Showdown at Willow Creek is an interactive western mystery novel where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--but powered by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Gamble, seduce, brawl, or shoot your way through Willow Creek, where gunslingers make the laws and everybody has secrets. Will you romance the gambler or the soiled dove (or both)? Will you side with the scientists bringing electricity to the Old West, or with a tribe of Native American Utes? Will you unravel the conspiracy that threatens to tear the town apart, or will you light the fuse to blow it all sky high?

The game

The game starts out with you creating the world of your character and you get a choice of a romantic interest. Except the game doesn’t tell you much about them besides their profession and gender despite the great emphasis the rest of the game puts on race. Your partners are not built for you to learn about in any way only to be fluff text if you do desire there is no depth to them you’re better off with just your horse and gun. The plan for the dam sounded so unrealistic that I had hoped it was true and the main plot of the story wasn’t oh hey I don’t understand science this looks evil. The ending only tells the reader that things will go back to the way they were before, how boring I wanted my actions to change something besides mason being in a court case. Honestly I’m a bit salty the game didn’t tell me what happened to Aaron, did the doctor on the train even save him? Also money doesn’t matter at all spend all you want you have no end to your coffers. This was not worth the price.

Simply Pleasurable

It was a shorter game, and maybe a bit simpler than say something like Zombie Exodus or Tin Star, but it was pleasing nonetheless. I enjoyed its simplicity and cute Western story. Not a very long play through, but I still liked it. I would recommend to those who especially enjoy Old Western themes.

Great Game

Wow, I love all of the games by these people. They're so great. I didn't buy the extra $1.99 for the whole version, but I've played a few other versions by them, and they're fun. My only request now is to make a universal game with every single one of the games they've made, all for once price. I would pay money for that.

Awesome

I haven't played yet, but I've played most of their other games and they never disappoint. Always a gurenteed at least an hour of an encapsulating story that's hard to back from

Felt Rushed

While I've never disliked a CoG story, this one seemed rushed, both to publish and to play. You can choose your race and job, but they make no difference since the story demands your character be a private eye. Similarly, I can't find a way to die or fail to solve the mystery, and the lack of risk is boring. This game seems like a "quick, write a western, but make it politically correct" type of effort, and it shows. At one point you play cards, have a saloon fight, break up a riot, and sleep with your sweetheart in about five pages of text. I'd wait on this one until it's cleaned up and expanded. If you love Westerns, wait for a new game.
