About this game
How many people were lost to the eternal stairwell before it was shut away from the world? What happened to those cursed to walk the liminal spaces for eternity?
Descend the stairwell armed with nothing but a torch and some pieces of chalk while you attempt to keep the monsters at bay. You do not take the journey alone as you are guided by recordings of those who came before. Uncover the reasoning behind the stairwell and look for the exit, if there is one.
- Stealth Indicator: While moving through the stairwell, every action from running, to direct light, to proximity will increase your chances of getting caught. Manage when to make a break for it to avoid capture.
- Limited Saves: The only way to save the game is by marking the walls with pieces of chalk. Choose carefully when and where to save.

Post Release updates and controller changes
A portion of the playerbase has been experiencing issues with their mouse and or console controller not working with the game. While not ideal, an in game fix has been added to the opening movement prompt for those who cannot look around with the mouse. (Esc>Settings>Switch invert mouse on and off) We have added this so that people can continue playing the game while we look into the issue. For those who were looking to play with a controller, we have currently "removed support" on the steampage so as to not disappoint future players while we investigate the issue. We will reinstate this support when the problem has been fixed. For those who purchased the game hoping for controller support, we understand if you don't want to wait for this fix and instead want a refund. We will post an update when we can confirm all players can use a controller. For those wanting to try using their XBox/Playstation controller now however, it may still work for you we just cannot guarantee it. Thanks!Read full article on Community Announcements (PixelDripGames)Patch NotesOfficial
Post Release Update 1
While we continue to look into why some players cannot use their controllers or the mouse when starting the game, prompts on how to fix issues from the settings menu have been added to the opening movement prompt. We are aware this isn't a proper fix but will hopefully allow players to keep playing the game while we investigate further.Read full article on Community Announcements (PixelDripGames)AnnouncementsOfficial
SCP: Descent Now Available!
Grab your coopy today to take advantage of the launch discount! For those who have played the demo here is a list of changes you will find for the full version: - A small portion of players experience issues with the camera not moving with the mouse. We are still looking into this but the fix for now is to open and close the settings menu. Some people have found inverting the mouse controls back and forth fixes it but you shouldn't have to go to that extent. - The first puzzle has been changed to something easier to understand (and to give demo players a new experience) - Added graphics quality settings - Fixed bug when hitting escape while looking at an item that would leave said item on screen as you continue to look around. Enjoy the spooks!Read full article on Community Announcements (PixelDripGames)
