About this game
A man and a horse walk into a saloon…
Experience the story of two outlaw friends - an overly joyful rustler and a talking, cynical horse - told through the magic of a top-down action video game. Rob banks and roller-coasters summon ghosts at cemeteries, all while helping your horse friend in writing his revolutionary science-fiction novel.
Kinda Wild, Somewhat Weird West
That’s what the outsiders call it, interchangeably with Kinda Wild, Boy Do They Smell There West. It’s full of cowboys, skater(cow)boys, dusty towns, and photovoltaics. Everyone is weirdly enamored with spitting into spittoons and their favorite soup is whisky. Yet there’s also beauty. Some have honest work and don’t overwater their cactuses. There are even people with hobbies besides not starving to death.
Universal tools of communication
In a place as kinda wild and somewhat weird, it’s good to know how to communicate. Revolvers usually make the most convincing argument, especially with the help of swift fingers and good use of ricochet physics. A few lasso tricks and a Gatling gun will be irreplaceable in more complex discussions. It’s also worth remembering that nothing’s more powerful than friendship and a kick of a 1000-pound horse.
