Alright, I just want to start off by saying I'm a huge SCP fan, so this game immediately gets bonus points there lol.

The computer is very cool, and I love the typing mechanic and how it functions. However the mouse camera controls outside of the computer were a little janky, some smoothing there would be nicer. I really like the writing style, I can tell a lot of work went into developing  the story and the different choices, and it reads quite similarly to an official SCP story you'd find on the wiki or something, which is very cool aswell.

Now, I feel like as an SCP game, or even just a general anomalous horror game, this game works very well. But, for a game jam, I feel like there needs to be a lot more showing what's happening than just telling the player what's happening. In my opinion, (and everything I say here is just my opinion, so you can take it with a grain of salt), I think a game jam game needs to be more fast paced, and less of a slow burner like this one. For this reason I couldn't sit through the gameplay for too long, as there wasn't much captivating me apart from just the story, but I think the main focus of a game jam game should be the actual gameplay.

However, putting this all aside, like I said, this game is such a cool concept and well executed for an SCP type game.

I hope you put out some more games like this in the future, though for any games in general, a bit more showing what's happening rather than just text explaining it would be quite nice. Great work overall though, it seems like a lot of effort was put into this, which is a huge accomplishment! Keep it up :)

Completely fair about the game jam game stuff. I haven't been expecting many, if any, full playthroughs for those reasons plus it being downloadable only (had some trouble getting some things to work correctly in browser). There were some corners I had to cut as far as polish and cohesion to meet the deadline (camera controls, more interactive-ness), but that's pretty par for the course in jams. I was a little disappointed about that though because I love SCP so much and I wanted to do it justice.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the writing. It was a bit hellish going through and editing/formatting all those reports lol.
