Item #: SCP-8159
Object Class: Keter
---
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8159 is to be housed in a secure, lead-lined containment chamber at Site-[REDACTED]. The containment room must be monitored via cameras with no audio feed, as auditory exposure to SCP-8159 during operation has been deemed unnecessary for research. SCP-8159 must remain disconnected from all power sources unless under direct testing conditions authorized by Level 4 personnel. The power center connected to SCP-8159 may remain plugged in, but all individual switches (master, computer, monitor, and speaker) must remain in the "off" position when SCP-8159 is not in use. Any personnel attempting to interact with SCP-8159 without clearance are to be terminated immediately.
In the event SCP-8159 is required to be powered on, the boot process detailed below must be strictly followed. Testing must only be conducted using D-Class personnel. Any deviations from procedure or unauthorized attempts to engage SCP-8159 will result in immediate lockdown of the containment area.

Description:
SCP-8159 is a Dell OptiPlex 390 desktop computer connected to an NEC LCD monitor, circa early 2000s. The system includes a worn keyboard and speakers, all of which display no outward physical anomalies. However, upon activation, SCP-8159 exhibits a series of highly anomalous behaviors.
When powered on, SCP-8159 boots into Microsoft Windows 10 before automatically launching a heavily modified version of SCP Containment Breach Ultimate Edition. This game cannot be closed, minimized, or terminated through conventional means. Attempts to do so simply fail without explanation.
Users who remain on the game's main menu experience no adverse effects. However, starting the game triggers SCP-8159's anomalous properties. Events that occur in-game manifest identical consequences in the physical world, regardless of plausibility. Notably, this includes fatal injuries inflicted on the player character. Testing has confirmed that these outcomes are directly tied to SCP-8159's operation and are not the result of breaches by other SCP entities.

Boot Procedure:
In the event SCP-8159 is required to be powered on, personnel must adhere to the following steps:
1. Preparation:
Testing must occur in a secure, monitored environment with emergency response personnel on standby. No fewer than two Level 4 personnel must be present during the process.
2. Power Activation:
Sequentially activate the following components via the power center:
- Master switch
- Computer switch
- Monitor switch
- Speaker switch
3. System Boot:
SCP-8159 will execute a standard boot sequence into Microsoft Windows 10. Once the desktop environment loads, the game will launch automatically.
Any attempts to close or terminate the application, including through the Task Manager or system commands, will fail.
4. Operational Instructions:
- Users may remain on the game’s main menu indefinitely without initiating hazardous effects.
- Starting the game activates SCP-8159's anomalous properties, resulting in real-world manifestations of in-game events.
- Leaving the desk during gameplay triggers a compulsion to return, akin to the effects of [[[SCP-012 |SCP-012]]].

Behavioral Effects:
If the subject begins gameplay and attempts to leave SCP-8159's vicinity, they experience a powerful compulsion to return to the computer. Initial symptoms include unease, guilt, and auditory hallucinations, such as faint whispers urging the subject to "finish the game" or distorted menu music emanating from no discernible source.
After five minutes, the subject begins experiencing vivid hallucinations of being pursued by computer-related entities, such as:
- Animatronic toys (e.g., Furbies).
- Retro robots emitting mechanical noises.
- Anthropomorphized, glitching computer components.
Subjects universally describe these entities as relentless and threatening, emitting distorted speech instructing them to “return to the desk” or “finish the game.” These hallucinations intensify until the subject resumes gameplay. Once the subject returns to the computer, the hallucinations cease immediately.

Incident Report SCP-8159-Alpha:
SCP-8159 was recovered from the office of Researcher [REDACTED] at Site-[REDACTED]. The researcher was found deceased at their desk, with visible trauma consistent with a fatal cervical fracture, as if inflicted by [[[SCP-173 |SCP-173]]]. However, containment records confirm [[[SCP-173 |SCP-173]]] had not breached during this time, however [[[SCP-079 |SCP-079]]] had.
The NEC LCD monitor displayed the following message:
"You Died. Subject D-9341 assumed to be attacked by [[[SCP-173 |SCP-173]]]. Cause of death: Fatal Cervical Fracture."
This incident confirmed SCP-8159's ability to replicate lethal effects tied to in-game events, independent of actual breaches or physical entities.
Addendum 8159-B:
During controlled testing, D-Class personnel described intense paranoia after attempting to flee the containment room. One subject, D-451, reported hallucinating a Furby-like entity crawling toward them, its eyes glowing with static and repeating the phrase, "Finish the game." The subject returned to SCP-8159 in an agitated state and resumed gameplay, at which point the hallucination ceased.

Notes:
SCP-8159 poses a significant risk to personnel and the integrity of Site-[REDACTED] due to its anomalous effects and psychological influence. Further testing has been suspended indefinitely to prevent additional casualties.
It is believed that SCP-8159 was caused by a containment breach where [[[SCP-079 |SCP-079]]] took over the network, but this has not ben confirmed.
