Monster-investigating CYOA given a self-aware twist, July 9, 2018[Time to completion: 10-15 minutes]

The majority of the SCP wiki is much as you might expect from an encyclopaedia.
SCP-3939 - the game - follows a familiar choose-your-own-adventure style, making the stakes clear straight away. The wiki’s structure is part of the story, too, since the encyclopaedia entry appears above the game text. The more you find out about the SCP, the longer the article becomes.
What makes this more interesting is the interaction between the story and the game. Not to spoil anything, but the crux of the story hinges on the very self-aware SCP. Good fun, especially if you’re already a fan of the SCP wiki.
