China's SCP Foundation-related content has been through a long period of silence after it was defined as cult content by the Chinese government. That was until recently; now, a Chinese indie game called SCP: Secret Files has released its trailer.

Like most of the SCP games of today, players of Secret Files will play as a scientist in the foundation, responsible for re-securing dangerous supernatural monsters that break through the shelters and ensuring the smooth operation of the SCP Foundation. The game contains a large number of readable documents. Most of them are the measures and precautions for securing monsters, and players must strictly comply with them at all times to ensure their safety and successfully complete the work of re-securing the creatures. According to the introduction on the Steam store page, the game will contain some classic SCP monsters, such as SCP-049, which appears many times in the trailer, as well as some monsters created by the developers themselves. Players need always to pay attention to the collected documents and experimental video to understand the behavior pattern and danger of the monster and develop the most reasonable plan to secure them again.

In order to simulate how SCP Foundations work in the multi-universe, the game has made a variety of art styles, you may be exploring a bright and warm pixel world, and in the next second, you will be pulled to a dark and scary laboratory to find escaped monsters.

Developers said the SCP Foundation's world-building is vast, and each story has a very different thematic style. They hope to use a mix of different game styles to let players experience SCP Foundation's fantastic fantasy of the unknown. The game has not yet announced a specific release date but will be released in 2022
