SCP: 5K
SCP: 5K is an upcoming multiplayer tactical shooter title set within the SCP mythos. Succeeding the events of Tanhony's SCP-5000 — Why?, SCP: 5K follows the Anti-Foundation Alliance's attempts to impede the OMNICIDE: the SCP Foundation's plot to annihilate the human race as quickly as possible, by any means necessary.
What it feels like
An active present threat from the Foundation's OMNICIDE and rogue SCPs creates a menacing atmosphere where harm is imminent. The OMNICIDE plot and the Foundation's ruthless inhumanity create a harsh, unflinching darkness without relief.
What it's about
The SCP Foundation's hidden plot to annihilate humanity (OMNICIDE) and players uncovering this conspiracy drives the narrative. Described as 'tactical horror FPS' where frightening SCP entities and their containment violations create dread throughout the experience. Players must uncover what the SCP Foundation is doing and why they turned on humanity, revealing hidden truths.
How it plays
Tactical horror FPS core where aiming and firing firearms with tactical feedback is central to moment-to-moment play. Multiplayer tactical shooter design demands positioning, range awareness, and coordinated grid-like tactical decision-making in firefights. Gun customization is a featured mechanic, allowing players to tailor weapons and loadouts for missions.
How it looks and sounds
FPS (first-person shooter) explicitly states the world is seen directly through the player character's eyes. A military conspiracy setting with realistic gun customization and combat implies worn, detailed grimy aesthetics.
How it's structured
Marketed as co-op or singleplayer campaign following the Anti-Foundation Alliance's journey through a conspiracy narrative. Online PvP modes are available alongside co-op, establishing competitive player-versus-player as a core play structure. Online co-op is a featured mode, enabling players to cooperate over the internet toward shared mission objectives.
