SCP 173 Escape

Released: 2026-04-09

Step into the role of SCP-173 and break free from the Foundation’s control in a tense stealth experience built around a deadly rule: you can MOVE only when no one is LOOKING at you. Hide in the shadows, avoid patrols, and choose the perfect moment to dash through dark corridors where every mistake leads to capture.

How to play

Avoid the eyes of Foundation staff and guide SCP-173 through dangerous corridors using stealth, cover, and perfect timing to reach the exit.

Controls:
Arrow keys — character movement
Touch controls — move by tapping on the screen

Gameplay Tips

Use short bursts of movement when the Foundation staff are looking away—pause immediately if they turn toward you. Stay in dark corners or behind objects to break line of sight and stay hidden. Time your dash to the exit when guards are distracted or moving away, and avoid open spaces where detection is more likely.

Game Features

In SCP 173 Escape, players take on the role of SCP-173, a fast-moving entity that can only move when not being observed. The game revolves around stealth mechanics where players must hide in shadows, use dark corridors to avoid detection, and time their movements carefully. The objective is to reach the exit while evading Foundation staff who constantly scan the area. The environment features multiple corridors and rooms with limited visibility, adding tension to each decision. Movement is restricted to moments when no one is looking, making precise timing essential. The game emphasizes high-stakes evasion rather than combat.
