Story
The game includes separate story campaigns for two characters: the "Black Side" campaign featuring Private Detective Sam Lenderman (Codename: Slenderman), and the "White Side" campaign featuring Strike One Agent Jeff "The Killer" Summers. The two characters' stories occur in parallel with one another, intersecting at various points before converging in a final "Red Side" campaign.

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future in the fictional city of Altambra. Following sightings of former SCP agent Byron Cortes (Codename: Mereana Mordegard Glesgorv), who was arrested for the murder of his wife three months prior before staging a jailbreak, the SCP’s Strike One Unit, Byron’s former team, is dispatched to Altambra to track him down and kill him, with agent Jeff Summers splitting off from the group to search on his own. Jeff remains unconvinced that his former mentor could have turned into a violent killer, despite Byron’s wife Ondine being found dead three months prior with wounds matching Byron’s Cybrid Arts, and is determined to bring him back alive. At the same time, Private Detective Sam Lenderman is also searching for Byron at the behest of Sally Cortes, his daughter, while a series of robot drones pursues him trying to kill him. Following an encounter with fellow bounty hunters the "Ticci" Tobi Rodgers and Clockwork, Sam is reminded of the incident in which his adoptive daughter, Stella, was killed by friendly fire during a rescue mission. It is while visiting her grave that Sam is first contacted by Sally, who reveals that Byron was the officer that shot Stella, after which he fell into self-destructive habits such as drugs and alcohol before ultimately disappearing, and that the SCP plans to kill Byron. Desperate, she asks for Sam to find him, which he begrudgingly accepts. Meanwhile, Jeff begins following a trail of cyborg corpses with wounds identical to those of Byron’s wife. Evidence suggest that Byron’s cyborg body is damaged, and Strike One determines he will head to Port Valenda to scavenge for parts.

Upon arriving in Port Valenda, Jeff runs into Sam, who fights him to try and draw Byron out. The plan works, with Byron briefly appearing before quickly leaving again, and Sam and Jeff give chase. The two track him to Hong Long, where they split up. Jeff runs into Byron, who is suffering varying degrees of memory loss. He attacks Jeff, not recognizing him, but fellow agent Jane Williams and team leader Nikolai Persson (Codename: Herobrine) arrive to help. After fighting Byron, Nikolai prepares to execute him, but Jeff intervenes, demanding a fair trial for Byron. While Nikolai and Jeff argue, Byron runs off, and Strike One begins tracking him. Later, Sam briefly teams up with Tobi as the two find and fight Byron, whose mental state is rapidly deteriorating due to the influence of his addictions. Sam nearly kills Byron in revenge, but is barely stopped by Tobi, at which point Byron escapes. The group follow him to Bari Shur, where they encounter Jane. Tobi and Clockwork distract her while Sam continues looking for Byron. At the same time, Jeff and Nikolai continue to argue over whether Byron should be returned dead or alive, culminating in a battle between the two. Byron defeats Nikolai, and he and a sympathetic Jane resume the search on their own. Sam finally catches up to Byron, who reveals that he was not actually the one who killed Stella, though he still expresses remorse. Sam defeats him in battle just as Jeff arrives.

Jeff continues to insist that Byron be taken home to get a fair trial, but Sam would rather see Byron dead. The two fight one another until Tobi, Clockwork and Jane stop them. Another squadron of drones appears, revealing Nikolai (in Polybius form) as the one behind them. Nikolai orders the drones to kill the other fighters and nearly executes Jeff before he is saved by Sam. The two team up to defeat Nikolai, with Sam delivering the final blow using his tendrils. The group take Byron home to Sally and prepare to have Nikolai put on trial for his abuse of power.
