### 3/5 — A lot of potential

*2023-11-01*

I’ll start with the good stuff, then the bad stuff. Firstly, overall a good experience. I’m really into SCP, and I had fun beating this game. I like the flickering lights and the mechanics. I like the way SCP 137 is built. Like the title says, there is a lot of potential. Now onto possible improvements. Firstly, I would like it if the place had a bit more detail. More stuff on the walls, and even corpses from the guys it kills and in the hallways would be good. There is also a spot I found where you can phase through the wall into the outside of the map. I didn’t exploit it, just want you to know about it. I would also like a third person setting, if you could make that. But what I would most like was if SCP 137’s mechanics were different. It would be more realistic to SCP 137 in canon if it were to follow you after being provoked, but only when you blink, moving closer and closer. Like Baldi’s basics only it only moves when you blink. Then it resets when you get a paper, or close that one door on it. I saw from the updates section that you’ve updated this recently, so I can’t wait for more levels, if you add them! Thanks for your time

### 4/5 — Better than the earlier version

*2022-05-15, version 1.5*

Thanks for adding a SCP

### 4/5 — Is it a fake?!

*2021-12-22, version 1.5*

I’m confused about something, the game is fun but when I look at the App Store I see two scp containment breachs

### 3/5 — Okay

*2021-11-26, version 1.5*

This game is alright but I was doing the task things and hugging a wall so the first creature thing couldn’t see me and I glitched through the wall and ended up on top of the map and couldn’t get back in, so that sucked. Also it’s a little dark but if you turn your phone brightness up it should help a bit. Overall it’s a decent game. Good time waster ig.

### 4/5 — Game needs to be fixed

*2021-01-11, version 1.5*

When ever you were trying to get papers or something the lights are too dark you need to make the lights a little bit more brighter

### 2/5 — Too dark and glitchy

*2020-12-30, version 1.5*

This game would be superrrr fun if it was way less dark or if u gave a flash light or sum and if i couldnt jus walk threw some walls that takes me out side the building and the locked doors with the codes i can jus walk straight threw buh it jus takes me outside but like yeah this would really fun if u fixed all the bugs and gave the game a brightness setting or something

### 4/5 — Ughhh fix it

*2020-12-28, version 1.5*

So like 2 minutes in when like the power goes out and the 2 guys die there is a huge bug where you for some reason can’t close or open doors plz send help!

### 3/5 — Good game in theory but in practice here’s what’s wrong

*2020-10-26, version 1.5*

The main problem for me is lighting. I don’t mind scary lighting but where it’s so dark I have to max out the brightness on my phone and I *still* can’t see the boxes I need to open, and only found out I have to open boxes by stumbling upon them. You need to fix the lighting then you’ll have a 5/5 star game, but until then it’s practically unplayable.

### 3/5 — Not scp173

*2020-10-12, version 1.5*

When I got this game I thought that there were other scp,s but no and 2 that is not scp 173 it’s well I don’t even know what it is 3 I like how you can make yourself blink and it’s good because it makes your blink timer at the top of the screen go down but it not a good idea to me otherwise that the game is good I love it😍😍

### 4/5 — Good but hard and stuff

*2020-10-11, version 1.5*

I like the begin of the game but it’s hard and there are multiple mistakes it says SCP 137 and not 173 and there is a police tag on the guards it would be better if you fixed these also in updates ideas I got one you could add a balcony guard but anyway ignoring this the game is cool and I can’t wait for the other scps also add inventory it would be cool thank you for reading and thank you for this good game :D

### 3/5 — You can fix this game :>

*2020-10-07, version 1.5*

Add a brightness setting it’s to dark I understand the adds and all gotta make that money to fix it some how but maybe change it to only in the main menu screen not while in game and I’m sure it wouldn’t take much to give the guards white uniforms instead of the blue and change the police badge to the scp logo try and stay on task with the story I know it’s a phone game but you can make a whole lot of money and people happy and you should add some once in a while background screams to make it a bit more spoopy and possibly put the guards in so if you run into them the will attempt to shoot you if you get to close I hope you make the experience worth it thank you 🙂

### 3/5 — It is very well done

*2020-09-22, version 1.5*

What else can I say this thing is amazing though it does need some more lighting I couldn’t even see 173 comin’! also By the way this message is from the future if you can add more stuff it would be cool

### 4/5 — Way to dark

*2020-09-08, version 1.5*

I understand stand using light to lead the player but when the whole game is just so dark it gets hard to play. Besides that, it's a great game.

