Just existing in the SCP universe is a survival situation.

A simple SCP with an impressive execution

Beyond the creativity of presentation, it's also great from a Paleontological perspective. All of the discovered species are twists on actual extinct species with cool speculative evolution ideas.

[Neoentrophy]

I feel like alleviating boredom by attracting progressively larger predators into your camp doesn't seem like a wise idea, especially when a body has already vanished 😂

The Dig is one of the best point and click adventure games of all time, I kept thinking of it during this S.C.P. so hearing you mention it at the end was very cool.

Huh. Y’know, despite the possible “bad endings” this one was…refreshingly mundane from a story perspective. Love the presentation, and honestly love the “yea sometimes anomalies aren’t world ending or catastrophic, sometimes they’re just *there*.” Vibe of it all.

[warlordsquerk]

I think what makes this memorable is that - at least in the first ending - she actually survives, learns some new things and the SCP ISN'T the end of the world

I love how simple this article is. In other SCP tales, u hear researchers talk about how mundane their day to day work is JUST before an apocalypse but this experience kinda sells to me the idea that it's not all drama all the time. Sometimes, they have to just sit around and look at stuff until help comes.

Ahhh yes! The good old Oregon trail type of SCP. Love it+

[Draedoon]

Little note, the "Tea Lily" is a crinoid, a type of deep-sea animal, not a plant.

Honestly, the way this one is presented goes WAY far into making it one of my favorites ever. So well done, and I have to applaud IronShears.

[yeetusmcteetus]

Ah, awake at such a terrible time, but blessed with an ExS video.

The SCP universe is actually a pretty good fit for adventure games. Anomalies are inherently puzzly in nature, there's always something that has to be "solved", and there's a lot of story that can be delivered through dialogue or documents in a way that doesn't feel forced.

I really like SCPs that are games. Makes me nostalgic for the free companion games you could download for Cat Ghost, they were really creepy.

I have been litteraly looking for this scp article for so long I never got to finish the gane when I first came across it

[KyanoAngl_Mtvtks]

Been a while since I looked into the SCP wiki. When I checked this SCP out, I wasn't expecting a cool browser game.

[Drefsab]

This reads almost exactly like a Warren Fahy novel, with a cave full of unknown creatures that have created their own biome over hundreds of millions of years.

What a wonderful way to do an SCP article

[KPX]

I think the canon is the researcher did survive. While there a number of article with why is this guy even hired, we would not be getting anything contain if every personnel is like that.

[magnolia]

I like the skip and the point/click format. But what really excites me are all the amazing creatures in this story. The tea lilies are actually a species of crinoid, not plant at all. And a terrestrial radiodont is amazing. I want to know everything about this ecosystem! Conodonts and euryptids and trilobites, oh my!
