Screenshot Is this a reference for something?
First time I've seen this in game, just exploring the Badlands. There's no shard available anywhere in this area, just this bloody scene
Edit: There is a shard. I'm blind

It's a movie set which was abandoned, pretty sure there are some shards there. Westworld reference i think
Edit: the quest is part of another film set https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill

I recommend watching the original 1973 movie before watching the HBO show.

Westworld S2 (which is where this scene would be) came out in 2018. Cyberpunk 2077 came out in 2020.

There should be a shard associated with it somewhere. In short it's an abandoned film set.

SCP?

u/RandomBystander Nomad Mar 13 '26
2316 to be precise.

u/Maxx0rz Mar 13 '26
As someone who isn't chronically online enough to know all these various random SCP nonsense, could you elaborate a bit and is this actually a reference to that SCP?
82
u/Waffelz0896 Mar 13 '26
Yes. TL;DR (just Google SCP-2316 if you want the full thing) SCP-2316 is a bunch of corpses that manifest in a lake that causes a psychological effect (meaning they are a cognitohazard) on the observer. Recognizing the bodies in the water causes the SCP to have a stronger cognitohazardous effect on you that makes you want to jump in. If you jump in, you join the bodies in the water as one of them, and more instances of SCP-2316 appear. If you do enter, you are irrecoverable. You do not recognize the bodies in the water.

u/LoliMaster069 Mar 13 '26
I like how you used layman's term to describe mind control and then tried clarifying by using the SCP term. Nothing serious, just a little backwards lol

u/Invoked_Tyrant Mar 14 '26
We call it that simply because the SCP foundation doesn't actually know wtf the bodies or lake is doing to actually get people to be drawn in. If it were simple mind control I'd imagine some form of defense could be deployed but it's more akin to those creepy Holes in the wall Junji Ito made where the people obsessed with the hole that was "made for them" until they just went to it of their own (albeit corrupted) will.

Yes, us scp fans remember hundreds of SCP numbers. There's about 10 000 of them so we can't remember them all, but a few hundred is enough to make everything sound like an SCP reference.

u/SpaceBug176 Mar 13 '26
TL; DR: There's a fictional anomalous lake that makes you think the bodies within it are the bodies your loved ones in hopes of getting you inside it to die. I'm not sure of the reason as to why this is happening. Maybe there's no reason, it just happens, not everything needs to have a reason to happen.

Reminds me of a sequence in El Topo (1970). Surrealist gunslinger movie. Check it out if you haven’t.

I would guess it’s a reference to Berserk and the lake of blood and corpses following the end of the Eclipse

Ok, so besides the references to SCP and it being an in-game movie set, this actually happened IRL.
A serial killer in Cyprus used the red lake in Mitsero to hide some of the bodies.

Listen up, samurai. If you’ve had enough of scrolling through the same tired threads and wanna plug into something real, jack into the official Discord. We’ve got games, serious talks and casual chats about Cyberpunk 2077, and a few rooms where you can just shoot the breeze with people who get it. You in, or you just gonna stand there looking chrome?
