The Year is 1985. You are Barry Gittings, a guy who voluntarily signs up for a government experiment at the Vortex Complex — an underground facility buried deep in the unknown. You’re told almost nothing. The doors slide open. A voice greets you like you’re just another cog in the machine. The test begins. But here’s the kicker: no one tells you what the test actually is. No one tells you who’s watching. And most importantly — no one tells you why others before you never made it out.
SCP: Control Error - Official Announcement Trailer
In SCP: Control Error, you're not just exploring eerie corridors for cheap scares. You’re piecing together a first-person psychological horror puzzle built from dusty reports, abandoned chambers, and the quiet dread of those who came before. It's a compact, narrative - heavy horror experience that’ll clock in around 30-45 minutes — but trust me, it’ll stick with you way longer than that. You’ll face strange tasks, solve immersive environmental puzzles, and question what’s real and what’s part of the experiment. Every eerie detail matters. Every room whispers a little more of the truth. And when it's over, you don't just walk away. Because the story doesn’t end. It evolves. Once you've played through the experiment, you become part of the SCP: Control Error legacy. The developer isn't calling the shots after launch — you are. Through votes in the official Discord, players shape what happens next. No branching paths, no “true ending.” Just an ongoing evolution based on what the community decides. It's haunting. Yet smart. But very raw. And it’s exactly the kind of mind-bending horror we need more of — especially on Linux. The SCP: Control Error Steam page is live now and ready for wishlisting for Linux and Windows PC. So if you're into a first-person psychological horror that respects your brain as much as it shreds your nerves—add it. Watch it. And prepare for your turn in the chamber. Because the experiment has already begun. And trust me... it remembers everything.
