The game suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to poor performance and crashes, even on capable hardware like the RTX 3070. Players have reported problems with unresponsive items and confusing keybinds, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The game itself is okay, I enjoyed it, but it has poor optimization. I found a scope for a gun and I couldn't use it, SCP 714 didn't do anything, and in rooms where you had to use a card, e.g., 3, there was the same card or a worse one.”
- “My GPU is RTX 3070, by the way, so this is obviously poorly optimized.”
- “The game, when I played it, had horrible performance issues plus weird default keybinds that no game besides this one uses. I'm not sure what the rest of the game is like because despite all that, I tried to progress but then the game crashed.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with players reporting frequent bugs, clunky mechanics, and low frame rates even on lower settings. These problems lead to frustrating gameplay experiences, such as getting trapped in areas and hindered by NPCs, detracting from overall enjoyment.
- “Buggy and clunky, and progression is vastly different than SCP:CB, leading me to wander around in an empty facility with SCP-650 constantly following me and getting in the way of me backpedaling from 173, and then getting trapped in the SCP:CB surveillance room which apparently was repurposed to be for warheads while 173 (now a giant wall of carbohydrates) sat right in front of the door.”
- “Very buggy 5 minutes in and even on low settings I still get low FPS.”
