An scp that captures the spirit of the original 1-2k's. Not that the more recent ones are bad, I just miss the simple ones like these that don't involve world ending horrors. Nice choice!
I like ones that feel like a episode of the original Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock, sorta like this one.
The recent ones are ALL BAD
Modern SCPs generally feel like Marvel movies - you need to have read several other SCPs based on "classic" SCPs to have enough of a knowledge base to kind of understand them without getting bored.
Not a bad thing but it's definitely off putting to new or returning readers.
@@lcmiracle what a terrible opinion
I like to think that this anomaly is completely non-malicious, that the man in the breakfast nook just wants to convince you to call his hotel a permanent home, and hasn't worked out why fake food, non-euclidean corridors and pools full of angry ghosts with a one-way entrapping surface are all disincentives to long-term residency.
These kinds of articles are my favorite types of SCPs: simple premise, haunting and off-kilter environments, not overly-verbose.
So, my new head canon is that this is the hotel that the song “Hotel California” was loosely based on. One of the Eagles’ members must’ve been a Foundation employee, writing the song about a log from a previous SCP employee who didn’t make it out 😂
I enjoy the fact that songs a good ghost story but actually about escaping working in California with multiple subtle details slipped in, like Steely Knives was their agent.
Such a lovely place
There's a lot of "predatory locations" in the SCP universe. This one feels almost somewhat innocent. It seems like an all-powerful being trying its best to put you at ease and make you feel at home. Also the fact that it only affects foundation staff is perculiar. It's almost like it senses that you know more about how things work than most people, and wants to relate to you because of that, but the simple fact of it knowing that you know more than the average joe makes you uneasy to begin with.
Also theres no explicit statement of it doing harm to people. And it's willing to let people go clearly. A strange SCP to be sure. I was thinking it was gonna be a "are we cool yet" SCP. I could imagine artist form "are we cool yet" checking into an obviously anomalous motel and just being completely chill about it.
Is it willing to let people to go? Every motel I've been in just let's me walk out the front door. This one implies that there is a strong compulsion to stay inside and the entity is not willing to take no for an answer without trying to guilt trip you about it first. Furthermore the extremely specific ritual-like steps needed kinda imply to me that the consequences of not following are bad, otherwise why not just only ask to leave and skip the other steps? Maybe it's not as outright violent as many other SCPs, but just it not killing you imo isn't proof that it isn't malicious. Perhaps it is not capable of violence if need be so it only wants those who lack the mental fortitude to say they want to leave? The fact that it is intelligent and knows of the foundation specifically also suggests to me that it'd know more about human culture than is required to see how hostile the place is.
no mention of harm? sure. but its implied by the things like the elevator creep. in fact for most things, what happens if you dont do something is left unsaid but the disclaimer before the addendum does sound like you're in mortal danger
Yeah. Seems to me that it’s terribly lonely more than anything.
My headcanon is that it’s some kind of empathetic shapeshifter that fell to this planet/dimension and “ate” an abandoned motel complete with “psychic imprints” of everyone who ever stayed there or worked there, and tries to recreate a smeared generalization of every motel the guests remembered.
But it isn’t the same kind of social critter we are, and has different ideas about what social interactions should be, hence the weird humanoid manifestations. For that matter, it may be a small group of strongly linked individuals filling different roles they believe to be essential components of “motel” including the generic creep, the gaslighting victim, the ragged generous empath, and the “please come again” guy.
Why does it only manifest for Foundation employees? A look through the psych screens used to select employees should explain that. There’s something common to the psych profiles of all employees which isn’t found in most civilians that makes them trigger the anomaly. Maybe it’s acceptance of the anomalous as not necessarily being dangerous or evil.
On the other hand, that quality may be more common, and there may be many civilians who have stayed and escaped, and who haven’t escaped…
the pool drowns people
When you mean predatory locations? Could you name a few
15:28 “Underneath the membrane you may see shapes moving around, but just ignore them.”
But what if I recognize one of them?
