Gods With Badges: Strange Scaffold Rescues Canceled Narrative Tactics Game

Watch

Strange Scaffold has officially announced Gods With Badges, a narrative tactics game for PC that was rescued from the digital scrapheap. It turns out one developer's canceled project is another studio's next release, assuming you have the willingness to sift through the wreckage.

According to Strange Scaffold, the team intervened to save and finish the game after its original developer canceled the project. The gameplay focuses on a disgraced police officer returning to the line of duty—a premise that mirrors the game's own sudden return to active service. The studio, known for its work on unique indie games, took over the project to ensure the narrative tactics title actually sees the light of day.

The details

  • Developer: Strange Scaffold (completing the project)
  • Platform: PC
  • Core gameplay: Disgraced officer narrative tactics

Currently, no release date, price, or additional platforms have been announced. In the meantime, both the disgraced officer and the audience will have to wait in the lobby.
