SCP: Secret Laboratory is a free-to-play, multiplayer, asymmetrical, first-person shooter video game, developed and published by Northwood Studios. Originally released in 2017; it is inspired by the works of the SCP Foundation collaborative fiction writing project and is based on the gameplay concept of an SCP-themed Garry's Mod game mode. Like its inspiration, SCP: Secret Laboratory takes place during a site-wide containment breach at an SCP Foundation owned facility. The premise tasks players with either escaping the facility alive, or killing all opposing players, depending on which role they spawn as. The game has received mostly positive reviews for its chaotic gameplay and for being an easy to access introduction to the SCP mythos.
