What I appreciate most about SCP: Overlord is that it really puts the emphasis on atmosphere and tension, from the operatives slowly winding their way through a fog-enshrouded forest, to encountering a site of the cult’s ceremonies, to getting their first glimpse of the cult’s normal-looking rural cabin headquarters… and the people floating high overhead.Ĭonsidering its minimal budget - the Kickstarter campaign raised a little over $23,000 - SCP: Overlord looks fantastic, with appropriately moody cinematography, solid production design, and some well-placed effects. Of course, the SCP is only called in when things get really bizarre, which means the SCP operatives soon find themselves facing unseen and malevolent forces. In SCP: Overlord, a Kickstarter-funded fan film written by Evan Muir and directed by Stephen Hancock, an elite SCP force investigates the compound of a cult suspected of criminal activities. All SCP stories are written in the style of scientific reports and internal documents, and some of them are quite chilling in their mundane language and clinical descriptions. Or… maybe the SCP Foundation is actually just an extremely popular and acclaimed online collaborative fiction project where people can submit stories of the bizarre and outlandish that make The X-Files pale in comparison. Its origins shrouded in mystery, its methods often venturing on brutal, extreme, and inhumane, the SCP Foundation is all that stands between humanity and oblivion. Which is where the SCP Foundation comes in. Standard government agencies simply don’t have the manpower, resources, or resolve to deal with these phenomena. Some even possess the power to bring about the end of the world as we know it. While some of these phenomena may be harmless and perhaps even whimsical, there are plenty that are far more ominous and dangerous. Strangely of all was the various humanoid figures floating high above the house.There exist, in this world, anomalies and phenomena that defy easy categorization, not to mention conventional attempts to capture, contain, and study them. The property was surrounded by the forest, it had a large pond, and a large red house presumably the headquarters of the cult. They'd made it to the commune, the headquarters of the cult they are investigating. The view once again shifted to a few minutes later where the group emerged from the treeline of their objective area. "Those weren't my fault! It was all a big misunderstanding!" Lilith defended. "If I remember correctly, there have been plenty of cults formed around or because of you." Dr. "Cults give me the creeps." Lilith says as she remembers some of her own past encounters with various different cults. You may scoff from the ivory towers built to honor your false gods, but when I walk across the transcendent planes, while you suffer in worldly damnation, you'll then know - who is truly saved." Light, darkness, up and down, all are irrelevant concepts to our overlord. You are being fooled, every day, your veil of ignorance is far less transparent than you'd ever known. "Your senses deceive, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once. As they passed through the field the voice of Ethan could be heard from a nearby intercom system. The fire is still burning so it was only recently lit. The clearing was full of scattered hay bales and in the center of it was what looked to be an occult religious symbol that had been lit ablaze. The group continued through the forest until coming across a large clearing. "It would seem we're expected." Lambert answers. "The fuck is this shit?" Cicero asked disturbed by the out of place posters. That's why those posters are made." Iris answers. "What do you think happened to them?" Forty asked. "If I see that while walking in a forest, I'd turn around and walk away." Iris says. "That's a lot more than what they told them in the debriefing." Cain adds. This was odd given that they were practically in the middle of nowhere. The montage ended when they came upon a group of trees with missing person posters stapled onto them. The group made their way carefully to their next objective as shown by a montage of them quickly moving through the forest on high alert the entire time. "An MTF division that specializes in underground exploration." Dr. "Who or what are the mole rats?" Iris asked. Come on, let's get back in formation." Lambert says. "Command's sending some Mole Rats over to have a look at it. "I think you talk too much." Reyes answers bluntly. "What about you, Reyes? What do you think?" "Here's hoping." Besson says before turning to an approaching soldier. Always do." Kolinski suggested with confidence. Any conclusion I would jump to - it would just be conjecture." Kolinski answered. "Well you're smart, right? What's your take on it?" Besson asked. "What, the hole? Nothing yet." Kolinski says.
