What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is very new and is very far from done. We are currently still working on not only polishing the game to it's final look, but also adding and removing lots of features. As SCP itself is a very community-driven theme, we have decided for early access so that players can give us ideas what else could be added to the game and influence the game's further development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to leave early access sometimes during 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan on releasing more missions and SCPs before the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“For all the features currently implemented in the game, please refer to the "About This" section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan on raising the price after the game leaves early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will be able to provide suggestions through our discord server, where we'll be often scrolling through and deciding on which features might suit the game. We also plan on making community-driven votes on the discord, where people will be able vote on which SCPs or missions they want in the game next.”

About This Game

In SCP: Retrieval, the year is 1983, and the Appalachian region is in chaos. After a series of coordinated attacks by the Serpent's Hand on key SCP Foundation sites, many dangerous anomalies have escaped containment, and are currently wreaking havoc in the surrounding areas. As a Mobile Task Force (MTF) unit, your mission is to locate, contain, and recover the escaped anomalies before they can cause any more destruction.

Up to five players can join forces, working as a team of MTF operators tasked with hunting down and neutralizing SCPs—some of the most dangerous paranormal creatures in existence. But beware: many of these anomalies are far more dangerous than expected, and one wrong move could be your last.

Key Features

  • Co-op Multiplayer: Play with up to 5 friends in peer-to-peer multiplayer. Operate as a specialized MTF squad, where teamwork and communication are the keys to survival.

  • Positional Voice Chat: Immerse yourself in the intense gameplay with positional voice chat. Communication becomes more challenging as distance from your teammates increases. Plan and coordinate your strategies carefully, but remember—anomalies can hear you too. The game also includes a push-to-talk feature for tactical communication.

  • MTF-Themed Tactical Gameplay: Use professional MTF equipment and techniques to locate, contain, and retrieve anomalies. The design encourages tactical thinking and coordinated action between players to survive and complete missions successfully.

Gameplay

  • Main Gameplay Loop
    You will spawn as a squad at the location of a dangerous anomaly. You will recieve a set of objectives that you have to complete to secure the area, while doing your best to avoid the anomaly, and after you successfully do so, you will be given means of containing the anomaly and fighting back.

  • MTF Tools & Equipment
    As part of the elite MTF, players have access to a range of tools designed to help track down and contain anomalies:

  • Bodycam System: At the spawn location of every map, players can access the MTF van, which contains a specialized monitoring system. The left screen displays bodycam feeds from squadmates, allowing you to track their positions in real time and see through their point of view.

  • Kant Counter: On the ground, MTF units can use the Kant Counter, an anomaly detection tool. This device emits an audible alarm that grows more intense as players approach an SCP, allowing for precise tracking in the field.

Inventory System
Your MTF squad is outfitted with a variety of gear to assist in containing SCPs:

  • Weapons: Equip firearms capable of neutralizing or killing mortal SCPs. Ammunition is limited, so strategic use is vital.

  • Flashbangs: Temporarily stun certain SCPs, giving your team a chance to escape or contain them.

  • Noisemaker: Attract SCPs to a specific location with a noisemaker, creating an opportunity to set up traps or evade detection.

  • Special Equipment: The Kant Counter, alongside other gear, is essential for successfully locating and engaging SCPs.

    More equipment is coming to the game in later stages of development!

SCPs to Contain

The game currently features 15 SCPs, each with their own terrifying abilities and containment challenges. Some of the most infamous include:

  • SCP-173: The deadly statue that moves only when not observed. Keep it in sight, or it will eliminate you in the blink of an eye.

  • SCP-096: A tall, pale humanoid. While normally docile, if you see its face, it will relentlessly hunt you down. Avoid direct visual contact at all costs.

  • SCP-939: A blind predator with very keen hearing and the ability to mimic human voices, making stealth essential. Move quietly, or risk being hunted down by the pack.

  • SCP-106: A relentless hunter that emerges from the ground to track and eliminate injured players.

Lots of other SCPs lurk in the game, waiting to be discovered by daring players. Each one brings its own unique challenge.

Maps

Currently, the game includes two unique maps designed for endless mode:

  • Hunting Camp: A dense, dark forest in the Appalachians, where danger lurks in the shadows. The night offers limited visibility, making it difficult to spot approaching SCPs.

  • Evacuated Metro Station: An underground metro station, abandoned and filled with SCP threats. The dimly lit environment makes every corner dangerous.

Join the mission and become part of the MTF squad responsible for the most dangerous retrieval operations in the Foundation’s history!
