After months of radio silence and beta testing, Version 0.4.0-alpha is now live! We are excited to share all of the new features and bug fixes that come along with this update.
Major Features
SCP-096
After the long wait, SCP-096 has been implemented into the main game! Be careful when exploring heavy containment now, as a not-so welcome face may appear and surprise you. Make sure not to look into his face, as that’ll be the last thing you’ll ever see!
SCP-096 can...
- Open non-keycard doors while docile, and open every door while enraged, including locked checkpoints and gates (doors opened by an enraged SCP-096 will close 1 second after they are opened). SCP-096 can also open the doors of elevators that are "moving".
- Chase its target through the entire map, including from the Light Containment Zone to the Entrance Zone.
- Use elevators to reach its target, including LCZ sub-level elevators, and the SCP-939 elevators.
SCP-330
Sweet with a bitter surprise when you take more than two! The candy bowl has been implemented, and the candies can have various effects when consumed. Increase sprint length, double your maximum health, and more. So many possibilities!
SCP-173 Rewrite
This rewrite was a lot of fun... We've heard numerous reports of SCP-173 moving while being observed, ignoring targets, and a handful of other issues that have all now been fixed. Additionally, SCP-173 now moves around the facility by himself (which was an intended feature all the way back in 0.1.1-alpha... wow). On the bright side, he'll be much more of a hassle throughout the game now. Have fun!
Steam Achievements
We have added the ability to gain Steam achievements during your play. Keep track of how many you unlock in a new area in the main menu. These are disabled on custom maps and for users who use cheat commands, so don’t think you can obtain them that easily. ;)
Night Vision Goggles
We have re-implemented the Night Vision Goggles, as well as its red and blue variants! The Night Vision goggles can be (currently) found in the SCP-939 storage rooms, and SCP-966's room. However, they can also be spawned in through the admin panel. The Night Vision goggles allow its wearer to see better, further, and see SCP-966 (which will also be receiving a rewrite, coming soon).
The Night Vision goggles require a battery, however the red variant does not. The blue variant currently does not have any differences from the standard night vision goggles (this will change soon).
Joining Lobbies
You asked, and we listened! It is now easier than ever to join friends and other players. We have introduced a "Join Public Lobby" tab which can be used to join a public Relay lobby. This menu also shows friends-only servers that you have access to. We have also improved the functionality of the "Join Friends" page.
New Backend API
We have introduced a new Web API that has been in development for a few months. All API-related systems have been rewritten, including the server list, authentication, and the relay servers. Although this is mostly an internal change, this feature also introduces more error codes so that issues can be more easily diagnosed.
Additionally, our site has been reworked, and now contains an accurate bug & feature tracker, a much better system for reporting bugs, and real-time server updates! Check it out.
Admin Panel - Player Info
There is a new page to view a certain player's information. This includes Steam information (such as Steam name, ID, and profile picture), as well as in-game information (such as zone, health, and certain flags). Requires "admin.playerinfo" permission.
Minor Features

- Fixed room overlapping, as well as rooms that lead to nothing.
- Items teleport along with the elevators now.
- We have gotten rid of room sign pointers for the time being as they were causing server crashes.
- Removed void doors. Void doors were prop doors that were unopenable, and had an infinite space of void behind them. However, SCP-096 could still open these doors, which caused him to fall endlessly into the void upon entering them.
- When starting the game for the first time, you will get a new UI telling you to select your language, and presenting the game's warning text.
- Sprint and blink bar will now change color when influenced (eg. certain SCP-294 drinks such as coffee, blue/purple candy, etc).

- SCP-939 now shows a chat bubble above it’s head when speaking.

- Map editor will now show kill triggers - invisible boxes that kill players on touch. These areas are marked with red squares.
- Map editor now states a warning that achievements are disabled on custom maps.
- Map editor has a minimize button to hide stats and keybinds, as well as a maximize button to reopen it.
