Set in the legendary SCP universe, SCP: Fragmented Minds thrusts players into the aftermath of a horrifying nightmare: a Near-Extinction Event on Earth and a catastrophic failure at Site-113, the SCP Foundation’s top-secret Martian facility designed to house humanity’s most dangerous anomalies and darkest experiments. When a Foundation response team is sent to regain control of the situation, their mission spirals into chaos. Players awaken from cryostasis to find a facility in disarray, a world where the boundaries of reality are fraying, and where the choices they make could push it further into chaos.

Early Access launches with Chapter 1, introducing players to the core mechanics, story, and characters of SCP: Fragmented Minds. Players will master stealth, combat, and puzzle-solving while exploring Site-113’s dynamic environments, where every interaction counts.  This unique adventure is experienced from the first-person perspective, bringing the horrors of the SCP Foundation’s actions to protect humanity. 

Each anomaly you face in SCP: Fragmented Minds will test your skills in new and unique ways, pushing players to think beyond brute force to survive. Every encounter demands careful exploration, cunning stealth, and calculated interactions with survivors, each harboring their own dark secrets and twisted agendas. The story unfolds dynamically, immersing players in a world of environmental storytelling, gripping cinematic moments, and impactful choices that shape their experience. As reality itself bends and fractures, players must ask themselves: If you held the power to change everything, how far would you go – and at what cost?

“As lifelong fans of the SCP universe and horror games, our team has poured its heart into crafting a deeply immersive and chilling experience that stays true to the spirit of the Foundation and honors the incredible characters created by the talented wiki authors,” said Austin Harris, Studio Director at HST Game Studios. “Chapter 1 is just the beginning, and we’re thrilled for players to step into Site-113 and uncover the story’s mysteries. We can’t wait to see how players navigate the horrors we’ve designed and interact with the game’s mechanics to shape their journey through this unique survival horror adventure”.

SCP: Fragmented Minds is designed as an evolving experience, with three additional chapters planned before the full 1.0 release. Each chapter will expand the story, introduce new mechanics, and deepen the horrors players face as they uncover Site-113’s secrets. Multiplayer support is also on the horizon, providing new ways to engage with the SCP universe and go head-to-head with other players to overcome the ever-evolving threats.
