About the Game

Cowboy Tony, a simple guy with a hard fate, faces an unexpected misfortune: his sister has been cursed by a powerful magician. To save her, Tony is forced to embark on a dangerous journey full of mystical secrets and deadly trials.

On the way to the ancient artifact capable of lifting this curse, he joins forces with the eccentric sorceress Mackenzie, whose motivations are not as simple as they seem.

Together they must uncover the secrets of ancient civilizations, outwit the Inquisition, celebrate Santa Muerte, and face nature spirits who aren't always friendly.

Immerse yourself in a unique setting where dusty Wild West towns intertwine with the ancient mysteries of Mesoamerican magic. Boundless deserts, canyons and ancient artifacts hide incredible power, while cowboys, bandits and mages battle for power in this extraordinary world.

The game's story offers 12 unique endings, each depending on your decisions. Your actions affect not only the fate of the main characters, but also the world around you.

Non-linear dialogue allow you to build relationships with characters, choose sides in conflicts and uncover secrets that can change the course of the story. Complex moral dilemmas await you, where there are no unambiguously correct answers, and every choice has consequences.

At the center of the story are colorful characters, each with a unique story and personality. Tony, an oddball cowboy with a dark past, is willing to do anything to save his sister. Mackenzie, a spoiled but powerful sorceress whose motives hide many secrets. Each character plays a key role in your journey, and their quests and unique traits are revealed as the story progresses.
