Those El Paso, Elsewhere people.
In an industry full of layoffs it’s nice to have some good news for once. Strange Scaffold announced today that they have signed a five game deal with publisher Frosty Pop. You might be thinkin; “Strange Scaffold? Those people behind Max Payne-esque shooter El Paso, Elsewhere?” Yes, it was in the first sentence of this article.
“Being recognized as a talent who can secure this kind of support while the video game industry is on fire is an immense honor, and we don’t take it for granted,” says Strange Scaffold’s Xalavier Nelson Jr. “Going forward, Strange Scaffold isn’t seeking arbitrary growth, risking the lives of our collaborators and the quality of our projects in the balance. We’re doing more of what we do best — creating focused, weird, and wonderful games — with a partner that shares our production philosophy and belief in serving our players. It’s a reminder that, in an industry increasingly focused on live services or just shutting things down if they don’t immediately turn a mega-profit, there’s another way of doing things. New paths can and will deliver the experiences our players deserve to play, and we’re both grateful and excited to continue breaking that ground alongside Frosty Pop.”
The deal kicks off with the release of kidnapping simulator Life Eater, trailer below, and continues with revenge thriller I Am Your Best. Future games include an after-hours library horror game and a co-op kaiju horror cooking title.
Yeah I said that.
