly unpredictable. The tension mounts with every new area of the facility explored and each piece of information uncovered about SCP-096. Successfully managing this balance between gathering information and avoiding direct confrontation with SCP-096 is key to resecuring the breach and surviving the game. Each playthrough challenges players to refine their strategies, making every session a fresh test of nerve and intellect.
