In the first part of the SCP-582 game series, you play as Dr.James, who is the new leader of the experiment on an Item called SCP-582. The goal of the game is to complete the experiment without any chaos. However, this is not an easy thing, as the SCP-582 laboratory has some secrets and puzzles that you need to solve to start the experiment.

In this game, the player controls smoothly, and the AI of the NPCs is very responsive to the player's behaviors. The world of the SCP Foundation is also responsive to the player's actions.
