I really like that both the d-class and the researcher seem very human in this one

[waterbucketeer]

I actually really liked the way this one was written. instead of the average style of test subject story where the D-Class is just some expendable material, it shows the researching having actual sympathy for somebody going through something horrifically traumatic.

I loved this. As you said, it is a return to the "old school" SCP. It is anomalous for no real reason that can be determined, like a glitch in reality or something. There is minimal backstory, not being tied in with any grand war for the universe against a monstrous god-like being, or a multiversal conflict between flesh and machines. It is just a thing that shouldn't exist and yet it does. Simple, straight to the point, and scary as hell.

"Claustrophobia is a common enough fear."
Oh God, let's strap in for THIS one.

The part where he sees an opening but still decides to dig instead of going up and entering said opening is crazy, because that means he was so afraid and wanted to escape from the tree so bad that even after so many hopeless hours of digging and rotting corpses he still decided to dig more. That's what really got me in this story tbh

This is the cheery Christmas content I was hoping for today.

Just throwing this out there, I like these little one-off creepy pasta like SCP‘s. Old school as you put it. I don’t really find myself getting too entangled in the longer form sprawling canon of the bigger ones.

It would be wonderful to film this, making a truly nightmarish found-footage movie.

I'm happy to have one of these classic, shorter one-off SCP articles. The multi-part and longer stories can get intimidating and are usually hard to follow for me because of all the moving parts. It's nice to hear about a simpler, shorter one that is no less effective at being terrifying.

This definitely goes into the long list of fates worse than death that the scp verse seems to be so fond of...

[scrings]

This one hits stranger than I would have initially thought. The small detail that it's your childhood home, a place for me at least that I associate with the death of someone very near and dear to me, adds a complex feeling of fear and sadness to it. My childhood home is gone now, but I frequently see it in my dreams, along with said dead person. Such a lovely story.

I love SCP entries where we mostly follow a D-Class with a GPS tracker, a flashlight and a camera :3 - rendering the foundation helpless is a great tool to amplify the horror of the situation ^^

[pajamapantsjack]

This one really made you feel for the d class. As another scp said, they’re all human, there’s always at least a glimmer of good person in ever single one. I’m not sure who this d class was but he seemed to be undeserving of what happened to him.

[notsalty]

This SCP leaves me with a question, what exactly is so horrible about the surface that it made the d class turn back?

[Akrna]

I prefer these simpler SCPs can we get more like this? The simpler stuff makes the epic scps stand out more

[EdricLysharae]

That D-Class' radio, camera, and gps are pretty impressive, given that they're successfully transmitting and receiving *while he's buried underground*

[bryanhelvy]

I was in a brightly lit room I've been in a thousand times but I heard small noises on the edge off hearing. They were probably mundane or not even real but they freaked me out and gave me crazy chills. This one really got me.

[IIStudios]

Glad to be back to one of the shorter less complicated SCP stories. The long ones about the whole SPC world can get tedious. The plain older style SCPs are much more fun imo.

i love staying up till 3am every sunday night just to listen to your videos. despite some of them being scary, i can still count on them to help me sleep

[lightreign]

I’ve been in many tight spots, under buildings, inside pipes, excavations and in caves. If I ever start feeling claustrophobic I focus on how it’s not some increasingly tightening trap.. it’s a cozy embrace like a heavy layer of blankets. I’m being hugged by the space. I can relax, snuggle into it and slow my movements and breathing without any anxiety. It’s nice. 👍
