Frequently Asked Questions

About the Game

What is BadLads? +
BadLads is a noir multiplayer roleplay game built from the ground up as an actual game, not a mod. You arrive as an immigrant in a city full of NPCs with lives of their own. Get a job, build connections, and decide how far you're willing to go. It is solo-developed by MarkJGx under Chemical Heads Studios.
What makes it different from GTA RP or Garry's Mod RP? +
Those are mods built on top of games designed for something else. BadLads was designed as a roleplay game from day one. Every system exists to serve the roleplay, not the other way around.
Will BadLads support solo play? +
The rework is focused on making BadLads fun by yourself and even more fun with friends.
What platforms did the original build support? +
The original 2020 Early Access build was released for Windows and Linux. Platforms for the rework have not been announced.

Current Status

Can I play or buy BadLads right now? +
