- Wild West by The BDB Project
Exactly what it says on the tin. A straightforward western adventure, with shimmering desert mirages and all.
It’s essentially a puzzleless trek through a typical wild west setting in a quintessential wild west story. There are plenty obstacles and encounters which serve as story beats, small episodes which might get a whole chapter if this were static fiction, but here it suffices to enter the one or two commands that the game (and the wild west setting) suggests to advance the plot. Anyone with some slight knowledge of western tropes will have no problem. (Except that first sequence in the desert: you’re at the end of the road and you need some tracking skills. X DESERT, X HOOF PRINTS. That one had me walking in cirkles for a while…)
I had tons of fun in this version of the Wild West. Great atmosphere, a small but twisting map, spot-on use of western tropes.
