Eris Suzukami Hosts Viewers and Remia Aotsuki on a Halloween SCP: Secret Laboratory Server

VSPO — Eris Suzukami of VSPO! EN opened a server for SCP: Secret Laboratory, a multiplayer game built on the SCP Foundation horror fiction, to her viewers during Halloween week, and played with fellow VSPO! EN member Remia Aotsuki and members of the audience for more than three and a half hours. The game is free, and she asked viewers who had already played to make room for newcomers. She added that if the session went well, she wanted to host another.

In the game, humans such as scientists, class D prisoners and facility guards try to escape or survive while monsters hunt them. Suzukami, who described herself as very bad with directions, spent the opening round steering a group of scientists through the facility and ended up back where she started. That round ended with the monsters winning and only one prisoner escaping. Later rounds brought more of the same: a player whose voice was being copied by a monster, doors shut on teammates, and a candy room where taking more than two pieces proved fatal.

“This game is really fun. Especially if you’re Peanut.” — Eris Suzukami, signing off

Aotsuki, who was streaming the same session on her own channel, could not join at first. The 20-player lobby was full, and her game then froze on launch, forcing her to restart it, verify its files and reinstall before she got in about half an hour in. Playing as a prisoner and then as a zombie, she said the server’s location in Japan gave her a ping of 400 to 500, which made it hard to land a hit. Suzukami said she had wanted a 30-player lobby but that the servers could not handle it, and that Aotsuki would have had far worse lag.

Aotsuki signed off after about two hours, saying she was glad she tried the game but was not sure she would play it again unless invited, and that her favorite role was the pumpkin man, a character who can pass through walls and teleport. She sent her viewers to Suzukami’s stream and said she would be back the next day with Left 4 Dead 2. Suzukami thanked her for the raid, saying she had been too absorbed in the game to say so earlier.

Suzukami had a goal of her own: after repeated deaths, she said the night would not end until she escaped as a scientist, and she finally did, getting out first of her group before the round wound down. She closed by thanking players who helped newcomers, saying she would ask the server’s owner to keep it running as long as possible, and wishing viewers a happy Halloween before leaving to play Deadlock.
