I'm not an SCP lore expert, but the game does a great job at conveying the atmosphere and incorporating specific items into the gameplay, such as ███ and ██████. If you're the kind of person that reads every ship log, journal entry, bestiarium description in your RPGs/Metroidvanias, and can handle some creepy music and dark corridors, then you'll probably enjoy [Expunged]!
(The one thing I'd change is making the text in the terminals scroll a bit faster. I read fast.)

I've been looking for fangames that explore different or unique genres in interesting ways, and this one certainly lives up to that ideal. A short (<35 min for first time complete) horror which has little in the way of platforming but a lot in the way of atmosphere.
The story is based around the SCP collaborative-wiki/creepypasta series, where you're wandering around a dank underground bunker encountering all kinds of spooky and unnerving monstrosities. Most of the story is related through terminals, that operate both as save points and as a way to get more information on different monsters based on files you pick up.
The terminal info is well-handled, as you both get retrospective information of a creature you just encountered (in a "what the hell was that" kind of way) as well as foreshadowing of what is to come (which increases the tension). The music is appropriate and gives scary vibes (I believe it has music from the Silent Hill series, for instance). The use of darkness and torches is also a nice touch, and some of the monsters are legitimately creepy. There's even a jump scare in there that works well enough.
My main criticisms include; the terminal text speed is far too slow (you should have an option in the menu to speed it up 100%); some of the monsters in the files don't appear in the game, which makes me wonder what the point is (apparently 999 is in there according to the readme, but from 2 playthroughs I couldn't figure out where it was); and there just isn't an enormous amount of content or variation here.
As it is, this game is probably a 65-75, but I'll give it a boost because I love the originality and concept and want to encourage more games like this. This is exactly the kind of expectation subverting game I want to see being produced by the fangame community. If we could see a sequel that cleans up some of the issues, builds in a more detailed story, expands the monster roster and lengthens the game substantially, we could be looking at a game-of-the-year level concept.

As an ex-SCP fan, this game really hits for me. Really makes me question why I spend so much time on needle when adventure games like this can be such interesting experiences.
