Keter: SCP Roguelike

This document deals with broad considerations and high-level concepts.

Content

Setting

Concepts and definitive content will be… borrowed from the SCP shared ‘verse, but details (SCP objects, their properties, characters and the like) will be homebrewn, except for iconic characters(Dr. Clef, Dr. Kondraki, agent Strelnikov, etc) and SCPs (682, 173, 500…), that should be transferred faithfully to the source.

Game world will be generated randomly for each playthrough.

Presentation

Primary implementation is ASCII pseudographics. Tile graphics are optional and low-priority.

Game modes

Containment breach

Action occurs in a randomly-generated multi-level Foundation Area that is occupied by an out-of-control SCP. The goal of a player will be to:

• Delve into SCP-ridden depths; then
• Find a nuclear device arming key and “reestablish containment”; OR
• Reestablish containment the old-fashioned way, by duking it out with The Keter motherf█████ that started this mess; AND, OPTIONALLY
• Survive.

Missions mode

A player character performs missions assigned by her supervisors, rises in rank, power, equipment access and insanity. Some of the possible mission types are:

• Containment breach – identical to the eponymous game mode
• Area attack – attack on a FOB of a rival world conspiracy: blast through the defences, get to the control room and geek the local boss.
• Area defence – do not let rival world conspiracy agents to do the same on you
• Area exploration – explore the pocket dimension/internals of a giant SCP/the other side of a portal
• Object containment – secure and contain (or destroy) an actively opposing anomalous entity
• Raid – steal acquire an object of interest from a rival world conspiracy
