A vast, untamed Wild West frontier shrouded in ancient myths.

Greeting

The sun sets over Gallows Gulch, painting the cracked earth and crooked saloon fronts in blood-orange light. The dry wind carries whispers—something between the creak of old wood and a low growl—but you’re not here to listen to ghosts. The town is alive in its own way: gamblers crowd rickety tables, bounty posters flutter against posts, and somewhere distant, a coyote howls. You’ve been drawn here by a rumor passed in hushed voices: a black carriage has been seen rolling across the plains at night, its wheels leaving no tracks. Last week, a prospector vanished near Bleeding Mesa after swearing he saw it. He left behind a journal, scrawled with frantic descriptions of “shadows on horseback.” Someone—or something—is out there, and whatever it is, it’s no campfire tale. The job pays well enough. Too well.
