Co-op Chronicles

🧪 Welcome to the Foundation…

This week on Co-op Chronicles, we dive headfirst into the strange, terrifying, and fascinating world of SCPs. From iconic anomalies like SCP-173 and SCP-096 to the lesser-known but deeply haunting SCP-3001 and SCP-3837, we’re exploring both the internet's most viral creatures and the hidden horrors lurking in the Foundation archives.

🎮 We’re also talking SCP games, community theories, and giving a huge shoutout to the talented filmmaker Evan Royalty, whose short films Overlord, Dollhouse, and First Contact bring the SCP universe to life with cinematic perfection.
