About This Game

A Tale of Redemption in the Wild Frontier

Blood and Dust follows the story of Henry Bridger, a former outlaw who narrowly escapes death after being betrayed by his own gang. Rescued by Clara, the daughter of the town doctor, Henry wakes up in the small frontier settlement of Goldfield, wounded, confused, and with no memory of his past.

As he slowly rebuilds his life, Henry must face the shadows of who he once was — choosing between the path of redemption or falling once again into the violence of the West. Along the way, his bond with Clara grows into a heartfelt romance, and his story transforms into one of forgiveness, purpose, and self-discovery.
