SCP-020, or the "Unseen Mold", is an SCP object that can be encountered in Project Resurrection, and Box of Horrors. It was added in v0.2.0.
Description
SCP-020 is a fast-spreading fungal organism that is capable of affecting the senses and behavior of living creatures, including humans. Samples of SCP-020 exhibit an unknown effect that renders them effectively invisible to direct observation, even when under a microscope. SCP-020 is only visible to humans when viewed through photographic or video surveillance.
Once SCP-020 forms a colony, usually within a human residence, it will produce spores that affect the behavior of humans around it. Affected subjects will increase the heat and humidity within their homes to create an environment more suitable to the growth of SCP-020. Affected subjects also become more sociable in many cases, and often invite acquaintances to their homes to further spread the organism. As the spores and mold colonies are invisible to affected subjects, the mold may sometimes grow directly on living subjects. As the spores and colonies within a home approach critical concentration, the health of affected human subjects will rapidly deteriorate, resulting in death.
In-game
Box of Horrors/Project Resurrection
SCP-020 can be found in its containment chamber with level 4 or higher key card needed to enter.
If the player wears a night vision goggle, they can see the growth of fungus already spreading out from the canister.
However, it does not do anything as of yet.
Trivia
- According to one of the Box of Horrors developer, InnocentSam, he and Prune had attempted of finding a way of making SCP-020 implementation useful. One of the ideas was to have a rare item that can get the player infected by the fungus and needing the pill or a hazmat suit to prevent or stop it.
- SCP-020's implementation is confirmed to be planned in Project Resurrection.