### 3/5 — Uhhhhh.....

*2020-08-23, version 1.5*

So I was expecting something close to the real SCP containment breech, but instead I got a game the tried, and failed at making SCP’s. Now I would’ve been okay with this if it didn’t have ads, WHENEVER YOU TALK A STEP. I’m not exaggerating. When SCP 173 is first revealed, I got an ad. Then I died the second I came back in. I restarted and expected something different. NOPE.

### 3/5 — BRIGHTNESS IS SO LOW!!!

*2020-08-15, version 1.5*

I played this game at night with no lights on and with the brightness on max and I couldn’t see anything. You can only make out hallways and you can’t see lockers, drawers, or any loot. It has potential but just needs this tiny fix first

### 4/5 — Please read the description for SCP-137

*2020-07-27, version 1.5*

Dudes, I read about SCP-137 and it matches the description for the in game SCP-137 it is not SCP-173 (though it might look like it) look, just because an SCP looks like an SCP does not mean it IS the SCP. It could be an entirely different SCP.

### 4/5 — Scp 173 NEEDS to be worked on!

*2020-07-17, version 1.5*

Ok... scp 173 dose not move when stared at its arms are moving when I look right at it. And he dose not groan... but the textures of it are good. and also, the story is not correct: the door should open... other wise 173 would not have escaped. Pleas fix this.

### 1/5 — This game lies about being NOT COPYRIGHTED

*2023-11-11*

So when you join it says Dear players this game does not have any copyrighted pictures or images from another game. BUT IT IS FINE TO USE THE SCP 173 MODEL ITS NOT COPYRIGHTING EVRY ONE USES IT AND THE SOUND EFECTS BUT THE GAME STORY IS NOT FINE ITS THE SAME TO SCP CB KNOWN AS SCP CONTAINMENT BREACH THE ONE THAT ALOB GAMES MADE MAKE THE STORY OF GAMEPLAY DIFFERENT OK. And this is why people say it’s a copy right because you’re name of the game is SCP CB Do not make it like the original that will make you copyright it BUT pls pls pls update the game like Halloween,Christmas events BUT it is copy because the game play. AND ADD some lights pls PLS but Bye hope you succeed on making games :). Wait i forgot to say there’s a wall part that you can go through and there’s no papers PLS HELP ME bye:)

### 1/5 — Please fix these

*2021-02-11, version 1.5*

This game is takable I’m sorry to say it but if your going to make a game at least know these things textures: the textures are huge and unrealistic to the main game.

Gameplay: the gameplay is good but you can easily glitch through stuff like beds and other things in the game.

Map design: the map is good just needs to be smaller.

Game thumbnail: the thumbnail is just tarable you lead people in by showing them a good graphics and textured thumbnail but when they download it’s just bad. In all honestly this feels like that scp 173 game were the mechanics are wonky and there’s no peanut.

Character designing and scp: the main scp and the only scp in the game doesn’t even act like it suppose to please fix this.

Lighting: please fix this it’s to dark and there’s no settings menu to turn up brightness that I could see.

Adds: I can get having adds is good but not every 5 or 10 seconds. Adds is a good way to get a possible sponsor but maybe next game you make should not have to many.

Thank you: thank you for giving us a good scp game it’s the first person who has tried making it for iPhone or any other platform.

### 1/5 — Bad graphics

*2020-12-09, version 1.5*

The game is good but in the pictures it show good graphics that are probably from a computer but when you open it up on mobile it has the worst graphics that almost everything looks blurry and even the guards! Overalll this is a good game but just need better looks.

### 1/5 — way too many ads

*2020-11-14, version 1.5*

Ads two ads every time you pause the game seems way overboard... Also I keep walking through walls with the only solution being to quit the game which means I have to face the bombardment of more ads.

