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 item functionality and unusual keybindings, which further detracts from the overall experience.
“The game has great potential, but the optimization needs improvement to enhance the overall experience.”
“I appreciate the effort put into the game, but the optimization issues can be frustrating at times.”
“While the gameplay is engaging, the optimization could be better to ensure smoother performance.”
“The game itself is okay; I enjoyed it, but it has poor optimization. I found a scope for a gun and couldn't use it, SCP 714 didn't do anything, and in rooms where you had to use a card, like card 3, there was the same card or a worse one.”
“My GPU is an RTX 3070, 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, including frequent bugs and low frame rates, which hinder gameplay and create frustrating experiences, such as getting trapped in areas due to AI interference. Players report a clunky experience that detracts from immersion and enjoyment.
“Buggy and clunky, and progression is vastly different than SCP: Containment Breach, leading me to wander around in an empty facility with SCP-650 constantly following me and getting in the way of backpedaling from SCP-173, and then getting trapped in the SCP: Containment Breach surveillance room which apparently was repurposed to be for warheads while SCP-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.”

The graphics have received mixed feedback, with some users noting that even on high-end hardware like the RTX 4090, the visual quality is underwhelming. Additionally, there are comments about the translation quality being acceptable, but this aspect does not significantly impact the overall graphical experience.
“I don't speak French, but the translation is okay. Even on a 4090, the graphics aren't great.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive.”
“I expected more from the visuals; they seem flat and uninspired.”
