🤠 Welcome to the Wildest West (with a Narrator Who Hates You and a Horse Who Judges You)

Howdy, folks.

So… I’m making a roguelike visual novel set in the Wild West, and it’s supposed to be ridiculous. Demolition enthusiasts, a horse lawyer, mafia boss and more. Add a grumpy narrator who barely tolerates your existence, and you’ve got the tone.

🎲 Wait, a Roguelike Visual Novel?

Yes, exactly.

You’ll play through randomized scenes, meet wacky characters, make weird choices, and every run is different. One run you might end up cursed by a desert spirit in a saloon bathroom. Another? You’re arguing with a cactus. Or marrying it. I’m still working on that logic tree.

There’s no serious romance, but there is a guy who’s in love with his own moustache. So.

🧩 Gameplay?

  • Visual novel choices

  • RNG-based story chunks

  • Get roasted by the narrator for your decisions (even the good ones)

🎨 Art Style?

Wild West meets anime meets chaos. Every character design leans into the absurd. Yes, the bank teller is a fishman. No, you can’t unsee it.

💬 Community?

I’ll be posting updates here as I build the world, write scenes, and throw logic out the window. Want to follow the madness more closely?

👉 Join our Discord
Chat, give feedback, or share which side character gave you emotional whiplash.

That’s it for now! I’ll be back soon with character reveals, screenshots, and maybe a playable build if the narrator doesn’t quit on me.

Yeehaw.
(He told me to stop saying that.)

Some of the art so far.


Currently writing the fourth and, possibly, last chapter. Still have some story kinks to iron out.

Where do I play or download the game?

Hey, thanks for reaching out! The game is still in development. It should be available on early access soon.
