El Paso, TX – July 22, 2025 – Developers Strange Scaffold (I Am Your Beast, CLICKOLDING, El Paso, Elsewhere) and Pedalboard Games are thrilled to announce Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 1: Re-Raptored (CRDM1), a match-3 metroidvania and follow-up to Strange Scaffold’s Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3.
Henry Bayliss, a redneck scientist living deep in the Louisiana bayou, is up to something. Enter Jack Briar: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' best agent, and the natural choice for this kind of field work. But Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 was cancelled! What's Jack Briar even doing here?!
Join Jack Briar as he races to prevent the Bayliss disaster, explores a creepy mansion, and defeats anyone who gets in his way. Look out, dinos, 'cause you’re gonna get jurass-kic'd!

The commitment to the bit here is pretty strong, so let's pull back. CRDM1: Re-Raptored is a sequel to CRDM3, acting as a remake of the first game in the fictional series. Like CRDM3, it addresses the current state of the industry while also exploring the looming culture of remakes and reboots in gaming, as well as the personal ramifications and messy challenges that come with it.
Return to the creepy classic. Explore all-new rooms, dinos, and puzzles in the “original” match-3 survival horror comedy RPG metroidvania – fully re-raptored!

CRDM1 is the first Strange Scaffold “Project Share” release, and is developed and published by Pedalboard Games. Project Share is an initiative where Strange Scaffold shares game files (and occasionally IP) with trusted game developers and friends. This allows partnered developers to explore Strange Scaffold worlds, reshape mechanics, and add their own creative perspective to established technology, providing players with another way to get interesting and novel experiences quickly and sustainably.
“I had so much fun helping CRDM3 over the finish line due to the energy the team had, pouring their creative labor into a game ABOUT that labor,” Studio Head Colin McInerney said. “Then [Strange Scaffold studio head] Xalavier Nelson Jr. offered to let Pedalboard create a sequel with near-total creative freedom. We were floored, and we can't wait to get more CRDM into your hands!”
Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 1 launches September 23, 2025 on Steam for PC. For more information, follow Strange Scaffold on X and BlueSky.
