Uncover deadly anomalies, fractured realities, and humanity’s darkest secrets in this atmospheric horror game now in Early Access.
[Seattle, WA, United States] January 27, 2025 — Containment protocols have failed: SCP: Fragmented Minds, a unique survival horror set in the legendary SCP universe, has officially escaped into Early Access on Steam. Developed by HST Game Studios and published by independent publishing platform indie.io, this tense and immersive experience invites players to step into Chapter 1 and confront the chilling collapse of Mars Site-113—a once-secure facility now consumed by deadly anomalies and fractured realities.
Set in the legendary SCP universe, SCP: Fragmented Minds begins in the aftermath of a catastrophic Near-Extinction Event on Earth. Mars Site-113, the SCP Foundation’s top-secret facility built to house humanity’s most dangerous anomalies, has fallen into chaos. When a Foundation response team is sent to regain control, their mission spirals out of control.
As players explore Site-113, they will uncover logs, environmental clues, and survivor stories that reveal the horrifying consequences of the Foundation’s experiments. Every interaction drives the narrative forward, immersing players in a world of fractured realities, haunting environments, and choices that shape their journey.
Blending stealth, puzzles, and cinematic first-person moments SCP: Fragmented Minds offers a tense and dynamic gameplay experience. Each encounter challenges players to choose their approach: sneak through environments using tools and movement abilities, lay traps in the shadows, or face anomalies head-on in strategic combat. Tools like the PDA and multipurpose welder allow for adaptive strategies, whether by hacking systems, setting traps, or engaging SCPs directly. Dialogue choices with NPCs, optional puzzles, and open movement systems further enhance the player’s ability to explore and survive Site-113’s eerie, ever-shifting environments.
“SCP: Fragmented Minds is all about freedom and immersion,” said Austin Harris, Studio Director at HST Game Studios. “We’ve created a world where players can choose how they survive, whether through stealth, combat, or clever interactions with their surroundings. Every decision shapes their journey, and their survival.”
Chapter 1 introduces several SCP anomalies, including three deadly variants of SCP-3199. From acid-spitting Scouts to the crushing charges of Elders, these creatures present unique challenges that demand quick thinking and strategy. Players will also encounter unsettling environments like flesh-covered nests and bloodstained hallways that blur the line between reality and nightmare.
HST Game Studios is a team of veteran developers and SCP fans committed to creating a faithful and immersive experience. Collaborating with SCP community legends like Volgun, SCP Illustrated and Forlorn Foundry, SCP: Fragmented Minds honors the spirit of the SCP Foundation while delivering a deeply immersive, atmospheric horror experience.
Early Access marks the beginning of an evolving narrative journey. With three additional chapters planned, SCP: Fragmented Minds will expand the story with more iconic SCP anomalies like SCP-058 and SCP-939. The infamous Plague Doctor, SCP-049, will play a pivotal role in a future chapter. New gameplay mechanics such as the Wrist Device and Reality Anchors will further enhance the player’s ability to navigate the collapsing world of Site-113. Throughout Early Access, players are encouraged to provide feedback and share their experiences, helping to refine gameplay, shape future content, and guide the evolution of SCP: Fragmented Minds. The developers have detailed their plans in a roadmap available on the Steam page, giving players a glimpse into what’s to come.
SCP: Fragmented Minds is now available in Early Access for USD $9.99 on Steam. Chapter 1 begins this chilling descent into the unknown, inviting players to uncover Site-113’s secrets and shape the game’s future.
