- Nominate SCP: Secret Files for Labor of Love in the Steam Awards! - 22 November 2022
Please nominate SCP: Secret Files for "Labor of Love" in the 2022 Steam Awards! The SCP universe is vast and varied, and it never fails to fill us with awe. We set out to share that awe with other passionate players like us: Those enthralled by a world filled with the unexplained. Yes, sometimes it fills us with dread; but other times, it surprises us, makes us laugh, and even warms our hearts. It was incredibly challenging to convey such a wide variety of themes and tones, from comedy to horror. It flexed our every creative muscle, but your responses have been truly gratifying: "Forget every SCP game you've played so far. This one is by far the highest quality ever made.... It's a real masterpiece." “Brilliant, exquisite, astonishing.... You guys went the scenic route, to show that SCP is not just scary and horror stuff. It's everything and nothing. The stories, the possibilities -- th…

- November Devlog | DLC and Digital Art Book Update! - 14 November 2022
Long time no see, Researchers. GameZoo here! It's been a little over a month since SCP: Secret Files launched on Steam! We've received a humbling amount of praise and encouragement in that time. Ever since our studio was founded-- no, ever since the concept for Secret Files first took root in our brains!-- we've dreamed of nothing more than bringing this game to life. Indie studios always risk their road collapsing while they're in the middle of building it, and we truly could not have completed this journey without your support. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Since launch, we have slowed down on public dev updates, but have no fear: we've had our heads down following up on those tasty breadcrumbs we left you in the game (049 DLC, the main story follow up on 055, etc). By popular request, the digital concept art book is also underway! Speaking of DLC... The story will unfold…

- "The Foundation Reporter" - 30 September 2022
Dear "Karls", It is inevitable that you will have uncovered some interesting "news" related to Foundation anomalies while dealing with the secret files. For example, could the Guatemalan sinkhole be related to SCP-994? What about the mysterious corpse found in the forest northwest of Yekaterinburg? And what caused the bizarre explosion at site-300-12? Or perhaps you noticed those usual group announcements, such as: no contact with SCP-999 during working hours; no verbal abuse, or you will be injected with amnestics; SCP-343's visiting hours are changed to 14:00 daily... Now, the Foundation is authorizing YOU to create some brand site news and announcements. Submit your original content (it can be based on existing SCP content, but not directly plagiarized) in the form linked below, and we'll add our favourites to the game! The winner's name will also be added to the game's "thank you" l…
