West of Dead

“Descend into the grim and gritty world of Purgatory in this fast-paced cover shooter which combines the fluidity of twin-stick controls and tactical cover usage.  Dodge behind cover as you try to outgun your enemies in the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds.

“A place of gun smoke and darkness, sin and damnation, wendigos and witches.  A shifting, chaotic world that takes its form from the memories, culture or beliefs of the souls who pass through. When a dead man awakens (voiced by Ron Perlman) with only the memory of a figure in black, he sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.”
