HandyGames has just released a teaser trailer of its upcoming stealth, exploration and strategy title, El Hijo A Wild West Tale. The game is a story of an adventurous child in search of his mother.
The game was previously awarded as the Best Indie Game back at Gamescom 2019. Following the achievement, the developers have been busy polishing the title, adding upgrades, and redesigning the core elements of the game.
Check out the teaser trailer below:
El Hijo A Wild West Tale is a non-violent stealth title that focuses on exploration and strategy. You get to immerse yourself in a world full of monks, bandits and other desperadoes to make your way through the deserts, monasteries, and boomtowns. In their latest development for the game, HandyGames has added 30 unique levels, several toys to distract and outsmart opponents, and a multitude of playfully tricky environmental puzzles.
The story of the game begins when a farmer and her son are attacked by bandits who raze their farm to the ground. The mother decides to leave “El Hijo” at a secluded monastery to protect him. However, “El Hijo” decides that the monastic life is not for him and decides to escape. Since the title is non-violent, it features mischievous, playfulness of a young child instead.
Shadowplay is at the core of the game and “El Hijo” will often have to hide. Without needlessly adding new mechanics, the gameplay is extended naturally, as variations of existing mechanics are gradually introduced and then combined to increase the challenge. These twists on familiar mechanics are often a product of the varied, increasingly dangerous environments that he must traverse to reach his ultimate goal: finding his mother.
