That SCP was both completely unexpected and completely appropriate. Also a very interesting mix of creepy and hilarious.

I nearly lost it at the description of the humanoids SCP-3008-2.

Edit: Working my way through the journal entry - my goodness this stuff is straight-up made for its own movie or Netflix series!


Check out the containment series on youtube; the latest episode is based off that SCP.

Love this series! Hope the next one is on the way!


A game that seems very inspired by the SCP Foundation itself recently came out, Control by Remedy — if you enjoyed the site and play games at all, you should check it out!


Hey I've seen the trailer for that, I hadn't read enough SCP to recognize the inspiration though. Very interesting!


I’m midway through it, and it’s one of my favourite games already. If you dig the “weird sci-fi” aesthetic, then I strongly recommend it. The physics engine is also super impressive.

(off-topic) Just curious, have you heard of the game "Control" that was just released? I've been playing it, and it borrows heavily from SCP (and I mean heavily -- it's the same concept).

Just wondering your thoughts on that, for such a big-budget production to make use of SCP concepts? Reminds me of the Slenderman films (except much much better).

Like two adolescent child molesters.


That SCP entry was not far off from the experience at the Oak Creek store:

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/store/oak_creek/indexPage

Unlike some others I've been to, it is designed as one long twisty maze from start to finish. While there are shortcuts that allow you to skip some sections, the place is so closed in it is hard to keep oriented. You can't really navigate like you would a traditional store.

I'll never go again, and I know others who feel the same way.


There was an SF story where you would teleport from one city to another by walking into (and out of) franchise stores - the high similarity between locations resulting in space-time congruency, hand-wave ...


THANK YOU, empath75, for that hilarious link. I am flabbergasted by the downvotes; the link is relevant and worthwhile.
