The player can also blink manually, resetting the blink meter, and has to use this to time his blinks correctly in order to stay alive. To make things more interesting, the game has a ''blink meter'' which forces the player to blink every once in a while. However, it can't move while within a direct line of sight. It's almost supernaturally fast, extremely hostile and likes snapping peoples necks. The main enemy of the game is SCP-173, an animate concrete sculpture. You can also attempt to search the facility for documents and other clues to figure out what led to the breach, and do your part in fixing the situation.
Unfortunately things hit the fan, a massive containment breach occurs and you end up alone in the darkness with the escaped entities roaming around the facility. You're thrown into the boots of a Class D, one of the Foundations disposable human guinea pigs. The game is set in a containment site of The SCP Foundation, a secret organization dedicated to containing and researching creatures, items and places that threaten the normality of the world.
