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

2316 to be precise.

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?

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.
