MESSAGE FROM AFFRAY
Hey everyone, welcome back! It's been a while, but rest assured, we've been putting in some serious work into SCP: 5K. This latest update lays the groundwork for exciting narrative efforts that will soon find their way into the game — of which the narrative outline plans are now close to being relatively finalized behind the scenes. It's been a whirlwind period for us, juggling internal company restructuring on the Affray-end and the push for SCP.GAMES. There hasn't been a single slow day for our team!
But fear not, with this update, we're aiming to minimize the gaps between future updates. We've made significant progress on the groundwork, and the restructuring has given our overall efficiency a major boost. So, stay tuned and get ready to dive into the patch notes. We appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the update!
Expect a content patch in the coming weeks!
Ad astra,
Affray Interactive & SCP.GAMES
