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(https://www.kingdomofloathing.com/) 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)
This popped up in my Steam recommendations recently, and since I used to play the browser game way back and I liked its humor I bought it on a hunch.
Played through it the past week, and it's a real gem. It's not too challenging, as a pasta-mancer I was able to clear even the biggest enemy packs during the endgame, but it's not really about the combat. The whole game just lives through its quirky humor, every flavor-text for items, each conversation, everything oozes the developers love for their game. It's funny without being silly, a nice, laid back take on an adventure game with some RPG elements.
Check it out if you want a few fun, relaxed evenings.
