Description: SCP-4123 was given the game and accepted it immediately, upon game start D-4213 was anomalously displaced to an unknown location. Location was described as a game café, the subject reported multiple unknown humanoids alongside humans were present. Games beings played were unknown to the subject as well as many games advertised on the walls of the café. The subject was instructed by the note to take a seat at any computer when the subject sat a game automatically booted up. When the subject experienced trouble with the game nearby humanoids offered help but were unwilling to discuss any other subjects.
Gameplay: After subjects description of gameplay, it was confirmed to be a fully released version of SCP-1633. The largest differences however being the lack of health hazards to players and the game having a multiplayer option. After help from nearby humanoids D-4213 was able to beat several levels but stopped to try another game. D-4213 attempted to boot a game named "The Foundation 2: First Days" a warning was displayed on the screen to put on ██████ or that players must have level █ ███████. At this point, subject was advised by other humanoids to head back at which point subject stood and was immediately returned to SCP-4123.
Feedback: Incredibly helpful and fun
Masters Notes: Feedback noted
Update: D-Class was able to recreate full release version of SCP-1633 with staff help and current assets in the beta version. Update available for beta versions and testing is pending.

Subject: SCP-4123 classification
Body: I believe after multiple tests done with SCP-4123 we can be right to classify it as “Safe”. If we don’t give it anything it’s probably going to just stay waiting forever. I believe we should further test with SCP-4123 as the information it has provided has been incredibly valuable. We should further explore the possibilities SCP-4123 can provide as an information-gathering tool beyond the scope of just games.
That being said, I think we should keep it under wraps even on-site. We can’t have staff throwing things at SCP-4123 willy nilly, we still don’t know what it’s fully capable of. I also have concerns about SCP-4123’s possible memetic properties, I have 3 personnel with memetic training on my research team as part of that concern. Testing should never be approved without someone with memetic training present and any researcher to request so would be best denied. Of course, that will be up to you and whoever else comes up with the procedures for these things.
Me and my team have sent and are waiting for an approved list of items for testing. If testing is approved we don't want to waste any time.
Oh, one more thing. If I don't see you today, I just wanted to say.
Merry Christmas.

Input: Apple Approved
Instance location: Site ██
Player Count: 5 - Research Team
Description: Research team gave SCP-4123 one apple as previously tested. The SCP-4123-1 game manifested in the research room while out of view of the team. First record of SCP-4123-2 being discovered. The research team had a difficult time playing until they discovered SCP-4123-2 in their pockets. Upon reading the rules for the game the research team began attempting to play with apples provided by SCP-4123-1 manifestation. After twenty minutes of attempts Dr.C████ was able to successfully split the apple according to the rules of the game. Following this the rest of the team soon also learned to play. After the finalization of documents SCP-4123-3 research team had the ability to share and play this game with great mastery. This led to the discovery of SCP-4123's anomalous ability to transfer information to participants.
Gameplay: “Appleshöösh”, the game involves dropping apples vertically in a method that splits the apple into multiple slices. The score is determined by the number of slices the apple splits into.

Interview Log: ███ Recorded: ██/██/2014
Interviewed: Dr. Jake Godfrey
Interviewer: Dr. ”DM” David Matthews
Foreword: Increased sightings of SCP-303 had been occurring at Site ██ the week prior to this log. The topic of this logs is in response to the unusual amount and nature of the sightings following Dr. Godfrey encountering SCP-303. The encounter occurred at the door for SCP-4123’s chamber. Dr. “DM” was thought to be the best to investigate this occurrence.
<BEGIN LOG>
Dr. “DM”: Dr. Godfrey it’s good to see you, sadly I wish it was under better circumstances. How has research with SCP-████ been?
Dr. Godfrey: Oh fine, though, of course it’s been pretty tedious as you can imagine.
Dr. “DM”: Yes well working here isn’t easy. Which brings me to the question, what did you see today regarding SCP-303 and SCP-4123.
Dr. Godfrey: Well I’ll start at the beginning of today. I was just leaving the café after having some coffee, of course I heard about the increased SCP-303 sightings, working here you have to keep up with that sorta’ thing. I was heading to SCP-████’s chamber when I passed by the door to SCP-4123. I don’t know if I saw 303 right away or just by the corner of my eye but I did a double-take on the chamber door, then I realized the mistake I made.
Dr. “DM”: Were you under the effects of 303’s “fear”.
Dr. Godfrey: Big time, froze up, couldn’t do a thing. Everything was “normal” at least in that aspect.
Dr. “DM”: Yes, that’s why we are here, can you explain what happened following this initial encounter.
Dr. Godfrey: Yea, that was definitely one of the strangest godsends of my life. I thought I would die of fear, every second felt like an hour. About a minute in of this torture I noticed something strange with 303, it looked like it was struggling and that terrible wheeze turned into sandpaper hyperventilation.
Dr. “DM”: Did the effects of 303 stop at this point?
Dr. Godfrey: Sadly it did not. Another minute in and I had noticed 303 was moving, further from the door and toward 4123. Well, not moving, more like being dragged.
Dr. “DM”: What happened when it was within 4123’s reach? You stated to the security team earlier as being “hilarious".
Dr. Godfrey: I think I’d laugh if I could. When 303 got close 4123 just grabbed it. That’s when 303 really started to struggle, it went frantic, that sandpaper turned into a chainsaw. It reminded me of a cartoon, especially when those big white gloves were forcing 303 into 4123.
Dr. “DM”: 303 was forced into 4123? Are you sure?
Dr. Godfrey: Very. The struggle lasted only moments, 303 was crammed in there. Then that’s when shit, sorry, “stuff” got really weird.
Dr. “DM”: Elaborate.
Dr. Godfrey: Well I kinda blacked out for a moment, when I came to, I noticed I wasn’t exactly myself. Moving was hard, my breathing struggled, and worst of all I felt physically violated.
Dr. “DM”: Is this when you moved to the corner of 4123's chamber?
Dr. Godfrey: I didn’t do that, I saw myself do that. But I just watched, when I realized I wasn’t in my own body anymore I panicked, but quickly got over it. I was too preoccupied with my new form, I was able to move through the facility with ease once I got used to it. Even the locked up parts, don’t worry though I stayed away from those…mostly.
Dr. “DM”: You changed form? Do you recall what you looked like?
Dr. Godfrey: Ehh…I tried, it didn’t exactly work and felt like I shouldn’t push what was already such an intense experience.
Dr. “DM”: Did you encounter anyone while you where in this form?
Dr. Godfrey: A few researchers and security, they freaked when they saw me. Whatever I looked like must have been terrible….was……was I?
Dr. “DM”: 303? In a way, yes. You had the form and abilities of 303, however you weren’t exactly 303. Just the same way 303 wasn’t well…you.
Dr. Godfrey: So when I huddled in the corner, that was 303?
Dr. “DM”: Yes.
Dr. Godfrey: But why? What happened?
Dr. “DM”: Well my theory is 4123 used 303 as a means to create a game, I’m assuming you’ve already been briefed on 4123 yes?
Dr. Godfrey: A bit. So that was just part of some game?
Dr. “DM”: Pretty much, you won it seems…do you remember how the game ended?
Dr. Godfrey: I just remember walking past the café and then a loud commotion coming from inside. Then nothing….then [DATA REDACTED]
Dr. “DM”: I see…well I assume you don’t know much more than that. Your report doesn’t explain much more than what you just told me…unless there was anything else?
Dr. Godfrey: Well one thing does confuse me, why did 303 crawl into a corner?
Dr. “DM”: There are a few theories, one is that 303 being in a human form was under it’s own effects of fear. Another is that it simply couldn’t comprehend or was not comfortable in the human form. Security couldn’t get anything out of it other than attempts to wheeze with healthy lungs.
<End log.>
Closing statement: Dr.Godfrey has been placed under monitored medical leave for a 5 month period with concerns for his mental health.
Update:SCP-4123 has had containment procedures revised in accordance with the information hazard presented by new 4123-3 documents. SCP-303 encounters had returned to normalcy following this event.

