SCP: CONTROL ERROR takes place in 1985
You are Barry Gittings - a man who volunteered for a classified experiment inside the Vortex Complex, a remote underground facility established during the Cold War.
The doors open. The voice welcomes you. The test begins.
No one explains what’s being tested. No one tells you who’s watching.
Inside the complex, you’ll move through sealed chambers, complete unfamiliar tasks, and uncover internal documentation left behind by others who were part of the same protocol.
And then, once the experiment ends - the players decide what happens next by voting in the game’s official Discord: https://discord.gg/bDvhFcJg2p
The game doesn’t branch. The experiment evolves.
And what happens next depends entirely on the players. Not the developer.