You, do not, recognize the bodys inside the water, oh wait ... wrong SCP👀
We've had a great year haven't we? Don't wait for the reunion. I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough. Lots of love. From all your best friends!
I wonder what would happen if you dropped a cannonball on one of ‘em.
Kind Entity: How can I make it better?
Fountain Agent: I want to leave.....
KE: Please tell me.
FA: I want to leave....
KE: *sad
KE: *never able to understand humanity and make the motel a beautiful and wholesome place because the Foundation refuses to tell it.
I'm glad Aamir got a proper hug. Sounds like he needed it.
this style of scp is kinda nostalgivlc for me. i remember having a phase of reading/listening to "ruleset horror" stories. compared to what i remember, at least this one has somewhat of an explanation as to why any of the weird stuff is happening
Agreed. I loved the rules creepy pasta/horror Reddit tts haha. This I would love to hear how someone survives as a “new hire” etc
I think it's an anomaly that used to affects all sorts of people, but the Foundation has found a way to contain it with these rules. My theory is that the hotel used to be pretty appealing, but their method of containing it tricks it into thinking that hotels are actually like that making it so that no sane person would actually want to stay there.
I like this idea
if they are already containing it whats the point of tricking it?
@@fatchicken6978 they contain it by tricking it. I just phrased it poorly
A quote of the article from one of the test researchers, Taya Andrews, elaborates this feeling further from the article read in Dr. Miller's lecture elaborates this feeling further:
"My parents and I used to take a lot of road trips when I was a kid, so we stayed in a lot of motels. You know the kind: shitty roadside lodging where the rooms are cramped and the prices are dirt-cheap. Years-old carpet, unfashionable furniture from the 70s, sinks that stick out into the room and hard mattresses. Not a resort, just a place to lay your head down for the night. Transitory spaces, where you're meant to come and go; not to stick around.
Motels are not home, obviously. They try their best to feel like they’re home. But not particularly well, which is why they have such a unique vibe of their own. A corporate-designed space calculated to put you at ease. They’re spaces for humans to inhabit, but there’s nothing really human about them. 7819 embodies that pretty well."
Gaming hypothesis
Crestfallen dad entity seems like the manager/aspect of the motel genuinely concerned with wanting to make the motel more inviting. Likely a ruse though cos it sounds like answering his questions is not worth it.
Well it's never explicitly said to deny his questions like you do the other ones. Nor do they say what happens if you actually give recommendations on how to improve the place. Perhaps the reason is that noone who has left has gone through the measure; maybe they just got convinced to stay. What im saying is that if the entity truly took a person's recommendations to heart, the motel would improve to a point at which the person no longer wants to leave.
I swear you and Volgun are always step in step I love it hearing you’re different takes on the same source
I was just about to say the same thing but NOT to do the same.
I love both creators, they have been a constant for me over the years.
But its kinda pointless when it's word for word.
*your
Could've sworn I heard this one before xD
I both the Volgun and TES are top tier SCP content
This cognitohazard is colloquially called Deja Vulgan
--Level 4 Access Required--
This SCP article is a better Backrooms Wiki article than any other article in the actual backrooms wiki.
@@joshwalton25wdym let the community run with the concept he didn't invent it
@@waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my mistake, I thought he was also the one who created the initial creepypasta post.
I still think Kane's story is loads better than 90% of the wiki content. There's some gems throughout, but imo things devolved into everyone trying to one up each other pretty quickly.
@@Arguswastakenit’s because of the liminal space horror element
@@joshwalton25 yeah, everyone has to have a scarier or worse thing, instead of making it interesting, turned it into a pissing contest
Likely because most of the writers are younger, vs SCP articles coming from everywhere, and about everything, not just horror
And it’s a lot more regulated, not just anything can be a 001 proposal for example
Thx for spoiling it....MFer.
This feels like an AI building a motel from memories and scenes from TV/films.
From the start of the video, I suspected it was effecting more than just Foundation emps, just that only the Foundation emps ever make it out alive, because of the document. Glad to see you came up with the same idea.
