Trapped and backed into a corner, an exit or ladder will suddenly be revealed that was not apparent mere moments ago, placed by the storyteller’s unseen hand.

The skills to pay the bills.Essentially reliving the memories of these encounters as he narrates them, you are dropped into Silas’s shoes in a colourful, heavily stylised dust-bowl setting circa 1880. Artful stills of the saloon pan across as Silas spins another yarn about the time he saved the day and got away by the skin of his teeth. The story is told in retrospect, with Silas reminiscing of his encounters with (in)famous names like Billy The Kid, Black Bart and even Jesse James to a table of sozzled and credulous barflies. Or rather, he is if you can swallow his tall tales.
Will this new download-only title get them back in the saddle?Only tangentially related to previous entries in the series, Gunslinger tells the story of Silas Greaves, misreported outlaw and untold legend of the west.

Strap on yer holster and mosey on into town.
