About El Hijo - A Wild West Tale:
"El Hijo - A Wild West Tale" is a non-violent game and an exciting story of a desperate child looking for his mother. The boy sneaks past different sorts of suspicious outlaws in a series of diverse western settings.
Instead of violence, this child's imaginative playfulness comes to life with the help of his toys, which serve to distract his "opponents".
Using the shadows to his advantage is a core element of the game, as the young hero will often have to hide. Various twists on familiar mechanics are often a product of the challenging and increasingly dangerous environments that the 6-year-old must traverse to reach his ultimate goal.
