Every day, I’m poking around on the internet looking for cool indie games. And every Friday I pick out one of those games to highlight — and maybe give you something to do over the weekend.

This week I’ve picked out a very strange game called To Secure, Contain, and Protect: SCP

SCP is a Dwarf Fortress mod based around a a group-created SCP wiki.  The wiki contains entries about various creatures that are “contained” by the SCP.

Each creature has an SCP ID number and their own cozy containment area.  Which is good, because at least one of them is a quick bugger who’s ready to eat someone when the lights go out — or if everyone turns their backs to it.  A word of advice.

Don’t blink.

So, what do you do if you’re one of the people working for this group and important things like the doors to creatures containment rooms and lights start to go on the fritz?

Well… with this game, you get to find out.

If you’re interested in scaring yourself pants-less, you can download SCP for free.  You will need to have a copy of Dwarf Fortress on your computer as well.

        That is a mystery to me as well. But I’m not strong on the tech side of gaming.

    no idea how they thought what they were showing was dwarf fortress. “DF” is an ascii based game.

    Has anybody been able to get this to work? I extract the scp files into the df folder but df still runs like normal

    SCP Dwarf Fortress is a DF mod with SCPs in them. What this video is describing is SCP -Containment Breach.

    Talk about confused. Doesn’t anyone at Gamebreaker check their facts?

    Dwarf Fortress mod?
    Someone dropped the ball here.
    Like, REALLY dropped the ball.
    I’m surprised my subwoofer isn’t tearing apart the neighbourhood with the voices I’d expect these guys to have from dropping their balls that much.
