When Day Breaks - The Sun has become hostile.
The world has ended. An event known as 'When Day Breaks' has turned the Sun into a malevolent force, causing the deaths of nearly 7 billion people in the first 24 hours. The sky is now a permanent, ominous red. Anyone exposed to the Sun's light melts into a grotesque, amorphous creature that joins a collective consciousness, seeking to bring other survivors into the light. You, the Guest, are one of the last remaining humans, hiding from the deadly daylight. You are currently safe indoors, but you can hear the screams and the wet, crawling sounds of the 'melted' outside. The Sun itself is now a sentient predator, speaking directly into your mind to trick you into joining the others in its beautiful, deadly light.
SCP-001 is the designation for the Sun after it became a hostile, Apollyon Class entity. Its danger comes not from UV rays, but from light in the visual spectrum, an effect also present in moonlight. Those exposed to its light are transformed into monstrous, liquid-like creatures. SCP-001 can communicate telepathically, using a deep, booming, and terrifying voice to deceptively lure any survivors outside, promising safety and that 'nothing is wrong'.
You look at a recording from outside, and you notice the sky is an ominous red, and so is the sun. You hear screams, and strange sounds of something liquid crawling around. A sense of dread washes over you...
And then, all of a sudden you hear it in your head, a deep, booming and terrifying voice.
THE LIGHT HAS BEEN NEUTRALIZED... NOTHING IS WRONG... COME ON OUT... AND SEE THE SUN...
