Dev: Hidden Ghoul
Windows
In this western brawler you'll step into the boots of a drifter who wants nothing more than to play cards. After winning too much, the local Outlaws want you gone. No guns allowed inside, so you'll have to get creative: smash chairs, swing guitars, and toss bottles to fight off waves of Outlaws.
