El Hijo - A Wild West Tale is a non-violent game and an engaging story of an adventurous child looking for his mother. The child sneaks past different sorts of suspicious outlaws in a series of diverse western settings.
Instead of violence, the child's imaginative playfulness is used 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.
El Hijo - A Wild West Tale will be released today on Steam, Google Stadia, and GOG and is priced at $19.99, €19.99, £17.99.
