SCP Dark Zone is an online game set in the SCP universe, combining realistic mechanics with complete chaos.
This game combines SCP lore with arcade gameplay. I'll prove it to you with the example of SCP 096.
In SCP lore, it is a very dangerous object because it is not vulnerable to weapons or other human actions.
You might be wondering how to create an invulnerable SCP 096 in an online game when you can play as both him and humans. This is possible thanks to the following mechanics.
"Take by the hand":
» When you play as a human, you can take SCP 096 by the hand and lead him to the evacuation zone
» But to take SCP 096 by the hand, it takes 1 to 4 people, depending on the HP of the object
» "take by the hand" is the only way to fight 096 (without shooting)
HP system:
» SCP 096 also has HP, but it is not vulnerable to weapons at all
» When SCP 096 is in a state of aggression, it loses HP (This ensures that SCP 096 cannot stay in aggression forever and must finish its targets quickly), and when it is in a state of rest, it slowly recovers it
Time of aggression:
» SCP 096 will not lose aggression until it kills all targets who look at it in the face
Result:
» As a result, SCP 096 becomes truly terrifying - looking at its face is deadly
» We will also get a deterrence mechanic in which weapons play no role
I was only talking about 096, but there are a bunch of other SCPs that can also be turned into arcade and lore at the same time.
I am not positioning SCP Dark Zone as “the best SCP game.” It is simply different.
You can also test the prototype on itch.io (https://arab-1.itch.io/scp-dark-zone)
