SCP: Fragmented Minds News

With the game on its first official sale, there has never been a better time to buy the game! We’ve been hard at work polishing Chapter 01, squashing bugs, and cooking up some incredible new content for Chapter 02, check out the sneak peeks below to see what’s coming!


[h2]Chapter 02 Map Improvements: [/h2]



Chapter 02 is shaping up to be a much darker, more horror-focused experience than Chapter 01. We’re dialing up the atmosphere, tension, and SCP-centric gameplay to deliver an experience that will give players a more immersive and interesting world to dive into with new SCPs, weapons, and locations to discover!

[h2]Upcoming Crafting Overhaul: [/h2]



Crafting is getting a major expansion in Chapter 02! New crafting machines will allow you to create enhanced weaponry and unlock new environmental interactions, making gameplay deeper and more strategic. Whether you’re a seasoned survivor or a newcomer, these changes will add depth and excitement to your experience.


[h2]New Environmental Hazard: [/h2]



Turrets are making a deadly comeback in Chapter 02. These automated threats will need to be dealt with before adventuring through certain areas, however, they will also be useable to kill certain new SCPs that will be making an entrance in Chapter 02.

[h2]Get Early Access Now![/h2]

With these awesome new updates coming hot in Chapter 02, now is an amazing time to get in on Early Access and get the game, as well as ALL future chapters, for an AMAZING price!

Hey everyone!

Below we have our first-ever hotfix for SCP: Fragmented Minds. We have been working extremely hard over the last week watching videos, reading reviews, and checking discussion posts to see the biggest points of pain for players and we have since edited some areas of the level and added various features that we think will address some of the biggest issues players were facing on Day 1.

There will be a couple more patches for stuttering, general performance and more coming too so these are just the start to a slew of big fixes that will be in Chapter 01 and you can expect many more throughout the life of the game!


NOTE: This update is NOT save compatible due to changes in the map, if you have a current save of the game -- make sure to play on New Game so you don't get locked by map changes conflicting with your save data!


Bug Fixes and Improvements:

Crashes and Stability:
- Fixed 14 crashes across various areas of the game.
- Applied a fix for sublevels sometimes failing to load.
- Fixed an issue where a save could get corrupted in the Skybridge area.

AI Behavior:
- Fixed an issue where the Elder and Scout AI would constantly shuffle when trying to rotate toward the player while directly in front of them.
- Fixed AI visual detection through walls.
- Fixed an issue where the Elder would send the player to a random location during the tackle attack.
- World objects (e.g., fire extinguishers) now properly alert AI when hitting walls or the ground.
- Explosions now correctly alert nearby AI.

Gameplay and Interactions:
- Improved door interactions: Doors can now be closed by looking through the frame.
- Fixed power core sockets not loading correctly under certain conditions.
- Increased wrench range by 20 centimeters.
- Fixed an issue where the inventory could disappear after the collapsed hallway cutscene.
- Dev Note: This was a rare but serious issue that we couldn’t reproduce internally. As a safeguard, we’ve added a save spot before the cutscene, creating a separate save slot players can return to if their inventory disappears.
- Exiting a computer screen playing an audio log no longer stops the audio log.
- Starting a different audio log from the game menu while another is playing will now stop the currently playing log.
- Removed an extraneous button from the Parking Garage.
- Removed interaction prompts and lights from most of the Hangar’s doors.
- Fixed an issue where the energy drink was healing instead of restoring stamina, as described.

UI and Accessibility:
- Added an option for keyboard users to customize PDA input bindings.
- Improved elevator interaction text to clarify when there’s no power or if the elevator is in motion.
- Added hints to the Codex for better player guidance.

World Polish and Improvements:

Environment Detailing:

- Added flares to a few containers, allowing players to use flares before crafting them.
- Fixed a random cart prop in the Gen Room hallway that was clipping into a wall.

Lighting and Visuals:
- Changed the vent light in the Gen Room puzzle area to blue for better visibility.
- Made the light in the vent above the hallway more visible to help players notice it when sneaking past the last Scout enemy.
- Dimmed the orange light shining on the map in the Flooded Tunnels to prevent it from washing out the image.
- Adjusted the glass transparency in the Hangar Control Room by 20%.

Collision and Navigation:
- Edited collision around the biomass in Storage Room B area.
- Fixed collision of the Broken Fan Cover and Semi Trucks in the chase sequence to prevent players from getting stuck.

- Added collision volumes around the blocked path next to the platforming section entrance.

Gameplay Tweaks:

- Made some jumps in the platforming section slightly easier.
- Added a second Fire Extinguisher at the start of the second half of the game for experimentation.

- Added shutters to the Security Room of the Gen Room area to make it feel less exposed
Miscellaneous:
- Fixed leaf textures clipping through the wall in the first Locker Room on the left side.

This has been an incredible experience for us from both a development and personal standpoint and we couldn't be happier to have shared this insane road with you all -- and we are so excited to keep pushing to a full 1.0 launch with your amazing support!

Chapter 01 is your introduction to the story, mechanics, and some of the various creatures and items you'll find around the facility, and as development goes on we will be adding new chapters as a free update featuring different SCPs, characters, weapons and upgrades to create a really memorable experience for players. At the bottom of this post (and on the Steam page) you'll see a roadmap of planned chapters and roughly which SCPs you'll encounter in which chapter so you have a good idea of where things will go through our journey in Early Access.

We can't wait for you all to finally enter into Site-113 for the very first time and start to meet the creatures and people that will shape your journey. There are some fun encounters in Chapter 01 and an especially fun ending section we hope you really enjoy.

It would also mean everything to us to share the game to your friends and tell people about it! Word of mouth on social media means everything and we absolutely want to hear your thoughts and ideas for things to add to future chapters!
