What Is Running With Scissors and What Does Its Website Offer?

Updated

Running With Scissors (runningwithscissors.com) is the official website of the independent game studio behind the POSTAL series. The studio describes itself as developing and publishing "outrageous games just for the hell of it," and the site serves as the hub for POSTAL news, game updates, and official merchandise. If you're looking for studio announcements, POSTAL releases, or official merch, this is the primary source.

Who Runs the Site

Running With Scissors is an independent video game studio that both develops and publishes its own titles. The site is the studio's own storefront and news outlet rather than a third-party retailer or fan page. Its tagline — "It's always funny until someone gets hurt... and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical" — reflects the deliberately provocative tone the studio is known for.

What the POSTAL Connection Is

The site is built around the POSTAL franchise, which the studio has been developing for nearly 30 years. Content on the homepage covers:

  • Game announcements — for example, POSTAL 2 Redux, described as a community-funded modern rebuild arriving Spring 2027 for Steam and PlayStation 5, and Flesh & Wire, a new IP set in the POSTAL universe coming in 2027.
  • DLC and updates — such as the "POSTAL Brain Damaged: These Sunny Daze" DLC released for PlayStation and Switch.
  • Comic and merchandise launches — including the first POSTAL comic book series, produced with Roditeli Productions and launched via Kickstarter.

What You Can Buy on the Site

The site runs an official shop with physical goods. Prices listed on the homepage include:

Item Price
POSTAL Comic Art Print Action Comic #1 Homage $30.00
Talking El Perro Loco Doll $25.00
POSTAL Comic Ashcan Blind Bag $30.00
POSTAL Comic Ashcan Cover A $30.00
POSTAL Redux OST Double CD Digipack $25.00
Krotchy Youtooz 9in Plush $50.00
POSTAL 2 Christmas Ornament $12.00
POSTAL Comic Art Print Akira Homage $30.00

Some items are marked "Read more" rather than "Add to cart," which typically means they are not currently purchasable — check the individual product page before assuming availability.

How to Follow Studio News

The site publishes news posts with dates and links to external platforms (YouTube for trailers, Kickstarter for crowdfunding campaigns, Steam and PlayStation for game releases). It also offers a Subscribe option, which routes to a mailing-list signup, so you can get studio updates directly. Note that the site does not state that subscribing or browsing is free of cost beyond the listed product prices — treat the subscription as a newsletter signup, not a paid membership, unless a page says otherwise.

When This Site Is Useful to You

  • You want official POSTAL release dates, DLC news, or studio announcements.
  • You want to buy official POSTAL merchandise directly from the studio.
  • You're tracking crowdfunding campaigns (Kickstarter) or pre-order windows, such as the summer POSTAL Dude pre-order noted as available only until July 19th at 12pm PT.

If you're looking for community mods, fan forums, or third-party game keys, this site is not that — it's the studio's own channel.
