“Super fun stealth western horror with a lot of terrifying enemy designs. The story was pretty fun, and had some great voice actors. It had just the right amount of humor on top of the horror, gave me some good laughs.…”
“This game is kinda like a mix of Hunt:Showdown and STALKER. It is pretty challenging in the beginning. After understanding the gameplay mechanics and getting some level ups it gets a lot easier, though. Sneaking and…”

“Enjoyed the mix of stealth, FPS, horror and western. Unique and fun game. There's also some economy in there w/ the shops and loot drops. Could be expanded on but what's there is good.”

“really ♥♥♥♥♥♥' good. Immersive-sim lite, Rouge-lite, Western, Shooter would love some more quests and dialog 5/5 beta please :)”
“[h3]Story (1/5)[/h3] The story exists only to get you from one chapter to another. It is very bland and bad, since it has no direction at all. Just go from point A to B, collect the item, go back to point A, and get…”

“Solid imsim. Really dig the Western aesthetic, and the difficulty is tuned well, for the most part. My biggest issue is its Curse system that occurs on death, which is somewhat similar to Demon's Souls or Dark Souls II.…”
“Excellent game, a lot of fun. I'd say the only issue is the skill tree is not as impactful as i'd like. But that's about it. This game reminds me a lot of Deus Ex. Update: i'm in chapter 3 now. This is probably an all…”

“Amazing game with original "Thief" and "Blood" vibes. Excellent atmosphere, great sound design and music. Good difficulty. Graphics suit this game very well. Big areas to explore. At first - really challenging, later on you can become a very efficient killer, and it's fun.…”
— a player, Steam review · 54 hrs played“I have been playing this game since the start of the early access release, but somehow never got to review it. Now that a new roguelike mode is coming out because the devs refuse to stop being cool, guess it deserves the extra +.01 % in the positive rating. I'll make this one…”
— a player, Steam review · 37 hrs played“Extremely niche, and it seems that the audience this is tailored for adores it, so I'm glad for them. For me, this game is just way too punishing for little incentive. If you aren't inherently tempted to explore a barren wasteland for the hell of it, then the ludicrious early…”
