This Ain’t Your Granddad’s Western

The Foglands is an upcoming atmospheric roguelike that puts you at the reins of a tall tale. In a mysterious world covered with thick Fog, humans have been driven into sparsely-populated strongholds to survive. Runners are the brave few who step outside the Hold to scavenge for materials and resources… that is, if they make it back. You play as Jim Womack, a fresh recruit for the Runners who makes a deal with a mysterious Stranger when a great and terrible creature awakens in the Fog. But we at Well Told Entertainment also went on a journey while making this game: we set out to make a Western, but throughout our research and collaboration, we found The Foglands to be much more at home in the subgenre of the anti-Western. But don’t let the name fool you: the “anti-”doesn’t mean it’s the polar opposite — it’s still very much a Western! However, since the anti-Western is a response: let’s take a look at how the Western came to be… and all the baggage that comes with it. <a href="https://medium.com/well-told-entertainment/this-aint-your-granddad-s-western-ec68ac70dd5a">Read More</a>