Manng really hit us with the “we live in a society”
Yes, I always jump over the lobby desk and bang on the door for my room key, politely of course.
I was looking for this comment
hotel california
When in doubt, trial and error. Definitely what the Foundation would do to know how to survive this SCP
Hahaha right. I was thinking all those poor D-classes
SCP Error
This should probably be easy for timeloopers.
How is your comment 18hr old on a 2hr old video? Anomalous poster? Sn checks out if so
There's a major flaw in the idea that it's trial and error, being that there's no way to gain information from the failures as the people can't report their findings back to the foundation, so the only way anyone returns those rules is pure luck of getting everything right first time.
My theory is that the people in the elevator were those who decided to stay volintarily for one reason or another. I feel so bad for the teen because you can absolutely imagine why he'd want to stay. now he lives a life of giving out hugs and trinkets. I hope hes happy. He deserves to be.
The article explicitly states SCP foundation thinks they are not people. Perhaps all of them are some sort of ghost of previous customers. Or maybe echos of fist three guests to stay.
You know when Explorer and Volgun run out the same SCP it must be a good one ☺️
love to imagine there's a veteran at this and speed runs it every time
There really needs to be an SCP tv show, where this episode can just be trial and error of going through this motel and finding the best way to get out of it
Just a AI motel generator, scouring the Foundation employees to improve it's self.
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, (any time of year)
You can find it here"
Good tune
Sounds like a combination of Liminal Spaces, SCP, and the Holders Series.
I think it is cleverly done, if a bit hamfisted from time to time.
Your reading of it, and further clarification was, of course, flawless.
Man when you mentioned the holders series it tickled a wrinkle deep in my brain and long story short you reintroduced me to one of my first forays into internet horror and horror in general. I remember reading those stories on the creepypasta wiki ~10 years ago
Mine was Russian Sleep Experiment then right to Holders... has it been 10 years already?
In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house in you can get yourself to
Its sound like walkthrough to one of Sierra quests. Where one mistake (or if you eat Delicious, mouthwatering custard pie) can lead to your doom later down the line.
Too many things aren't rules. Like "Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you targeting _us_ , specifically? While I really appreciate your attempt at hospitality, I certainly don't feel guilty for turning down the muddy soup and rotten food. And while I never wanted to be in this place to begin with, I had to memorize a list of rules in order to navigate this minefield of a 'paradise' you have set up, oddly enough, just for us. And while it's the thought that counts, I suppose, I really _must_ be leaving...Soo, checkout at 1130 ?"
Definitely looking to see that log 😁
💣
I like that the scary part is how they tell you ways to survive but not what exactly, very interesting.
As someone who travels a lot this one was fun to listen to, even with the horror elements
Always a wonderful 3am surprise to see a TES video on one of my articles. Thanks for the excellent narration, and I hope everyone enjoyed this little thing for Halloween!
Love your canon, especially the 001 articles
So. Does this place keat you/harm you etc, if you don't follow the rules?
It's like the hotel California I think. You can have as much continental breakfast as you want... but you can never leave... Yeah and exploratory log with someone that screws up has something crazy happened would have been cool. @johnfrancis3203
This is such a cool SCP bro. Good work!
This was such a fun, spooky article! very quick question - was the 'wall-street-anglerfish' a reference to the magnus archives?
Damn this was a good one, just wanted to fall asleep to some scp but I've just listened to the whole thing it was soo interesting.
I mean you absolutely need the guide to even get your key right not like its normal to hop over the counter and listen to a door for a room key
🎵You can check out any time you like… but you can Never Leave🎶
Basically a Hotel California with the opportunity to possibly leave. 😂
P O S S I B L Y
I’m glad I watched this today and not yesterday when I was checking into my hotel
An anomaly like this really should be somewhat replicated for an Alan Wake/Control universe game installment.
I wonder, what happens if it's a timelooper making a visitation to this place?
And in the meantime, how many of these anomalous denizens are actually mind-broken, body-modified prisoners/pawns for whatever's masterminding this mumbo-jumbo?
