Gods With Badges Makes the Bodycam Switch a Moral Choice

Strange Scaffold, the studio behind I Am Your Beast and El Paso, Elsewhere, has announced Gods With Badges, a narrative tactics game built around the authority police carry over who lives and who dies.

The hook is a pointed one. The player decides when to switch off their bodycam. A device usually sold as a check on police conduct becomes a moral decision with consequences for the story and the people caught up in it.

The studio's earlier work leans heavily on narrative and character, so a tactics game from the same team suggests the choices will carry as much weight as the combat or positioning. The announcement is brief, so the details that matter most, including release timing, platforms, and how the tactical systems work, were not part of the material available here. Those answers should come from the studio's official channels once they are published.
