Hits the nail on how SCP-087 would be, like the graphics you went with it really fit the bill for the horror aspect, got to wonder when they'll stop sending people down the staircase after many failed attempts. Thank you for making this!
Really great take on 087, I remember other attempts at the SCP years ago, you have made a game that truly captures the dread of the stairs. Your use of noise was great, it really built the anxiety while you were descending.
I really enjoyed this game and it was spooky atmosphere, as a game dev did you looped the staircase with a counter variable or did you actually set up the whole stairs in order for the animations or was it using randomness ?
I'll be glad if you can answer and explain to me :)
Thanks for playing! You guessed right :} the stairwell is only about 10 flights long, and the game will seamlessly teleport you to the middle of the stairwell once you go far enough down. A variable keeps track of how many "loops" you've done, and that's how the game events happen. The dense fog definitely makes teleporting the player around a lot less noticable. I actually have some screenshots of this on my Twitter if you wanna see more (@inkghst) and feel free to DM me if you have more questions or just wanna talk game dev.
I think almost everyone has gone down a flight of stairs, but never with a feeling of endlessness as you get in this game. As we go down, deeper and deeper into the abyss, a feeling of dread comes over me, as if my subconscious already knows what awaits me, at he end of this story. It was not to be disappointed.
Never thought that going a stairway could be this entertaining, but entertain it did. Well done. Kudos to all involved!
This might have been your first published horror project, but it was a good one! As such, it made it onto my list of 10 scary indie horror games from 2021. As far as I'm concerned this is the best game version of this SCP and you made walking down stairs a real treat, with some scary moments too.
FYI: The game warns you about this if you switch to full screen, but it happens even if you don't: the game runs faster than it's supposed to if you have a high hz or a g-sync monitor.
You need to use RTSS to limit the framerate. The exe of the game is located at:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP
but only when the game is running. The IXP folder doesn't exist if you don't launch the game.
On floor 56 (150m), blood can be found dripping from the ceiling. This blood can actually drip onto the camera with effects. Why this is necessary is unknown.
Reposting my comment from my rating: Although this is clearly an adaptation, I'm surprised how mostly faithful this game is to the original article. As well as your own interpretation of Exploration IV.
This was the most intense stair descent ever! I had a great time playing this as I was tense the whole time lol. I put the link to this game in a Discord server for creators that I'm in!
Hello. I tried this and I liked it. It was not cheaply loud or anything which I appreciate very much. I was just curious of there would be a possibility to make it a bit more eerie. Since nothing really stopped me from just moving forward. Also maybe slow down the text a little cause I am not the best at reading. Still if people are interested in my video It's here.
That's a little confusing. Do you mean you're making your own 087 fan game, or you are remaking a copy of my version and just putting it in Unreal Engine?
I would love to see new SCP-087 fan games, but if you just take my version and copy the same events, text and scares that happen, I probably wouldn't be cool with that, no. Not like I could stop you though.

This game starts at the 11:37 mark :) I love all SCP games, but even if I lacked such a bias, I'd still see this as an innovative game, haha. The idea of consistently going into dark locations, the part of horror games that creates a surmountable amount of fear, was so clever!

This scp-087 game atmosphere is very good,I like it
Wat een sfeer zeg, dit was echt heftig! Bedankt voor een geweldige ervaring! Groeten uit België
This game was very well done! The spooky atmosphere was something else, I loved it!
Ive just now started actually playing SCP games and I love the staircase SCP, So creepy :) You captured the spooky atmosphere so well . . Great job!
Really great take on 087, I remember other attempts at the SCP years ago, you have made a game that truly captures the dread of the stairs. Your use of noise was great, it really built the anxiety while you were descending.
Can't wait to see your future projects.

my pants feel squishy
This is a really faithful interpretation of SCP-087. I only wish we could choose the other 4 exploration logs of 087. Other then that, great job.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
I loved the pacing. Genuinely sent shivers down my spine at times. Brilliant game!
really enjoyed this, great job
the text builds such dread as you descend
I love SCP stories and this was so well done. The fear of not knowing what this entity is and the descent into the endless dark stairs was awesome.

go away SCP-087-1 im trying to explore >:c
I remember playing the original SCP-087 version back in the day. This was a nice little recreation that expanded upon things. Really enjoyable.
completely unironically a good game, not super scary but still really good
Cool
please help me whenever i try to download it it just says file not found after 1 minute
your antivirus probably flags it as malware and removes it
You did a remarkable job in making this. Hope you develop more games!

I had to play this! Amazing game!
the best scp 087 game!
Жутковато, пожалуй это одна из самых интересных реализаций объекта SCP-087.(In short translate: i like this realization of this SCP object)
Here is my youtube video playing it
well, i have a little agony 'bout this game

What engine?
Gamemaker Studio 1.4.
I am trying to remake your game in Unreal Engine 4 and wondering if you are okay with that? I will link your game when I post it.
That's a little confusing. Do you mean you're making your own 087 fan game, or you are remaking a copy of my version and just putting it in Unreal Engine?

was planning on making my own scares and stuff not like a copy that would be kinda crappy to do
Then you don't gotta ask me for permission! I don't own SCP-087 at all. This game itself is a fan game. Good luck with the project! :}
This looks great
