Another shitty SCPF game on Roblox with an even shittier command team behind it. Urban Dictionary

An SCPF on the ROBLOX platform known for its interesting game mechanics. It's one of the only SCPFs to have a fully functioning high-way system and a unique SCP system. Unlike other SCPFs, the SCPs are controlled by players (actors) and are capable of making the gameplay more engaging for the player base. The lore is fascinating, although a bit flawed, with the facility being located 8,000 feet below the Pacific Ocean accompanied by a questionable timeline. In all fairness, the game is great. But the leadership, not so much. The O5s, SC-4s, and other department heads regularly abuse their power on-site. This is either by abusing admin commands, giving themselves special tools, or messing with FP and CD personnel. There is also a clear sign of corruption within the command structure.
