This longish game is an old-school puzzler, like So Far or Not Just an Ordinary Ballerina. It's a well-done puzzler, as well.
This game is a Western, a rare setting in IF. It starts out in the modern day, but things soon change.
The writing is descriptive and based on real locations and people known by the author.
It's hard to say more about the game without giving it away. Suffice it to say, this game is a real treat for puzzle fans, but probably not going to please those interested in story alone, as the story is 'gated' behind a series of complicated introductory puzzles.
This is perhaps the best puzzler game I have played that was not nominated for any XYZZY awards and did not enter a comp.
