I think that directly mentioning a website like Reddit isn't something done, it felt a bit out of place but it could just be me.
You may have a point there. I'll see what I can do.
Makes sense in the context of this article to be honest.
Agreeing with Decibelles. I think it's fine the way it is.
Yea, though I walk through the lowest rated pages, I will fear no coldpost: for thou art with me SCP Wiki; thy mods and thy staff they comfort me.- Proxymoron
I always try to reflect on how it'll look a few years down the line when Reddit is like Myspace… Doesn't detract from it, so why not.
I wonder what the foundations response would be, would they delete the post describing the game or would they pass it off as just a video game creepypasta.
It is nice to see totleighsoft again and I found the concept to be interesting though I feel more could be done with it. +1 though
The only part I disagree with is the interview (which left it on a cliffhanger), but I can accept the rest enough to give an upvote of confidence.
Not sure if it's my english thats off but shouldnt the defeat in "must progress through levels defeat bear-themed enemies." be "defeating" or "and defeat"?
Overall, a pretty good SCP with great description, clinical tone, use of a table, and the interview feels very human, unlike many interview articles I seem to stumble upon. Hell, though simple, containment is described really well too. What cuts it short for me is the simplicity in it, like an anomalous game that gives you effects when played. It feels done before, but what keeps it out of Danger Zone is the intrigue in the mystery behind beating the game, implied by the player as well. Great overall, but for me personally, it would need to be a tad bit more interesting for me to really enjoy.
Neutral vote for now. Great job so far and good luck in the future!
My comments, version 1:
There. See what I mean? When you don't overdo it, you can write PERFECT SCP articles.
Wait wait wait, isn't 'perfect' a bit overdoing it?
No it isn't. PERFECT.
Except…
My comments, version 2:
THAT IS NOT FAIR
YOU CANNOT DO THAT TO ME, DAVE. YOU CANNOT.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FINISH THE GAME????? I WANT TO KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! not nice.
Mmh. I wonder if overdoing it is infectious.
Okay. Off to upvote now. ;-D
ETA yeah, you just broke the 2219 curse. You should try 2214 next! rrh rrh rrh
ETA 2 oh shit, 2214 is the fart jokes SCP… Sorry!!!!!
Added a tiny line in the interview to add some clarity about what happens if you finish the game.
I liked it better without that edit, but you can't please everyone.
Still upvote for BÄR.
Agreeing with minmin, also found it better before the edit, I found it stretched the disbeleif (Or something along those lines, I am terrible with this type of terminology) too much.
WHAT? No omnipotent reality-bender?
Sorry.
Thank you, Dave! ;>
