Strange Scaffold has launched a number of new levels in the form of an epilogue onto their power fantasy FPS I Am Your Beast. This comes in the form of what they’re calling the Support Group Pack and, oh, I just got that reference.
There are nine new missions being stamped onto the back of the game. It’s an epilogue, but it’s not about Harding moving on and living a fulfilling civilian life full of brunches and pottery classes. Instead, it’s about the survivors of his rampage trading inflated stories about Harding’s exploits.
I think the press release sums it up better than I could, “With an unreliable narrator at the helm of the story, not all is what it seems. Players will experience gameplay effects enabled to this over-the-top framing, such as receiving extraordinary abilities (i.e. superhumanly punching someone’s head off) and undergoing extreme situations not seen in the base game.”
I love superhumanly punching someone’s head off. I Am Your Beast already allows you to pull off some pretty amazing feats of agility, and I think the only way to go from there is to make things even more ridiculous. I can dig it.
I reviewed I Am Your Beast not long ago. I noted that, while it does feature some significant weaknesses, it nails the core gameplay mechanics with such accuracy that it’s hard to imagine another game doing it better. Of course, constantly tempering my words with things like “significant weaknesses,” is probably why I rarely ever get quoted in accolade trailers. An inability to show enthusiasm is a genetic trait.
I Am Your Beast is available now for PC. The Support Group Pack expansion is also available right now.
