A fantasy version of Wild West with overarching story spanning 5 different characters. A mafia of outlaws that has a siren as it's boss? People being turned into cannibalistic pigmen? The church finding a way to control werewolves? It has all of it and more.

When playing, the game very much reminded me of oldschool Fallout (1 and 2) with the way locations are explored. Locations are tiny, self-contained maps that you leave by reaching the edge, after which you're brought to the world map, where you select where to go.
However, instead of turn-based combat like in old Fallouts, the game has action combat. You hold right click to aim your currently held weapon (which can be melee, revolver, rifle, shotgun bow or throwable) and then hit left click to attack in a pointed direction in a twin-stick shooter control scheme (talking about keyboard+mouse controls, but game is designed for playing with controllers).
Music and sound design is stylized to awaken the Western feeling, but it also has a shade of the uncanny hidden behind it, intended to give the game more alien feeling. Even when people are talking, instead of normal voice sample you hear this muted, almost whisper-like sigh.
And most of all, the game's writing. It's absolutely great. The individual storylines might be short by themselves and all the small mysteries wrap up rather quickly, but the direction they were taking always kept me interested (even after travelling the same map for the 5th time) and some of the plot twists almost dropkicked me out of the chair.

As per usual though, there's some downsides to this game, and in this case it's glaring programming holes. The NPC's AI break very easily, leading to a lot of messy situations that aren't really game breaking (as there's always more than one way to reach a goal), but occasionally made things frustrating. For example at one point i had to reload the game twice in the row, because NPC either didn't see me grab an item, or while running towards me got stuck on my posse member in the doorway and didn't reach me, failing to trigger a story-related dialogue. Other times I saw my posse members kneel behind a rock trying to avoid enemy gunfire, except the enemy was standing one meter away from them and blasting them square in the face. Also every time I tried to be sneaky and knock out as many enemies as possible there were moments I saved to try an approach, got noticed, reloaded the game and enemies' AI seemingly picked up from complete 0 and they went completely different way than they originally were walking, completely throwing off the stealth plan, making the "all guns blazing" approach much easier to pull off in the long run. The worst example of this being when a villa got corrupted by Wendigo's spirit, turning everyone inside into monsters called Ravagers, but there were still normal people on the outside of the villa that wanted something from you. Because of that game seemingly considered the Ravagers as normal people too and so any time I did a stealth takedown on any one of them it was considered a crime, and so wrapping up the location and leaving immediately lowered my reputation from 20 to -100. Every now and then something breaks and takes you out of the moment or forces you to work around unexpected roadblock, unless you just keep reloading until it finally doesn't break (if that's possible).

Overall, while the programming is a bit prone to derping out, the game's writing and atmosphere still kept me hooked enough to keep going even through the most annoying parts.
