Running With Scissors

Running With Scissors, or RWS as they're known to their dedicated fanbase, isn't your typical game development house. They're the self-proclaimed purveyors of interactive mayhem, a title earned through years of pushing boundaries and gleefully offending delicate sensibilities. If you're into open world games with adult humor, look no further. Known primarily for the Postal franchise, a series that embraces politically incorrect humor and over-the-top violence, RWS has carved out a unique niche in the gaming landscape. They are masters of game development with adult themes.

Their flagship title, POSTAL 4: No Regerts, exemplifies their design philosophy: give the player unparalleled freedom (to a fault, some might argue) to interact with the game world in the most absurd and often shocking ways imaginable. This commitment to player agency, coupled with a healthy dose of self-aware satire, has garnered them both fervent fans and equally vocal critics. Make no mistake: these are the guys behind the violent video games that your mom warned you about.

Beyond the controversy, however, lies a small, independent studio fiercely protective of its vision. Running With Scissors operates on its own terms, prioritizing creative freedom above mainstream appeal. They are not afraid to take risks, to experiment with unconventional gameplay mechanics, and to directly engage with their community, fostering a unique and often irreverent relationship with their players. Love them or hate them, Running With Scissors is a force to be reckoned with in the indie game scene, a developer that refuses to compromise its identity in a world often obsessed with conformity. They continue to work on creating new releases, updates and features for their existing games. The studio is currently hiring new staff to work on new installments in the Postal franchise, so keep your eyes peeled for exciting news.