Addendum: So, is there a TES video on SCP-6819?
I mean the closest thing to this is the Oceanview motel in Control
Perfect understated integration of liminal (or in this case, transitory spaces) into an SCP. You're kept wondering, even after the end of reading, about the how, what, who, where, when, and why's. As stated, not clear answer about anything, but just enough to keep the reader hooked. The mystery, the intrigue is what makes, for example, the "liminal" phenomenon intriguing. Vague connections, memories, and feelings. Once you over-define something, it loses its intrigue, and goes from interesting to tawdry.
Out of any SCP video of yours I’ve seen, this one got me the most for some reason I can’t quite explain. The way the article says exact instructions without detailing too many reasons why and so many entirely unnatural things said in such a calm/calming voice really freaked me out.
For instance, “if it’s a clean shaven man in the elevator, don’t get in” got me just from how ominous it was. And “barricade the door to the joined room” without exposing specifically why.
SAAAAME
Thanks for making my 3:00 ams better
Hell yeah another SCP video!
*Also did the volgun and TES just post the same Scp within 10 days of each other?
*Also congrats on your 300th SCP video TES
This feels very much like a motel from Night Vale loved it
This is hilarious. Just taking the feeling of staying at a terrible Hotel/Motel exaggerated to an absurd degree
This creeps me out beyond every other SCP. I don’t know why but this one particular scares the shit out of me
Damn all im thinking is how many D-classes you had to go through to figure out how to leave...
Ah snap, not even an hour old. This is the earliest I've ever watched a video. Friggen sweet
Edit: this reminds me of the Holder series
There's so much room for experiments even without risking employees. Are d class affected? Can non-target preceive the inn? What if you do bring your gun? Can non-targets enter the inn? What if another car or helicopter tails you to the anomaly? What if the hotel is destroyed before the target completes the ritual? So many questions
Awesome article, awesome narration as always.
I love this kind of scp. It feels familiar which is scary! X
I missed simple SCPs such as this! Please more
I really enjoy this kind of scps. They are not world ending scenarios, or alternate timelines mumbo jumbo. They are just curious self contained stories
Love your videos! Especially love this SCP too - always enjoyed SCPs with convoluted rules
I very much enjoyed ASMRMatt's reading of the article, very excited to see your interpretation
Ah, we eat well today ya'll! Many thanks TES!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
17:23 that so she put her hand part made me wake up jarringly for no reason, i was trying to sleep
This is exactly the kind of SCP article I like to listen to.
This is weirdly one of my new favorite SCPS
This reads so much like an article of the Holder Series. Hits a nostalgia I didn't know I had
I loved this. I maybe in the minority but im not a fan of the more grandiose "SCP cinematic universe" type stories that span multiple episodes with main characters and such. This had the right music and the right weird and whacky setting that sparks curiosity and subtle alarm. Was there something under the bed???
Something I find suspicious is how the Foundation has rules for certain things, even though the only way it could know about those things is if someone left the motel afterwards, meaning they can't really know if breaking the rules results in capture or death. The one guy in the elevator, for example, that it tells you to avoid. It can't confirm that people never leave the motel after getting into the elevator with him, they only know that they don't have reports from people getting in the elevator with him. They don't know that something bad happens if you inspect the interiors of the fake cars, only that returning agents didn't. If they do lose an agent to the motel, they have no way of knowing what they did wrong, or even if the motel is what got them. The motel almost seems like something the Foundation itself is responsible for, like a secret test of their agents or something.
Damm, first a literal retelling by Volgun and now a narrated version by you? We are blessed
You have to imagine that this SCP file and several others are part of the standard orientation package for all new employees!
This would be really cool as a roleplaying game setting of sorts
I fully intend to use it in a future game session :3
I cannot express how bad it would be if the caretaker entity learned of what would make the stay better. You would likely never be able to leave.
Damn. This one must be popular. Volgan and now The Exploring series covered this one.
