SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained on 10 server banks in site-19’s intranet, online containment cell. Testing must be approved by the Otherworlds Division, by a member with clearance level 4. Access to SCP-XXXX is to be limited to one designated computer in light containment cell 019-0263-XXXX (see addendum 2). Any persons in direct contact with SCP-XXXX must be admitted to psychoanalysis within one day of contact.
Any online attention to SCP-XXXX is to be monitored by Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 (Red Herrings) and dealt with as they see fit.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a computer game in the MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) genre, produced by the now defunct ████████ LLC, named Skyline: the Fallen City. Advertising for SCP-XXXX before its release showed gameplay footage of a modern-day magical setting with much attention being paid to the main hub of the game, a city based on New York City, United States. This gameplay footage showed missions such as defeating a mafia leader as a raid boss, and suburban warfare.
SCP-XXXX has an estimated 5 million Non-Player Characters (SCP-XXXX-1 though 5000000) a feat that the game engine under normal circumstances cannot sustain. In addition, these instances of SCP-XXXX act and behave with a very complex Artificial Intelligence that acts near human like. These instances act as though they are players of SCP-XXXX, speaking in the in-game chat function, and joining players on raids. Data mining in Skyline: the Fallen City, has revealed that the NPC AI is standard compared to other games of the MMORPG genre.
After having been exposed to SCP-XXXX, persons involved begin to become less self-reliant, often relying on other to do their tasks for them. If treated within approximently one week of initial exposure by psychoanalysts, this effect can be reversed. Subjects not given treatment will eventually lose all self-reliance.
Due to its extensive marketing campaign, Skyline: the Fallen City, was a highly anticipated game. Its unique setting and high-quality graphics lead to excitement around the gaming community. Skyline the Fallen City was declared canceled by foundation agents, citing the lack of funding and the bankruptcy of ████████ LLC as factors.
SCP-XXXX was discovered after a series of deaths related to malnutrition were reported in ██████, ████ near the publishing company. All those effected were documented as “Beta testers” for Skyline: the Fallen City. Following a raid of the publishing company it was revealed that no records of any persons working on designing SCP-XXXX. Reviewing the tapes of the space reserved for ████████ LLC, showed several instances of security gaurds, the building manager, and others speaking with an unknown entity that does not show up on the cameras. When questioned, the building Manager said the studio had been working hard on this game for nearly two years. They paid their rent on time and even invited him to their office parties.
Addendum XXXX-1:
Below is an attempt to interview instances of SCP-XXXX using the in-game chat log:
SCP-XXXX-3978908 (Panguard09): looking for help in hempsme square any takers
Dr Wiggins(ExcaliburXXXX): Hey guys, I am a bit of a noob, could someone help me learn the ropes?SCP-XXXX-1340370(xxSniper7xx): lol
SCP-XXXX-0401168: Happy to, what do you want to know
SCP-XXXX-5230029: on my way to hempsme
Dr Wiggins(ExcaliburXXXX): So what can you do here? In the ads they showed a few things I don’t understand. Can you really lord over a skyscraper?
SCP-XXXX-0924574(FreindlyWeird):Bow down before the King of Summerset tower!
SCP-XXXX-0401168(YellowJacket007): Woah, slow down. your on of those players from Earth right, thought we would be getting more of those.SCP-XXXX-1498320(KaiserinHolly): not that that gameis any good anyway
SCP-XXXX-1498320(KaiserinHolly): i mean, the graphics are fine, butwhat even are you even supposed to do
SCP-XXXX-1498320(KaiserinHolly): they created a giant world and aside from the od devent war nothing happens
Note: The chat conversation drifted to people due to the limitations of earth hardware as to the cause of the lack of gameplay. Dr Wiggins attempted to get SCP-XXXX-0401168’s attention for several minutes.
SCP-XXXX-0401168(YellowJacket007): Sorry guys, have to go
[YellowJacket007] has gone offline
<End Log>Closing Statement: Dr Wiggins was unable to get any response from the remaining instances of SCP-XXXX in chat so he logged off. Limitations of the in-game chat for interviews make it difficult to speak to any one of the SCP-XXXX instances.
Addendum XXXX-2
Test Log
Objective: Play SCP-XXXX with a team and beat a raid boss.
Result: All researchers accessing SCP-XXXX experienced a rapid decrease of self-reliance. All involved in the team no longer expressed a will to care for themselves and were brought to the site hospital. Recovery efforts are ongoing.
Hypothesis: If a number of human players are online at the same time, SCP-XXXX exhibits its anomalous features at an exponential rate. Further testing required.
Addendum XXXX-3:
Dr. Wiggins,
It has come to our attention that SCP-XXXX houses a potentially sentient civilization. Under the direction from the ethics committee, we relieve you of research on SCP-XXXX, as it falls under our purview. Our committee strives to keep worlds such as SCP-XXXX untampered with so that we can study their behaviors. A formal warning has been issued for nonessential tampering in Otherworlds affairs.
Dr. Hath,
Otherworlds Division Chief
