The Real Texas

This is a humble yet [i]epic[/i] adventure in a realm of deep strangeness, a psychoactive Tir na Nog set up by the god of greed . . . which land is [i]also[/i] a weirdly wonky dreamscape shared quite naturally between Zelda and Ultima, with adits reaching into the underside of every point ‘n’ click there ever was. [i]This[/i] is the story of one desk-bound cowboy’s transdimensional catapulting into the pocket universe called Texas. You control the six-sided Swaggerer without a Name on his vacation to a castle in England -- where he discovers a portal to a separate reality populated by farmers, bankers, a catapult mechanic, an up-and-coming rapper, Charles Dickens the frozen chicken magnate, a sentient compost pile worshiped by a talking rat (I recognize those Far Side matron glasses, Mr. French!) . . . and a German alchemist whose failed escape attempts have caused, rather, various people from various times to be sucked into the same shifting pocket of unreality as himself.

If that's your kind of thing. We all have our own idea of what reality is, cowboy.

Remember to search under the bed, even if you need to type it in! Also it works great on the Deck

Great game, very different. Nothing else like it out there. Author has a lot of other great games that aren't on Steam, such as Paradise Perfect, a boat rescue game.
