6About West of Loathing
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)

Worth every hour
I left home with nothing but a needle and my granny's briefcase full o' snakes, hitched a ride to Boring Springs, killed two men and three snakes, learned to speak Goblin, and befriended a woman whose home was burned to the ground by a gang of cows. Then I bought a horse and left the tutorial area, and things got weird. I'm pretty on board with this one.

Play this blind
Play this blind. Do not read reviews. Do not watch LPs/Walkthroughs. Half of the fun of this game is finding everything on your own and seeing the shenanigans. Also shoutout to the devs who I met at Pax West 2017. Y'all were terrific to talk to in person about the game.

I use this game to help students reluctant to read engage in a bit more reading (I'm a teacher)
I use this game to help students reluctant to read engage in a bit more reading (I'm a teacher). It's a little too mature for the younger kids, but great fun for the older kids. Wonderful sense of humor displayed throughout, great art style, etc. etc.
