This game has a lot of potential for the future and I think the current state is quite good. I could easily make a list of what I liked and, while I don't want to be too picky, there were some parts of the game that I wasn't a huge fan of. 1. The art is quite good overall, yay! But! Some things like cones and boxes have borders that can trap you easily or get in your way while dashing. Also, it took me a second to realize the main enemies were 610, they were really dark so I didn't process that they were supposed to be fleshy. Still, when I realized their identity I got used to it. I'm no artist but the dark models could've played a part in me not recognizing them. 2. Sounds were nothing to complain about and the boss music was good. 3. The stat system and inventory ui was pretty easy to understand. It's a shame though that stats are pretty grindy and static in how you interact with them. Basically, the only two times I interacted with the stat system were when I was upgrading it with 166 (great addition btw, probably the best scp in the game) and the very beginning of the game when I was choosing my character (another nice addition and could be advanced later too with different w…

There's a very clear understanding of what makes a Souls-like good and what makes SCP interesting ( the use of 166 is so good) here and I'm all for it, it's not a combination I ever thought I'd see or want, but I enjoyed it a lot. I went through and got everything I could in the demo and I definitely wanted to see more, the art is cool and works well for the vibe, I especially enjoyed the opening cinematic and setting flourishes. I'll be coming back to play more once the full game is out for sure.

It seems fun but i wish i could change the controls, having MMB be a parry is very inconvient, though it has great atmosphere

Its a great game, although I think it needed a little more time to cook in development. Nonetheless, it is free and I think everyone should check it out. If the developer puts more time into this game I think it could be a Top 5 SCP games OAT

I love this game! I; unfortunately lost around 3.6 hours of play time because I forgot to save but I do recommend it. The controls are easy to pick and the main story is actually both easy to avoid and continue down depending on what the goal is! I do think as more update role around that game will get receive more attention. I don't play any real Souls game so I can't speak to the viability of it's claim as a souls-like but the combat is fun! I die a lot but that's a skill issue on my part. This game has a lot of potential in both it's story and gameplay. In all honesty, I hope more SCP fans find it.
