"To those of you with families, or God forbid, children - I'm deeply, deeply sorry, you must push on. Do not let their deaths be in vain. We do still have time.
Humanity may still have a future. Come to Site-19. We need all the hands we can get.


Learn to embrace the darkness, friends. Fear the light."

SCP-001- When Day Breaks. In the SCP universe lies many anomalies, some small and unimposing and ones at cosmic horror level. Somewhere more near the latter is an SCP proposal for 001, When Day Breaks. Essentially the concept is the sun one day, during the normalcy of everyday life, turns red. Any contact with sunlight starts to sting and turn your skin red, before you turn into an abomination. Your skins melts and you slowly fall to the floor, your face turning into nothing but two black holes for eyes and a wide open mouth, with flesh dripping down like hot butter.

This is simply a pitch for someone who could take it into better hands and mold it into a proper story, i'm really just an idea guy and not much a writer. Surprising we haven't done anything to do with SCP lore in RR's beforehand as a lot of them are very expanding and provide great ideas for short little events, though of course a lot of them are based around horror, but who doesn't love some of that?

I've looked around the workshop and have gotten a few good addons that we could possibly use, citizen models of course are either ZRP or HL:NA. A couple on their own aren't that good and I'd say we would need PAC for some of this, though we haven't stayed away from using PAC before for RR's so I don't see much of the problem there. For a map an underground area will be needed or at least an area with a large interior, people will need to stay inside but can venture out with thick enough clothing and protection.

Some videos to provide visuals and overall story telling if you don't wish to read.





And some more cool (kinda gross) art.

Again, this is simply a pitch for a RR that I think could work, i'm just providing the idea.
 
Fuck yea I remember I suggested this idea sometime ago I think before HLNA

Also just wanted to mention. Last video " A hundred Voices " isn't really canon with SCP-001 it was just made as halloween video. Flesh doesn't aim to kill people and cannot turn itself into perfect looking human. I just wanted to mention it but admins can turn this into reality.
 
Oh no... Oh dear...

As a huge SCP nerd who likes to listen to SCP article readings whenever he can, I’d say you couldn’t have chosen a better scp to be the setting for a RR.

I trust that if anyone could pull this off, it‘d be you guys, so fire away.

E; Completely off topic but has anyone seen the new SCP: Overlord fan film? 10/10 would recommend.
 
story gave me chills when i first read it, think it could be fun. hard execution though.
 
I’ve been obsessed over this story since I first read it. I’ve been heavily debating on if I should buy SOMA just for the highly praised When Day Breaks mod. I’ve also been putting off writing my own piece about it out of lack of experience with writing single stories. Good horror is a very rare breed.

if justice exists in this world, then it’d allow this RR to happen.
 
I recommend buying SOMA not just for the mod. It has this great fealing of being sneaky / exploriation along with juicy lore and horror elements are great!. Especially with ocean part of the game [ Not wanna spoil which part ]. That shit scaried me so much.

I would too.

I remember playing this game very well, as the experience has kinda stuck with me. The story, atmosphere, and themes that the game explores are worth a play through if you ask me.
 
An easier way to execute this with more freedom of movement is to do the story where When Day Breaks is paired with Under London.
 
Nevermind SOMA refuses to run on my 2060 super looks like im outta luck
