Gods With Badges

Gods With Badges is a narrative tactics game examining the social dynamics and pressures of law enforcement with nuance and moral ambiguity. You are Harrow McClellan, a disgraced police officer transferred back to your original post after the scandal that ejected you from your home becomes law enforcement legend. Every turn-based battle and dialogue choice is a decision to play into your reputation, or attempt to stand above it.

Patrol the streets of Scarhelm, a dystopian city of the future. Seize contraband from the streets, deliver tickets, and find evidence in dirty back alleys. Deal with civic and criminal complaints, making dialogue choices, arresting suspects, and executing them when you deem it necessary.

Then, enter isometric turn-based combat, where you'll take cover, rescue hostages, and decide how much force you'll utilize against suspects to keep you and your fellow officers alive. And, if you don't want the prying eyes of the public to see your actions, you can temporarily turn off your bodycam with an innovative system that unlocks dialogue and tactical options.

You, like your fellow officers, have power over life and death, and qualified legal immunity.
You are a god with a badge.
