AISLE 666 (SCP 3008)

a stupid game about that one scp ikea thing where most of the game is very punishing and challenging. it's built around brutal physics: shelves topple, piles collapse, and your creations can be taken out by a table.

By day the faceless staff walk the aisles and ignore you. At 22:00 the lights go out, one breaker at a time, coming toward you. Then they don't ignore you any more.

The store actually never ends

The store is generated as you walk and dropped behind you, a block at a time. Every block comes from the seed and its position, so it never repeats and every player gets the same store from the same number. Racking, showrooms, dark aisles, flooded aisles, food halls, ruins, STAFF ONLY back rooms and catwalks high over it all.

It also remembers: whatever you moved or broke is still there when you come back. Unless the staff got to it first.

Physics that will kill you

• Pick up almost anything (wardrobes and beds included), stack it, build walls, throw it.
• Pull out the bottom of a pile and the whole thing comes down. Stand on a bookcase as it tips and you ride it to the floor.
• The staff shove furniture aside and rip barricades apart, and enough of them pushing at once will bring a whole bay of racking down, with you on it.
• Throw a chair at one and it drops as a ragdoll.

AI groups that hunt by sound

The staff path through the aisles as a group and come at you from more than one side. Sound travels around the shelving, not through it, so the noise you make (running, landing hard, breathing, talking on mic) carries the way it would in a real building. Every one of them is built with its own wrong proportions. By day they quietly carry moved furniture back to where it belongs.

Surviving

• Hunger, thirst, sleep, wounds, infection and broken legs.
• Take furniture apart with the Allen key and make bandages, spears, door shields, can alarms and barricades.
• Hide in wardrobes and under beds, and hold your breath. Your heartbeat and breathing are loud enough for them to hear.
• Film the dark on your camcorder with NightShot and play the tape back later.
• Three exit signs a night, and only one is real.

Co-op

Host or join with friends: proximity voice chat (the staff hear that too), walkie-talkies, reviving downed players, and a shared save.