I LOVE this SCP, it actually gave me chills and still does sometimes. It's so unsettling but intriguing, no doubt I wouldn't last long cause I'd forget the steps and rules and I think that's why it scares me 😂
this would make an amazing horror game
I heard that name and dropped my ice cream scoop and immediately commented I’ve seen this somewhere else and I can’t put it to memory and I dead paused at 1:34. Man that’s trippy
Oooh rounderhouse is always good
One of my favorite of the new SCPs, I love travel themed ones. Reminds me of Alice isn’t dead
Lovely, was cleaning files and needed something to listen too
even though i just saw this one on Volgun, i really enjoyed yours as well. especially your take on it at the end
This reminds me of "The Holders" series. A bunch of detailed instructions into benign places holding some eldritch relic for the taking of those mad enough to try.
I know this is a longshot but SCP-783 is amazing for your style of videoand a personal favorite. Amazing horror story.
Literally watched the volgun version of this last week lol
Loved this one!
Love Rounderhouse so much
The ppl in the door behind the front desk having the time of their lives
Love these morning uploads, uts the perfect way to start the day. 👌🤠🍻

Love your content!
A source for new exploring videos could be from some podcasts that have the same feel of weird fiction like SCP and 40K. “The Magnus Archives” lore, exploring the entities of fear. “Welcome to Nightvale Lore” episodes.
I adore your episodes. Your voice and style are amazing.
this probably isn't an original observation, but this reminds me a lot of myhouse.wad. the esoteric means of traversing the various altered versions of a familiar place, the odd interactions with people that seem to have specific histories the traveler isn't privy to. Both stories have unmistakable horror, as well as bittersweet chunks. idk man.
This sort of reminds me of the OceanView Motel from the video game Control.
I'd love to hear the stories of the people who found out the rules the hard way.
*OH BOY! IT’S 3AM!!*
This feels like an expansion on "Hotel california" by the eagles
i love you the exploring series
This is the first time I've seen Exploring Series and Volgun covering the same topic so close to each other in time.
Running out of good ones
@@bizzzzzzle oh, I think there are a lot more good ones to come ^^
This is a great one.
I need to find a way to make this into a dungeon for my D&D campaign. Lol
This SCP is a nice reference to the Holder Series, top notch
Scp employee that just got out of work: "Goddammit not this again"
A NEW SCP VIDEOOOO IM SO HAPPY!
My idea is that there’s no need to go the pool and the foundation just wants to help people get their stuff back
I wonder if this only seems to appear to Foundation/Ex Foundation personnel because they are the only ones that have been able to survive it. A normal person certainly wouldn't make it out other than by pure dumb luck. Someone from the GOC would be dead in 10 seconds and even someone from the Hand would probably get killed. If a Hand member did make it out, their communication with other memebrs is so bad most other members would never get any kind of message. sm
I liked this one. It's like a walkthrough of some insane person's video game. I am really curious about what happens if the rules aren't followed, but enjoy leaving it up to the reader's or listener's imagination.
This makes it feel like more of like those ritual creepypastas that takes place in the SCP universe, kinda like SCP-5322 or the Midnight Game creepypasta
I wish I'd seen this here first. Still gonna watch it though. Mangg is my #1 SCP / Warhammer / miscellaneous lore guy.
if you didn't know he's got real world lore on all kinds of stuff like the Zodiac killer for instance.
Lately, watching him play Pathfinder has helped me understand the mechanics and get back into it as well. ( that would be his let's play channel though, usually Linked In the description) definitely more casual, for when I'm in the mood.
I wonder if this affects the SCP Foundation employee's lodging allowance. I can definitely see some foundation bean counter making a big deal about how you didn't actually pay to stay at 7819 so you aren't getting the $120 they normally give you to stay at a nonanomalous Holiday Inn.
Oh boy it's 3am!
Great scp to cover!
Only thing I don't like about it is the strong implication that the document is built from a process of iteration yet this would be impossible due to the nature of the game.
There's wierd notes like the backpacker appreciates you lying (tes abridged that out) and "we don't blame you for staying" at the end.
