SCP: Secret Laboratory

SCP: Secret Laboratory is a multiplayer first-person horror game with an asymmetrical mode. The action takes place in a secret laboratory where an emergency occurred, and now different groups of survivors are trying to solve their problems, interfering with each other. The sides differ radically: some prisoners are looking for a way out, others are employees, some of them are armed and have orders, and some are what escaped from the laboratories. Both the goal and the opportunities depend on the role, so the same corridor means completely different things to different players. The rounds are short, and the outcome is often decided by agreements on the fly: you can unite to survive, or you can betray at a convenient moment. Communication here is the same mechanics as weapons. It’s also worth noting that the laboratory map is constantly changing between rounds: some passages are closed, others are open, and it’s impossible to remember a safe route. Certain zones are deadly for all parties at once, so agreements are concluded situationally and are almost always violated. There are also items that can change the course of the party: key cards, first aid kits, weapons with limited ammunition. The player's progress is not levels, but experience: over time, it becomes clear where skirmishes usually begin and how to outplay the enemy. For those who like short, asymmetrical rounds with conversations, this is one of the liveliest options. The game is free and runs on the community. For those who love asymmetrical modes with psychology and unexpected endings, the SCP: Secret Laboratory is suitable.
