Hello, inhabitants of the Wild West! 🤠

The development team has been preparing some brand-new dances for you:
⭐We've diversified Tony's stats, giving him the chance to develop not only as a Cynic or Eccentric
⭐We've revamped the point-and-click map, transforming it into a resource management puzzle
⭐We revisited the beloved outfit customization: now McKenzie is a real fashionista
Mechanics: Unlocking New Skills 📈
Previously, the main character had only two permanent traits — Cynic and Eccentric — which accumulated throughout the game. But now, in each act, you can unlock special skills depending on the story. For example, in the first act, in Moonfish, you can obtain the skill "Secret Listener." This means the protagonist masterfully blends into any town gossip and skillfully uses it to achieve his goals.
These stats can only be developed within a specific act, but their effects are saved and influence future dialogues and choices. You can track your progress in the diary, on Tony’s profile page.
What do you think, based on the icons, what kind of stats could be unlocked in the upcoming acts?👀
Map Mini-Game — A New Challenge 🗺️
Before, this was a simple point-and-click mechanic: just click on the location and that was it.
Now, it's a full-fledged challenge: reach your destination while wisely managing your energy. Resource management has never been more relevant in the Wild West, so we recommend stocking up on a dated daily planner and supplies — every step costs resources.
This mini-game will appear in every act and will eventually unlock access to new, colorful cutscenes.
New Skins for McKenzie ✨
Now the little witch has a chance to show off her new looks to Tony and earn a few compliments from the witty Hare. And if the librarian gets jealous, you can even dress her in McKenzie’s classic braids. Players can mix skins by customizing attributes separately.
A Cowboy Without Feedback Isn't a Real Cowboy 🐄
We continue to plow through both familiar and uncharted territories, actively working on the demo so that together we can pet cows and write notes for characters. In the meantime, practice being clever enough to outdo the Rabbit at wit and earn everyone’s recognition 💙
Tony and Maci really want to read your messages, so spoil them with a wishlist!
