Sometimes the scientists of the SCP Foundation run into an item with infinite potential for experimentation, revealing an ecosystem of interactions between the most interesting objects in the facility. To click on a single article is to jump into one of the deepest internet rabbit holes of your life, so turn down the lights, and open up a few tabs (and whatever you do, definitely stay away from SCP-231). These are just a few suggestions I have based on the characteristics and themes they share with the game (as well as a few exceptional entries I threw in just for fun). There are literally thousands of entries, so by no means could this ever be a comprehensive list. If youвЂ™re wondering where to begin, really, thereвЂ™s no perfect place to hop on the merry-go-round that is the SCP Foundation. But that makes each entry all the more delicious, as it lets the mystery build with each SCP as you read their containment procedure before their description. The SCP Foundation doesnвЂ™t have either, so their containment procedures are much more complicated. It also benefits from a substance called Black Rock, which insulates and subdues an objectвЂ™s powers. A major difference, however, is that Control is also set in a labyrinthian building whose dimensions and features are constantly shifting and reshaping. Both delight in sharing side stories and slice-of-life flourishes through mundane aspects of its inner world like internal memos and messages scrawled on office marker boards. The Federal Containment Bureau, and their efforts to track down and imprison Altered Items, share a lot of similarities with the SCP Foundation: a collection of volatile paranormal objects, batches of blacked-out report documents, a hierarchy of bureaucratic clearance levels, and a secret facility staffed by an endless supply of faceless scientists ready to die for the cause. If youвЂ™re already a fan of the SCP project (which stands for Secure, Contain, Protect), then itвЂ™s hard to see Control as anything but an unofficial SCP game. If you like Twin Peaks, X-Files, or even Deadly Premonition, you can understand the appeal. Both it and Control capitalize on that tantalizing contrast between the supernatural and skepticism: the sterility of an intelligence body that attempts to tame chaos by formally observing the unknown. The web-based collaborative fiction project, best described as our generationвЂ™s Twilight Zone, is a giant database of paranormal objects, places and ideas, cataloged in a Wikipedia-like format of containment reports that detail the efforts to capture and detain them.

If you loved Control but arenвЂ™t yet a fan of the SCP Foundation, now is the perfect time to get into it.
