About This Game

A GUNSLINGING MOTHER VS. THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Rose was an outlaw until she hung up her guns to raise her daughter, Rosebud. Now Envy has trapped Rosebud's soul inside a locket and offered Rose a deal: kill the six other Sins of the Underwest, and her daughter goes free.

Nobody said Envy keeps his word.

Rose and Locket is a hand-drawn twin-stick run-and-gun platformer set in a Wild West afterlife.

  • Snappy, satisfying gunplay on controller or mouse and keyboard

  • Seven Sins to hunt down, each with its own showdown

  • Striking comic-book art and a fully voice-acted cast

  • Music by Paweł Błaszczak, composer of Call of Juarez and Dying Light

  • A tight 3–5 hour campaign

    Updated since launch with level select, cloud saves and Steam Achievements.

THREE GUNS, SIX WAYS TO SHOOT

Aim anywhere as you run, jump and dash, and swap guns mid-fight. Gather Lost Ones, the wandering souls scattered through each realm, to charge your ability meter, then spend it on alt-fires.

  • Revolver: quick shots from the hip. Its alt-fire splits up to six glowing tendrils across nearby enemies, or focuses them all on one.

  • Rifle: pinpoint shots at range. Its alt-fire is a thick beam that tears through every enemy in its path.

  • Shotgun: brutal up close. Its alt-fire lobs a cluster of five grenades to spread over a crowd or stack on a single target.

Low on charge? Dynamite costs little and runs on its own cooldown.

THE DEAD FIGHT BACK

Every enemy in the Underwest needs a different answer.

  • Bonedito: an undead cowboy who bursts from the ground, fires, and sinks back out of sight. One shot kills him, if you're quick enough.

  • Spirit Slinger: a spectral sheriff who draws on you, becomes a fiery tornado that sweeps the level, then draws again.

  • Undead Samurai: a duelist whose blade blocks everything from the front. Bait his swing, slip behind him and win the duel.

SEVEN SINS. SEVEN REALMS.

From forgotten ghost towns to a samurai warlord's mirrored lake, every Sin rules a realm of its own and waits for you at the end of it.

  • Blast your way up Wrath's burning tower to a bullet-hell boss fight

  • Take down Sloth from the back of a bird as his sky kingdom crumbles around you

  • Get consumed by Gluttony, a giant carnivorous plant, and destroy it from the inside

  • Navigate Lust's maze of lies, gathering kind words to shatter her cruel ones

  • Outgun Pride in a mirror world that flips what you see

  • Chase Greed's flying train on horseback and gun down the railroad baron

  • Survive Envy's finale, a realm stitched together from every Sin you've beaten

AN OUTLAW'S PAST

Rose didn't just walk away from her old life. She ran from her posse to keep her unborn daughter safe. The deeper she goes into the Underwest, the more of that past rides out to meet her. Over 20 hidden lore cards tell each Sin's own story along the way.
