Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Access to SCP-XXXX is to be restricted to personnel with 5/XXXX clearance. All copies of SCP-XXXX are to be kept in a standard containment cell. Upon discovery of a new copy, the owner of said copy is to be interrogated regarding any knowledge or usage of SCP-XXXX and subsequently given Class-B amnestics. Any usage of SCP-XXXX should be logged in Document-XXXX-Alpha.
Following Experiment XXXX-04, all further testing with SCP-XXXX has been suspended.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a digital Sandbox-RPG game named "Choose Your Own Adventure", published by ████████1 in 1998, on Compact Disc. SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when a person (hereby referred to as "player") begins a new game.
The player will then be prompted to create a new character. They will be required to provide a name, and an avatar via selecting an image file on their computer. The avatar chosen must be a portrait picture or drawing of any individual (hereby referred to as "target"), living or dead, provided they have made any kind of choice in their lives. When given an invalid2 avatar, an "Invalid Avatar" error will be displayed, and the player will be prompted to choose another one.
When the player presses "New Game", the game will begin at a point in the target's life before they have made a random 2-option choice34. The surrounding area in the game is consistent with the corresponding area of the event in real life.
The player is able to freely roam around the area and interact with any NPCs5, and will eventually notice a character, object or place with a bubble floating above them. When the player approaches said bubble, they will be presented with any dialog relevant to the event and will be prompted to choose between the two options, the first option always being what the target chose originally. Further testing has shown that in the case that the choice has already been altered by SCP-XXXX, the new choice will be displayed as the first option instead.
Upon selection, the game will crash and the specific copy will become unplayable for the next 24 hours. The altered choice will affect the current world's history through retrocausality. All individuals affected, other than the player, will accept the new reality as historical fact, being made completely unaware of the previous history.
To date, all attempts to decompile SCP-XXXX have failed.
Since its original discovery in ██/██/1998, ██ copies of SCP-XXXX have been found, each one acquired through different means than the last.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was brought into Foundation custody on ██/██/1998 after Andrew M██████ called the local police force in a highly distressed tone, and reported that "A game has literally changed [his] life". Undercover Agent ████████ arrived shortly after and confirmed the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX. Andrew M██████'s personal computer has been confiscated, and Andrew was taken for questioning6 and given Class-B amnestics.
Addendum XXXX-A: Interview Log:
Interviewed: Andrew M██████
Interviewer: Dr. Ladenheim
Foreword: Andrew M██████ has been questioned about his acquisition of SCP-XXXX, and the events that he may have changed.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Ladenheim: Hello Andrew, my name is Dr. Ladenheim, and I'm here to ask you some questions about the game. How did you acquire the item?
Andrew: I was at a garage sale on 21st █████ street, and I asked the old lady if she had any video games because [EXTRANEOUS DATA EXPUNGED]. She sold me this disk and said that it's a new game that she bought for her grandson, but he wasn't interested in playing it.
Dr. Ladenheim: Thank you. What did you do in the game that prompted you to call the police?
Andrew: [EXPLETIVE], man. Do I really have to tell you?
Dr. Ladenheim: It would be very helpful if you did.
Andrew: If you say so. Well, I started up the game after I got home, and it asked me to give it a name for my character and then my picture. When the game started it put me in this restaurant, and I was sitting near a table, with a girl opposite to me. She had this info bubble above her head so I walked up to her, and she started talking and eventually got down on her knees and asked me to marry her! Well it's a game so I figured I could just say no, but then the game crashed. No big deal, right? Well, a few hours later my wife didn't come home from work, so I decided to call her. She acted like we broke up years ago, and told me to never call here again.
At this point, Andrew began to cry.
Andrew: I really loved her, man. I tried calling her again after an hour, figuring that maybe it was some sick joke, but she just replied with "How could I be your wife? You were the one who said no to me!", and hung up.
Dr. Ladenheim: I see. This restaurant that you mentioned, does it pose any significance to you?
Andrew: What? I don't know.. I think it might be where my wife proposed to me, it makes sense, too.
Dr. Ladenheim: Thank you.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: After checking, the property at 21st █████ street appears to be abandoned, and has been for 10 years as of 1998. In addition, the property has no garage to speak of.
Addendum XXXX-B: Shortly after its discovery, another copy of SCP-XXXX was found, belonging to Tiara G███████. Said copy has come into the Foundation's attention after Tiara has shown it to several close friends, one of which called the police. Tiara's personal computer has been confiscated. When questioned, Tiara G███████ claims to have found the copy on her doorstep. The involved parties were given Class-B amnestics.
Given the possibility of the existence of additional copies and the difficulty in discovering them, SCP-XXXX has been reclassified as Keter.
Document #XXXX.76b: Experiment Logs:
Experiment Log XXXX-01
Date: ██/██/████
Player: Dr. Ladenheim
Target: D-750662, originally imprisoned for the murder of his wife.
Options: "Go out with Lynda" and "Stay at home and finish the assignment". The second option has been selected.
Result: D-750662 had vanished. When challenged, on-site personnel assured Dr. Ladenheim that there has never been a D-750662. Database checks confirm this. Further checking concluded that Mason M███, previously D-750662, lives an average life of no crime in Brighton, UK.Note: SCP-XXXX seems to prefer choices that have a major impact on the target's life. Further testing is recommended. ~ Dr. Ladenheim
[EXTRANEOUS DATA EXPUNGED]
Experiment Log XXXX-04
Date: ██/██/████
Player: Dr. Ladenheim
Target: D-938501, recently terminated due to lack of compliance with Foundation personnel during SCP-████'s containment protocol.
Note: Background given by SCP-XXXX suggests that D-938501 was instructed to stay away from a control panel, which she approached anyway.
Options: "Turn the lever to the left" and "Turn the lever to the right". The second option has been selected.
Result: D-938501's time of death remained unchanged. Upon further inspection, it is now apparent to Dr. Ladenheim that a containment breach by SCP-████ has recently occurred on Site-72.Note: SCP-XXXX appears to be unable to change an individual's time of death. ~ Dr. Ladenheim
