Uncover paranormal activity and beyond, working for the infamous shadowy SCP Foundation

Vilnius, Lithuania – October 25th, 2024 – Indie games publisher Nordcurrent Labs, in partnership with developer Misfit Village, has today announced that the hotly anticipated first-person psychological thriller investigation game Go Home Annie will be launching on PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on December 3rd, 2024, and later next year on console. During the Indie Horror showcase, a new trailer has been released, introducing the shadowy paranormal investigation outfit, the SCP Foundation, and the metaphysical mysteries they seek to answer, which go beyond human comprehension.

In Go Home Annie you assume the role of Annie, a low-level employee of the SCP Foundation, a covert organization meant to secure and contain anomalous entities and protect the general public from them. Working for the SCP’s Replication Division, you’re tasked with testing artificially developed paranormal events. You’ll have to solve puzzles, converse with strange entities, and explore multiple paths to untangle the secrets behind the SCP’s Replication Division.

Why has an organization with the motto “Secure, Contain, Protect” created a division for replicating paranormal events and anomalous entities? Why are you tasked with repeatedly testing the same replicas, with a seemingly never changing outcome? You will need to make drastic decisions to uncover your true purpose and alter the course of your fate.

“Go Home Annie is our love letter to all things paranormal and SCP Foundation related across the internet, media and beyond”, said Mladen Bošnjak, Creative Director at Misfit Village. “Go Home Annie intimately puts players straight into the heart of the action – it’s intense, creepy, and has you question reality and what you really know. Are you ready to uncover the secrets behind the mysterious SCP Foundation?”

“We are thrilled to announce the launch date of Go Home Annie and bring this spectral experience to psychological thriller fans across the world”, said Andrius Mackevičius, Head of Publishing at Nordcurrent Labs. “The horror community has been incredibly supportive in the game’s development and we believe it will resonate with players worldwide. Whether you’re into horror, SCP Foundation, or psychological thriller games, there’s an opportunity for everyone to enjoy in Go Home Annie.”

Game’s features:

• Twisted gameplay mechanics: Utilize existing and original anomalies to solve puzzles and navigate levels.
• Explore every corner of the mysterious facility: from terrifying experiments to loose subjects, no place in the Replication Division is completely safe.

An original take on the SCP Universe: If you’re familiar with the stories of the SCP Foundation, you might find Go Home Annie has made surprising changes to them. Besides the most popular ones, you will meet and interact with many hidden gems of the SCP Foundation Wiki.
