Great Ave Games announced that a free playable demo of SCP Foundation: Universe Horror is releasing next week. It's going to be part of the Steam Next Fest which runs from June 15 to June 22.
The Steam Next Fest demo offers an early look at the survival mechanics of the game along with its atmosphere and exploration systems. For the duration of this event, players have the chance to experience the game firsthand while at the same time provide feedback that should help guide future development.
In a statement, the studio shared that any community feedback received along with bug reports and gameplay impressions can help with the "ongoing improvements, balancing, and feature development." The studio also reminded everyone that the demo is only available during the scheduled Steam Next Fest.
The game is inside a secret Foundation facility where containment has failed. As a result, dangerous anomalies are now roaming free. The game has players explore, manage resources, and avoid detection. They'll also have to face unpredictable entities inspired by the SCP mythos.
SCP Foundation: Universe Horror sees players encountering iconic SCPs and new anomalies that are inspired by the universe. Each entity has unique behavior and attack patterns. That means players have to observe, react, and adapt. Survival in particular depends on how well they handle the limited resources. It's important to plan carefully and avoid any unnecessary risks. Players also have to make critical decisions which could have an impact on the chances of staying alive.
One interesting feature of the game is that the behavior of AI remains dynamic. It ensures that encounters are both tense and uncertain. That said, no situation plays out exactly the same way twice. In this facility, fear is constant and safety is temporary.

- OS: Win 10
