About SCP: Descent

How many people were lost to the eternal stairwell before it was shut away from the world? What happened to those cursed to walk the liminal spaces for eternity?

Descend the stairwell armed with nothing but a torch and some pieces of chalk while you attempt to keep the monsters at bay. You do not take the journey alone as you are guided by recordings of those who came before. Uncover the reasoning behind the stairwell and look for the exit, if there is one.

Play Time


Approximately 60-90 minutes

Features


- Torchlight: Your light is your best way to navigate the dark depths, but use with caution as those who reside below are drawn to it.
- Stealth Indicator: While moving through the stairwell, every action from running, to direct light, to proximity will increase your chances of getting caught. Manage when to make a break for it to avoid capture.
- Limited Saves: The only way to save the game is by marking the walls with pieces of chalk. Choose carefully when and where to save.

Solve Puzzles


Those who came before have barred the way, solve their puzzles and prove you are worthy to descend.

✦ AI summary

SCP: Descent is a short horror game that some players find genuinely scary and entertaining, particularly for content creation, while others criticize it for broken mechanics like poor visibility systems, inconsistent AI behavior, and technical issues like unresponsive menus. Most agree the game is quite brief, with one player suggesting it's worth experiencing on sale rather than at full price, though opinions on whether it's worth playing at all are divided between those who appreciate its horror atmosphere and those frustrated by its design flaws.

honestly the most horrible horror game i ever played literally most of the game is just sneaking around holding a flashlight at your feet which gives you low visibility because "they can see your presence" but they ignore the flashlight shining at them if you look up also the ai in the game is very weird

Well, that was kind of a short game. Could be more rooms or more stuff to find. Anyways, that was an enjoyable experience tho. As someone who loves backrooms and all creepy things - I liked it, but I'm glad I bought it with a discount, not a full price. Really very short... :(

Genuinely, I had an amazing time with this game, it was really fun and had great horror aspects. Also amazing to record and post it up on Youtube. I dont know why it has mixed reviews, it was a great game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
