SCP: 5K is a co-op or singleplayer tactical horror FPS project that puts players in the midst of a conspiracy where the SCP Foundation has turned on humanity. Enjoy Early Access as we continue to work towards a completed full release of the project!
Players take control of UIU operatives and must navigate through dangerous SCP-controlled facilities. The gunplay features satisfying recoil, smooth animations, and a focus on weapon customization, emphasizing tactical teamwork as players coordinate their actions and provide cover for each other during intense firefights against both human and SCP enemies.
The game's environments, lighting, sound design, and the presence of various SCP anomalies create a pervasive sense of horror and dread. Encounters with iconic SCPs, such as SCP-173, require players to carefully monitor their surroundings and avoid blinking to survive, blending tactical combat with genuinely terrifying moments.
The game supports both singleplayer and multiplayer co-op, with reviewers highlighting the importance of teamwork and communication. The cooperative nature enhances the sense of tension and camaraderie, as players must rely on each other to navigate the dangerous facilities, gather intel, and confront the threats posed by the SCP Foundation's rogue agents and anomalies.
The current iteration allows for a degree of weapon customization, with players able to modify various attachments and accessories. Reviewers express excitement for the prospect of additional progression systems, such as skill trees or character development, that could further enhance the tactical depth and replayability of the gameplay.
The game's AI, particularly for enemy NPCs, is a work in progress, with some inconsistencies and predictable behaviors. However, reviewers highlight the inherent challenge posed by the SCP anomalies and the high-stakes nature of the gameplay. Encounters with certain SCPs, such as SCP-173 and the "Psi-Z Infectors," require careful planning and execution to overcome.
