SCP: 5K

SCP: 5K is a tactical combat and investigation game set in the SCP Foundation universe. After the Foundation goes dark, disturbing intelligence from Area-12, an underground biological research and containment facility in West Virginia, reaches the Unusual Incidents Unit (UIU), an anomalous branch of the FBI. UIU operatives arrive at the site but are ambushed and trapped inside by a facility-wide lockdown, leaving you without backup.

Area-12 appears to have adopted a new agenda: creating weaponized hybrids of anomalous creatures. You investigate why and try to stop the hybrids before they are unleashed on civilians. Anomalies are reality-defying objects, artifacts and creatures that inhabit the cracks in the world. The Foundation was meant to contain them, but their anomalous nature makes them dangerous.

Area-12 contains reports of experiments combining anomalies into brutal hybrids bred for destruction. The listed anomalies and hybrids include:

• SCP-173-B // The Sculpture

Combat and investigation

Combat uses a grounded tactical approach with vaulting, corner peeking, door breaching and detailed weapon customization. You examine your surroundings for clues that help complete objectives, as well as resources and additional intelligence.

You can choose which documents and audio logs to collect and examine with your tablet, and what information you consider worth reporting by radio to your ToC. Audio features wall muffling based on occlusion and spatialized proximity voice chat.