### 1/5 — Actually pretty trash game

*2020-11-07, version 1.5*

This game is an insult towards the scp games and scp “137” doesnt move if you are far away enough and you blink, plus all the doors are already open but why, atleast put more effort into it please, the intro was ok but after that it was just a hole to hell, please do some more work on the game.

### 1/5 — Literally endless ads

*2020-10-25, version 1.5*

Start the game, no lie, 3 ads, get through first 30 second segment, 2 more ads, pause game then, 3 ads, go to main menu, 4 ads, each at least 7 seconds,

Have no idea if this ports any good, watched more ads trying to navigate the interface then I got in game. Just add a $5 no ads iap, jeez.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2020-10-21, version 1.5*

I thought is was like the real game not a ripoff I played the real one and wanted it to be on my phone but it’s nothing I’ve seen the guards look different and so does the map and peanut does not strangle you he kills you instantly and make more lights it’s flipped pitch black I could only see peanuts shiny head

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-07-30, version 1.5*

Well no offense this game was kinda disappointing because when I first looked at the game it was legit but when I played it was nothing like that so false advertising?. Also when I encounter SCP 173 when I blinked it just kills me instantly shouldn’t it move closer? In fact scp 173 dosent give out a scream it just makes a scary noise when you blink.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected at all

*2020-05-11, version 1.5*

When I went into this game I thought it was like the real game with good graphics but I have many complaints first of all please make the graphics realistic and make the SCP-173 story like the real one because the doors actually worked and if that’s the case how’d he escape containment!?! Another thing SCP-173 should follow you like the real game and I can glitch through many things like a bed so please fix this and the graphics another thing is in the real game you actually see the people die and you have to escape before he gets you so add that too please

### 1/5 — Needs lots of work

*2020-05-08, version 1.5*

First of all when you get out of the cell there is a glitch where it says follow the guards even when I was doing it. Second of all it is PITCH BLACK when you get out of the chamber. Third of all I DID NOT blink and SCP-713 still killed me. And fourth of all why does it say you DEAD? I could not even finish the FIRST PART and I tried to look it up but after that I tried like a hundred times but was still stuck. Please fix your game!

### 5/5 — 5 star best game game is the year

*2023-11-12*

First of all smash on peanut second of all this game is all I wanted from a scp game I think putting the run button right next to the joystick and making it the most uncomfortable spot is the best decision of any mobile game 5/5 would recommend

### 5/5 — Please view this

*2022-09-09, version 1.5*

So I remember playing this before the official Mobil one came out and it’s really good not as the original but it’s really good for a fan remake with only 1 guy making it!

### 5/5 — Flashlight

*2021-06-14, version 1.5*

I love the game but can’t see in the dark in the 173 level, I can’t find one, could u add one?

### 5/5 — I love it

*2021-01-02, version 1.5*

I like the game it works quite well but with a few bugs please keep updating the game

### 5/5 — Dark

*2020-07-22, version 1.5*

I can’t see anything

### 5/5 — Scared the life out of me

*2020-05-10, version 1.5*

So I opened up the door and found SCP 173 and tried to get past him. But I accidentally pressed the blink button and my screen turned red and he snapped my neck. And why does the death screen say you dead?

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2020-04-23, version 1.5*

I’ve been waiting for an update on This game.......you’ve redeemed yourself this game is outstanding great work I’m impressed!

### 5/5 — I died to object 173

*2020-04-14, version 1.5*

So I opened the door I saw him staring at me I did not blink or look away and he still snapped my neck then I had 2 questions:
1 why did he kill me when I did not blink? 2 why does the death scream say you dead? Cause that was funny’s

### 5/5 — SCP game finally

*2020-04-06, version 1.5*

The reason I give this game five stars is because it is the only SCP containment breach game yes it controls could use some work but other from that it is amazing
Edit : i used to look at the other reviews and I thought it was bad it was but the new update makes it hopefully better

### 5/5 — NEW UPDATE

*2020-04-05, version 1.5*

This update where there’s no maze and the map to the game I can tell this game got WAY Better
