  • Overhauled lighting across most rooms in the Heavy Containment Zone.

  • Slightly adjusted HCZ straight hallway connector spawn chances.

  • A reminder: following security concerns, all facility staff must sign off their computers immediately upon conclusion of work.

  • Following public uproar, the SCP-096 containment chair has been returned. We’re keeping the extra three million polygons though.

Emergency Door Release

    • Micro-HID chamber.

    • SCP-106’s containment chamber.

Generator

  • Removed a generator spawn from the following rooms, preventing two generators from spawning in the same room:

SCP-939’s Containment Chamber

  • Players are now able to jump on the lab table via the stool.

  • Reduced the intensity of the red light above the containment door.

  • Increased the size of the canister props so they are no longer comically small.

Game Changes

Chase Themes

  • Added a new system that plays dynamically updated musical elements when being chased by SCPs.

  • These themes mix together when multiple SCPs participate in a chase.

  • The volume of these chase themes can be adjusted in settings.
