Unravel the mysteries of the cursed wild-west town of Tombwater. Save what's left of the town without losing your mind amidst the madness.

Enter the haunted town of Tombwater, where shadows roam and whispers echo from deep within the abandoned silver mines. Once a thriving community, now a cursed shell of what was, its people have been haunted by the darkness below. Play as a lone gunslinger, drawn to the eerie, decaying streets by the disappearance of Sheriff Elliott Flintwood—your only friend in a town lost to madness. To uncover the truth, you must face the terrors lurking in the cursed depths and confront what festers in the heart of Tombwater.

Engage in relentless combat against nightmarish foes plagued by an Eldritch curse. Arm yourself with tools of survival: a blood-stained cavalry saber, a shotgun crackling with Eldritch fire, a miner’s pickaxe, and your trusty six-shooter. Gather forbidden spells, tinctures, and charms to fend off the insanity creeping around town.

Venture through the unsettling, labyrinth town, where every step pulls you deeper into a waking nightmare. Embrace Metroidvania-inspired exploration to uncover spectral canyons, haunted woodlands, corrupted forests, and mines tainted by dark rituals. Stray from the familiar path to find hidden enclaves harboring cryptic figures with sinister motives, or face more horrifying foes that guard treasures laced with curses.
