West of Loathing Game

About This Game

Say howdy to West of Loathing — a single-player slapstick comedy adventure role-playing game set in the wild west of the Kingdom of Loathing universe. Traverse snake-infested gulches, punch skeletons wearing cowboy hats, grapple with demon cows, and investigate a wide variety of disgusting spittoons.

Talk your way out of trouble as a silver-tongued Snake Oiler, plumb the refried mysteries of the cosmos as a wise and subtle Beanslinger, or let your fists do the talking as a fierce Cow Puncher. Explore a vast open world and encounter a colorful cast of characters, some of whom are good, many of whom are bad, and a few of whom are ugly.

Features:

• a sprawling open world, chock full of danger, quests, puzzles, and mysteries
• lush hand-drawn black and white graphics
• full stick-figure customization
• thousands of jokes, gags, and goofs
• crunchy turn-based combat (but only if you want it)
• liberal use of the Oxford comma
• over 50 hats
• disreputable saloons
• several gulches
• a drunk horse

NOTE: characters are not literally colorful (the game is in black and white)

Reviews

“West of Loathing’s goofy stick figures hide a genuinely deep and hilarious game; [The] humor is so warm and clever that it never gets old.”
9/10 – Polygon

“I found it damn near impossible to play this game without a stupid grin glued to my face at all times.”
9/10 – Destructoid

“West of Loathing is a wonderfully written RPG adventure, both fun and funny from its opening credits to whenever it is you decide you’ve probably read every last word in the game and realize, regretfully, that you’ve finished.”
88/100 – PC Gamer
