My third RPC and my first RPC that is a living thing rather than an object. Big thanks to Enkrum for this one.
This is really spooky, but the whole 'the brains are still alive!' is a little on the nose. How would we be able to tell if they're afraid, and how did this octopus get out of its cell in the first place? Just seems like too much of a leap of logic.
To be fair, real-life octopi are master escape artists. Like seriously, they escape cages specifically designed to hold them.
Classic horror with plenty of originality. I hate how SCP moved on from such themes; this article shows that the content is far from exhausted.
The Directorate warning needs updating to fix the colour-matching issue, and you keep failing to capitalize Site.
considering that the authority didn't cover up the fail-safe incident i see no reason why they'd lock the "true" rating of this anomaly.
Also it's just kinda meh, 1 for now but 2 or 3 if you get rid of the lore breaking stuff
Let’s start off the bat with a very messy tone, it’s all over the place. Second of all, I don’t see why they would hide the RPC’s real rating, it makes no sense, and that file is just infodump that breaks the flow of things in the wrongest of ways, it creates no fear, just makes me go “wuh”: subverting expectations only works when you subvert them in a way that works, otherwise it’s just disappointing.
I will say the concept is very interesting even if it does just play on the whole “Octopuses are smart” stereotype, but the article lacks what it needs to be bearable to me.
