    The gameplay shows strong potential with interesting concepts but suffers from technical issues, inconsistent mechanics, and frustrating AI behavior that hinder the overall experience. Some mechanics need polish, and the game is recommended for purchase only after it exits early access.

    • “Other than that it's good with amazing gameplay, however I had to refund it since it kept crashing.”
    • “If you are looking for gameplay, I would advise watching this game's development closely and buying when it comes out of early access.”
    • “Also, the interaction with the SCPs while transporting researchers and civilians is way harder because they run in a random direction really fast. This was especially a problem with the flamingo one, which ran after the researcher almost to the border of the map on the other side of spawn. Due to the revive mechanic, the researcher would walk a few steps and then start to run away again. It was really annoying.”
    • “The game runs good but some of the gameplay is pretty bad.”
    • “Some of the mechanics need a little bit of polish but the potential is absolutely there.”
