The story is widely regarded as minimal, lacking depth, context, and meaningful backstory, with some plot holes despite its short length. Many users feel it functions more as a basic demo or intro with limited narrative integration into the SCP universe. Overall, the storyline is seen as weak and insufficient to engage players.
- “The area was soon quarantined by the foundation, with an official story being released that the entire building had been condemned.”
- “I do not really recommend the game, however the graphics and storyline is pretty nice.”
- “This game looks like it could be a good intro to a single player game such as 'SCP: Containment Breach', but it would be a difficult story to implement in the SCP universe.”
- “There's no story or context to it, seems like it's some sort of demo.”
- “So the game is only one poorly designed level with bad controls, no story to speak of, and the fact that's it's related to SCP foundation is just tacked on to get fans to play it.”
- “It's very short, not especially accurate in the way it depicts SCP-022 and still manages to leave behind some plot holes, despite its length and lack of any dialogue.”

The game's atmosphere is generally described as spooky and creepy, effectively enhanced by sound and lighting, especially in VR setups.
