About the Game
Don’t Run With Scissors invites you into the mind of a curious kid left home alone with only one instruction: don’t do the things you know you shouldn’t. Naturally, this becomes your to-do list. With an oversized scissor controller that opens, closes, and twists in your hands, you race the clock to slice through everyday objects, rack up points, and leave a trail of destruction on your way up the leaderboard.
Created at Rochester Institute of Technology by students in New Media Design and New Media Interactive Development, the game mixes playful chaos with bold visuals and a hands-on controller that feels as fun as it looks. The team is aiming to showcase the project at alt.ctrl.GDC and bring it to Imagine RIT, sharing a fast, silly, and unforgettable take on what trouble looks like when no one is watching.
