I'll be your beast later.

It’s late notice, but Strange Scaffold that they need more time to deliver their micro-sandbox FPS, I Am Your Beast. I♋t was originally slated for August 15, but has been pushed back to September 10.

It’s always a difficult decision to delay a game’s launch, but personally, I’m a bit relieved. There was no way I’d have time to play it for review this week. Next month? Poss൩i🐠bly!

In a Twitter post, Strange Scaffold said, “We want to make sure it’s as breathtaking as you expect and we know it can be, while letting our ꧅team hit that goal in a healthy and sustainable way.” Healthy and sustainable? In this economy?

Furthermore, the information I got from their PR is that this is to ensure the game i🦩s stable. It happens. Sometimes bug squashing and polish doesn’t go as smoothly as hoped.

I Am Your Beast is a fast-paced “covert revenge thriller FPS” that has you sprinting through hordes of enemie✤s, taking them out in fanciful𒊎 ways. It focuses on player fantasy, making you feel powerful and hyper-powerful.

There was a demo during Steam Next Fest this past June, but I was recovering from a nervous breakdown and wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule. I figured I’d circle around to it anyway, since I’ve been keeping an eye on Strange Scaffold for a while. El Paso, Elsewhere was one of my favorite games of last year. This year, I wasn’t as keen on Life Eater or Clickolding, but I appreciate their vision. Playing a game that tries something interesting but misses the mark is much more meaningful than playing one that competently does nothing special. Hopefully, I Am Your Beast is both interesting and hits the mark.

I Am Your Beast will now release on PC September 10, 2024.
