Containment Facility - a new Cleve Blakemore game

[Ethan Duvall]

Containment Facility

A physics-driven, interactive survival horror game similar to Penumbra and Amnesia inspired by the SCP trope!
Screenshots of the game in development will be available here shortly.

There are NO WEAPONS in the game of any use against threats and no traditional game mechanics.
The user interface is minimalist and pursues the least-intrusive policy for inventory management.
Emphasis is on atmosphere, narrative, exploration and authentic terror of the unknown. Graphic violence and gore is non-existent or very minimal in most parts of the game.

The game is heavily influenced by this seminal essay on survival horror by the architect of the Penumbra series.
The general premise is an idea that the author has been toying with for nearly ten years or more. It has excellent dramatic structure, a solid experience and multiple endings. It should appeal to both the fans of the SCP universe as well as traditional horror enthusiasts.

The engine is based on a previous effort we were undertaking called CORPSE CREW. We woke up one morning in September 2011 and realized “zombie seige” was done to death, literally. We had a long think about the game we really wanted to make and began development on CONTAINMENT FACILITY using many of the resources, assets and pipeline we had developed for CORPSE CREW.

Coming to a Thursday near you

Someone should convince Cleve to post at the Codex again.

 

[Jaesun]

He's to butthurt.

And a new game announcement. When he can't even finish just ONE?

 

[MetalCraze]

True ubermenschen develop 3 games at once

 

[Hobo Elf]

I'm surprised Cleve hasn't announced that he's also working on a MMO.

 

[Berekän]

Well, this has been on the making for more time:

Oh boy, an old school RPG and a survival horror game! Can Cleve do no wrong?

Screenshots of the game in development will be available here shortly.

By 'shortly' he means in about 10 years.

 

[Stabwound]

Can we stop giving this troll attention?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

You'll believe that a SV LP can be updated!

 

[Menckenstein]

Is this a Phantom Console exclusive?

 

[treave]

Uh, what happened to Grimoire?

 

[Konjad]

the same that has been happening for a decade now.

 

[Menckenstein]

Uh, what happened to Grimoire?

The bug list is still printing.

 

[Konjad]

Well, you can download it there if you want to see Grimoire for yourself:

An awesome thing about Grimoire is the in-game list of shout-outs it has to other games. It's called "inspirations" or something. More games should have that.

The ending is just... Prosperous

[Spectacle]

Are those the "melonheads" that Cleve occasionally talks about?

Translation: Cleve was working on a game for ages, then suddenly thought - as he usually does when he's made some progress on his game - that it's not perfect and changes everything, leading to a development cycle longer than Duke Nukem Forever.

[Luzur]

wait... isnt this based on SCP Foundation? i remember the melonhead guy, he is kinda like the Weeping Angels, you blink, hes got you.

 

[Mortmal]

Hes toying with the idea since 10 years, so dont get any hopes, it means another 30-40 years of development minimum . Oddly the grimdarkly blog has not been updated since may, probably means grimoire is definitively shelved, so sad at 95%....http://goldeneragames.com/
Only the blog is mentioned on the site , no more rpgwatch either!

 

[sgc_meltdown]

I bet Cleve considers himself to be a keter-level SCP

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

When the first semidestructive investigation of Lascaux was authorized by the French government in over a century, archaeologists were permitted to scrap tentatively at the pristine paintings on the walls to determine what was underneath. That's when they began to realize that in many instances, the artwork had been painted over dozens or in some cases hundreds of times.

They began to sense somewhat the character of the people who were responsible for these caves. Acting on a hunch, they excavated the mud beneath their feet, revealing every square inch of the floor had been carved with designs and amazing reliefs. A brand new picture began to emerge of people with radically different psychology than Homo Sapiens, minds so foreign they could be considered the opposite in most regards.

They tried to grasp how somebody with the strength of six ordinary human beings and a 1900 cc brain could spend hours by candlelight painting over their own work obsessively, compulsively, repeatedly as if they were in the grip of some terrible madness which Sapiens could never understand. They were never happy with their own work and were constantly in the process of redoing it over and over again.

What were they painting? Hunting scenes, tribal magic, ritual symbols? No, incredible as it seems, there was almost none of this at Lascaux. What these supermen enjoyed painting to perfection were pastoral scenes of aurochs and other animals at leisure in the fields with anthropomorphic herp-derp features similar to a Far Side cartoon.

Slowly, agonizingly the paleontologists came to the mind blowing conclusion that the Neanderthal people were possible the most severely, appallingly retarded race of hominids that has ever existed on the planet - and they were our direct line ancestors in Europe.
