Available in extremely limited quantities, featuring a pristine, stunningly detailed art book
Boulder, Colo. (Nov. 10, 2023) – A sprawling, open world filled with mysteries, quests and puzzles. Dozens of unique characters with their own lives and backstories. Stick figures. Yes, all that and more is at your fingertips in the slapstick western RPG adventure West of Loathing, coming to Nintendo Switch in a new physical edition in Q1 2024 for $39.99 USD and $54.99 CAD (in Canada).
West of Loathing’s physical release will be available in extremely limited quantities from the Serenity Forge online store and Video Games Plus in Canada. Pre-order your copy while supplies last at https://store.serenityforge.com or https://videogamesplus.ca/products/west-of-loathing-switch
West of Loathing’s new physical release also features a gorgeous artbook showcasing the painstaking work that went into bringing these hyper-realistic stick-figure characters to life. True art in the most powerful sense.
West of Loathing is a slapstick adventure RPG set in the famously black-and-white western frontier. Traverse snake-infested gulches, punch skeletons wearing cowboy hats, grapple with demon cows and investigate a wide variety of disgusting spittoons. Your quest will take you to various locales filled with friends, foes, more demon cows and dangerous situations you’ll have to talk your way out of or use your weirdly powerful stick fists to handle. No matter the path you take, West of Loathing will send you on a journey you won’t soon forget. Who could forget a demon cow?
