Experience all that the Wild West has to offer as you start to settle into your new place. Build a home, try your hand at fishing and hunting and start farming.  Work with the locals to develop your town and make friends with your fellow settlers. You can even go mining for gold or maybe find love with one of the 18 romanceable characters! But beware, things ain’t always warm and fuzzy. Be prepared to protect your new found home as you take on bandits, protect your crops from pests and guard your livestock from cattle rustlers. And a final word to the wise, a little digging might just uncover some dastardly plots taking shape in your community.
