SCP-087 is an experiment in first person horror, it features procedurally generated events and environments. I couldn’t handle it, I quit before the ‘end’ it was too scary. This is a game based on a passage from http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087. I think it is genius, its usage of audio is fantastic and there’s something fundamentally scary about walking into complete darkness. It reminded me most about some of the scary parts of the Metro 2033 book where Artyom would become paralysed by the dense darkness of the unlit tunnels.

I don’t know who made it apart from the fact he/she has a YouTube handle of Haversine – reception has been a suprise for the developer and there’s talk of expanding this experiment into something fuller. I don’t know if that’s necessary but I’m eager to see what’s next for the mystery developer.
