SCP: Gallionic Is An Upcoming SCP-Inspired Animated Short

I’m a sucker for SCP-inspired works, so naturally this upcoming animated short inspired by the popular online collaborative writing project caught my eye. SCP: Gallionic is the work of indie animators Soem Studio, and it’s already been in development for several years now. Here’s the official synopsis:

SCP: GALLIONIC is an independent animated short film following the events after a catastrophic containment breach through the eyes of Matthew Vestergaard, a simple accountant working on the outskirts of the facility, and the events leading up to said breach through Jane Vestergaard, a young researcher at the facility and Matthew’s older sister. Jane is helplessly frustrated with the facility’s status quo in which containment breaches seem to be a common occurrence and the loss of staff is just part of the job. She is worried this mass apathy could lead to a catastrophic containment breach and has to scramble for a solution to all of this. Matthew, on the other hand, decides to venture within the facility after said catastrophic event, with no knowledge of what happened or even what is in this place, but with the sole goal of saving his sister.

To help fund SCP: Gallionic’s production, Soem has launched a Kickstarter campaign that’s already blown past its original goal.

Soem’s Kickstarter page has more information about the short and the world that it depicts. As for the above trailer, it certainly looks very promising. The massive SCP facility on display gives off an Evangelion vibe à la Tokyo-3’s GeoFront. As for the animation, it looks very clean and professional, and I’m excited to see it expanded to the planned 20 minutes.

SCP: Gallionic’s Kickstarter campaign ends on March 27, and Soem is currently planning to release the short this December.
