Why buy this?
There’s something about the Wild West that appeals to me. There’s a certain romance to the roughness and simplicity of it. The developer does a good job of capturing that feel here.

- Secret Stash abilities (Bandit, Packing Iron, Captured) etc
- Supplies: Canteen, Food, Fur Coat, Hammer, & Snake Oil
