West of Dead

West of Dead is a classic representative of twin-stick shooters with a distinctive top-down view. The game was created in the independent British studio Upstream Arcade, founded by two former employees of Lionhead Studios (Fable, Black & White II). The game is for one player only.

Plot

The action of the game takes place in the town of Purgatory in the state of Wyoming. The year is 1888 and the place where the main character, dead man William Mason, wakes up is a dark place, filled with death and sin. The game is not a classic Wild West - it is full of chaos and dead outlaws, humanoid wendigoes and witches, which must be eliminated.

William Mason, who looks like a comic book protagonist, wakes up as un undead, and all he has stuck in his head is the image of a man in black. So begins a journey full of corpses, which for him is like a nightmare. A nightmare filled with supernatural phenomena that become a reality straight from a dark, unique westerns.
