Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. October 14, 2026 - Independent developer and publisher Zatun today announced that SCP: Project Pneuma will launch in Steam Early Access for Windows PC on October 25, 2026.
Set in the aftermath of a catastrophic containment failure, SCP: Project Pneuma is a single-player psychological survival horror game built around exploration, stealth, investigation, and encounters with anomalies that cannot be defeated through conventional force.
Players take on the role of Dr Alexander “Alexie” Kolchak, a Foundation researcher and one of the few survivors of Site-19. With the facility in ruins and its containment systems compromised, Alexie must uncover what happened while searching for a way to survive.
His journey leads through abandoned sectors, research facilities, forests, checkpoints, and environments overtaken by escaped anomalies. Supplies are limited, direct confrontation is rarely an option, and survival depends on understanding how each threat behaves.
The deeper Alexie travels, the less reliable his surroundings become. Hallucinations distort familiar spaces, apparent routes change without warning, and the distinction between the world around him and the deterioration of his own mind begins to disappear.
Chapter I Begins October 25
The Early Access release will include the complete Chapter I story campaign, featuring multiple explorable environments, investigation mechanics, environmental puzzles, and encounters with several anomalous entities.
Players will reconstruct the events surrounding the containment failure through journals, voice recordings, environmental evidence, and the remains of Site-19.
Sequel is currently in development and is planned to continue the story with additional locations, gameplay features, narrative content, and anomalous encounters. During Early Access, Zatun will use community feedback to guide improvements to performance, stability, balance, and overall polish.
Key Features
