SCP: Vending Machine

About this game

Inspired by the SCP Foundation's SCP-261, in Interdimensional Vending Machine, you play as a strange, homeless girl surviving in a world that seems to have forgotten how to be normal. One night, she stumbles upon a vending machine. Not just any machine—but one that shouldn’t exist. It hums. It glitches. It responds to Japanese yen and dispenses items that defy language, biology, and maybe logic itself.


Gameplay

Interdimensional Vending Machine offers a simple yet unsettling loop of begging, feeding, and discovering:

🔹 Beg for Coins on the Street
Sit cross-legged under a midnight sky. Watch people walk by. They might look at you. They might drop a coin. They might say something strange, something cruel, or something that doesn’t feel quite human. Every coin matters.

🔹 Spend Coins at the Vending Machine
Enter the other scene: a cramped, humming liminal space where the machine waits. Insert yen, and the machine dispenses a random item from an unknown place, time, or reality. Some restore hunger. Some ease thirst. Others... don’t.

🔹 Eat or Drink to Survive
Choose carefully. Every item can help, harm, or change you. One may grant energy, another may reduce your ability to speak. One may cure thirst, another may make you forget what thirst even is. Effects are often surreal, mysterious, and sometimes irreversible.

Ratings and reviews

I love it, but I cant make it 5 stars because it doesn't pause when reading text so cant actually read 90% of anything because I end up feeling rushed to not starve. This makes it hard to explore and fully enjoy because im always starving and I dont have time to read, like if im in the map it should be paused. and once the hunger meter gets to -5 it makes the game extremely difficult to continue. I couldn't mutate really either because most things you can do just get rid of it. overal enjoyable

love the game, but this version seems to have a small visual bug in which the coins in the can will be completely off the screen until you look in the can. I am on mobile, so that may be why, but still. unless I click on the can for the first time, I cant see the coins. and even then, once I do click on the can, I can see the coins I gather, but not the ones I got before I clicked the can.

Tried it out when ManlyBadassHero started it. I experienced the older patches before the full in-depth updates (I called it the "EVERYTHING IS ANIMATED" update). It would be cool to see more of the strange stories behind every single character, have a ManlyBadass arc (Can I mutate him-), and the protagonist's story expanded. It has potential to be a strange world in a parallel SCP timeline. This was me as a PC and Mobile player.
