The Weird West subgenre, dating back to at least as early as the 1930s, is described as a genre that combines Western with another genre. Oftentimes horror, occult, fantasy or science fiction. Weird West, the game, very much takes place in this genre flavor. From the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey comes an immersive sim that gives you the freedom to be a hero, a scoundrel, or anything in between. Ancient powers are at war with one another, making traversing the lands that much more complicated.
