Scapegoat
A downloadable game for Windows
Story
You are playing as a scapegoat: being interrogated for a crime you know you did not commit, but need to convince the police that you did. With a cash promise on the line, you need to navigate the interrogation of a crime you know nothing about.
Additional information
This game was created at the Global Game Jam 2026 in Sweden, Skövde. We had 48 hours in total and were an LFG group, meaning we met and decided to work as a team on-site. This is not a finished game, but a proof of concept of how a branching narrative could work in this type of interactive fiction.