Subject:SCP-4XX given a chessboard
Team Lead: Dr.”DM”
Test Subject: D-2911
<BEGIN LOG>
Dr.”DM”: Alright D-2911 if you would please give the chessboard to SCP-4123
D-2911: Uh…alright. This thing isn’t going to turn my insides to liquid or summon a demon right?
Dr.”DM”: Don’t worry, we have no evidence of SCP-4123 ever doing such a thing.
D-2911: Okay if you say so…not like I have a choice anyway.
D-2911 hands SCP-4123 the chessboard, SCP-4123 accepts it, closing and begins the game creation process
D-2911: So now wha-
Dr.”DM”: Just wait.
SCP-4123 reopens, however no major changes are noted. The case simply takes out the chessboard and starts to set it up to play by hand.
Dr.”DM”: You know how to play chess correct?
D-2911: Yea yea
D-2911 sits in front of SCP-4123 who is still setting up the game by hand.
D-2911: So you want me to just play with this…thing?
Dr.”DM”: If you would.
SCP-4123 finishes setting up the board and the game begins.
Dr.”DM”: Now please be sure to tell me if absolutely anything is out of the usual.
D-2911: Mhm
D-2911 focuses on the game and goes silent during play. Dr.”DM” makes sure to note D-2911 condition and how the game is playing out. However two minutes in he gives an expression of concern while watching the game
Dr.”DM”: Wait a minute, I know I've seen this somewhere befo-
SCP-4123 makes a move just as Dr.”DM” raises this concern and an immediate change to D-2911 is noticed.
Dr.”DM”: D-2911 is everything okay?…D-2911?
D-2911’s expression is blank and is looking straight ahead making very little movement
Dr.”DM”: D-2911 respond, are you okay?…Damnit get a medical team in here.
While the medical team is contacted D-2911 puts out both hands in the same position SCP-4123 does while idle
Dr.”DM”: Are you “back”? Hello?
D-2911: Gamemaster form switched. Warning! Form insufficient, please wait for technical support. 5 minutes until factory reset. Please contact administration if this is an error.
Dr.”DM”: What? What are yo-
D-2911: Error! Error! Form switching not approved while in use without administrator approval. Resetting…
Dr.”DM”: No wait!
D-2911 returns to normal
D-2911: Wha! What, what just happened. God my head hurts. Where am I?
Dr.”DM”: Do you remember being in another form?
D-2911: What? And what’s up with the chess and this case, was I drinking?
At this time the medical team entered the room and further questioning of D-2911 proved useless. D-2911’s body had trace evidence of an unknown Amnestic after blood tests were taken.

Subject: SCP-4123 reclassification
Body: I believe the classification of SCP-4123 as safe was a mistake on our part. After multiple tests we have reason to believe that SCP-4123 is able to and has been growing in a sense. We knew it would make better games but never had we guessed it would understand other anomaly’s let alone take or use them. Not only does it seem to have a preference or need of anomalous inputs but it also was able to find one.
The fact it was able to activate 3751 and then not long after creating a game that involved an anomalous property of 3751 is no coincidence. I also believe usage log 1 needs to be hidden, deep, at least to those not directly involved. We had no worries about it before but the more that is understood of SCP-4123 the more it worries me. I have a few theories why it says (d3!3█A **2js█ a ?8sds █8je217eh j &*@n!21██9s
