About This Demo

THIS IS THE FIRST ACT

Perdition Flats, Arizona Territory, 1889. You buried them all. You know every name, because you wrote them down. They are not staying buried.

Four nights of the campaign’s thirteen, on Boot Hill — the burying ground, and what is under it. It ends with the Hanging Judge, and it ends properly: this is a slice of the game, not a timed trial or a vertical demo built out of placeholders. Every mechanic below is the finished one.

SIX CHAMBERS, AND THEY FIRE IN ORDER

Every level you engrave one chamber. Chamber three bursts, chamber five ricochets, chamber one drinks the blood back. The order never changes, so the cylinder becomes a sequence you read as it turns — and the reload is where you live or die.

MARKS THAT TOUCH PAY LIKE A HAND

Put the same mark on neighbouring chambers and they pay out like a poker hand — a pair, three of a kind, a flush across all six. The cylinder wraps, so chamber six touches chamber one. The bench draws a bracket under exactly the chambers making each hand, so you can see what you are holding and what you would be holding before you spend the level.

CLOSE IT WITH A FLICK

The cylinder turns as a ring around you, in the middle of the picture where your eyes already are. A bright notch comes round once. Snap it shut with a flick of the mouse, a click, or the spacebar — hit the notch and it closes early, miss it and you are standing in the open with an empty gun.

WHAT THE DEMO INCLUDES

Four authored nights with their scenes, briefings and objectives. The full engraving bench — every mark, fusion, gunsmith upgrade and charm that appears in the first act. The peddler’s wagon: supplies, and four hands for hire who fight and die beside you. Cursed pacts, the silver economy, and the whole difficulty ladder. And the Hanging Judge.

WHAT THE FULL GAME ADDS

Nine more nights across two more acts, four more grounds — a main street, a railyard, a salt flat with a crosswind, and a mine where the muzzle flash is your lamp — five more named bosses, six playable characters, and three survivor modes underneath the story, including a daily grave on a seed everyone shares.

You buried them once. Do the job properly this time.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some of the source illustrations behind this game's Steam capsule artwork and store page background were created with generative AI, then cropped, typeset and finished by the developer. Everything inside the game itself is drawn procedurally in code by the developer, and the game does not generate any content with AI while you play.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

A top-down Western horde shooter in which the player fights reanimated dead with firearms. Combat is constant and depicts realistic dark red blood, corpses and dismemberment. Blood and gore intensity is adjustable in Options across four levels, including a clean setting with no blood at all. This demo covers the first act, whose story concerns a frontier town's hanging of eleven men, so graves, corpses and nooses appear, and laudanum is sold as a period healing item. There is no sexual content or nudity.
