Standard Procedure

Infiltrate, Adapt, Survive: The Essence of Standard Procedure

In Standard Procedure, players are thrust into the gritty world of clandestine operations on the PC. As agents for an enigmatic government, you and your friends tackle a series of morally ambiguous missions. Every assignment presents its own challenges, from a precision heist in a foreign embassy to cleaning up a crime scene without leaving traces. Navigate a noir landscape filled with shadows, secrets, and the hard truths of your profession.

Varied Missions Keep Gameplay Fresh

Each job you undertake is uniquely crafted, ensuring that no two missions are the same. Whether you’re bugging a suspect’s home or stealing cursed artifacts, each objective requires keen planning and a flexible mindset. The variety in mission tone and approach means players must adapt their strategies, enhancing replayability and keeping your group on their toes. Prepare for surprises at every turn.

Navigate the Consequences of Debt

There’s a recurring theme of financial pressure in Standard Procedure: you work off your debt with every successful mission. Each job pays out, but missed payments come with heavy consequences. Clearing your financial obligations before time runs out adds an undercurrent of urgency to every operation. It’s not just about completing the mission; it’s about managing your earnings and staying afloat in a morally dubious world.

Communication is Key in Co-op Mode

Built for 1–4 player co-op, Standard Procedure emphasizes collaboration—your success hinges on effective communication. Utilize the proximity voice chat to coordinate with your team as you delve into dangerous environments. Engage in tactical discussions or perhaps take a risk and proceed without sharing every detail. How you choose to cooperate—or not—affects the mission's outcome, fostering a dynamic team experience.

Embrace the Quirky Noir Atmosphere

From crooked officials to dark alleyways, the game immerses players in a classic noir aesthetic with peculiar twists. The narrative unfolds through unexpected scenarios, where humor blends with tension. Players are encouraged to embrace the absurdity of their tasks, often finding themselves in bizarre situations that challenge their instincts as agents. This focus on character and setting sets Standard Procedure apart in the cooperative scene.

Tools of the Trade: Equipment and Consumables

Prepare for your missions with a diverse set of equipment and consumables that enhance your chances of success. From tactical gadgets to everyday items, these tools can be as crucial as your own skills. Decide what to pack wisely—your choice can influence not just the assignment’s outcome, but also your survival as you navigate through twisted plots and unpredictable environments.

The Waiting Game: Office Life Between Assignments

When you’re not out in the field, the office is your domain. Between missions, you can relax in the run-down setting, smoking cigarettes and sipping whiskey while waiting for your next briefing. The old-school pneumatic tube delivers your next dossier, keeping a palpable tension as you prepare your mind for the upcoming tasks. Engage with your colleagues in playful banter or simply bide your time until the call for action comes in.
