Did you manage to kill the Wendigo? Are you ready for a new challenge?

Today a new level was added to the beta!

Prepare yourself for a deep dive into the underground gold mines. A place where miners who became so enamoured with their find, lost their souls and their lives before they could find their way out.

In a place where the caves are dark and the water is putrid and each step is one corpse closer on the path to finding out who you are. There really is only one question: Are you ready to continue your adventure?

Find out and play the beta now!

The gates of purgatory have opened. Welcome to the wild twin-stick shooter mayhem of WEST OF DEAD on Xbox One and Steam. Enter an underworld of brimstone, gun smoke and darkness as you attempt to bring order to chaos. 

The West of Dead Open Beta will run until the 13th of April. (Please note: it is recommended by the devs that you play with a gamepad for this Beta-session.)

Feeling brave? Play it now (We have set up a direct page for the beta so you no longer have to sign up for it): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1270990/West_of_Dead_Beta/

Love is for the living and you are dead, my friend. But no one said dying would be easy! Welcome to Purgatory, the wild west inferno for the damned in West of Dead, the fast-paced 360 cover based twin-stick shooter is running a beta starting Valentine’s Day! Because nothing says ‘I love you’ like hot demonic lead!

West of Dead stars Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy) as the voice of main protagonist William Mason, a dead man awakened with only the memory of a figure in black, his existence setting into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.

Evolving the twin-tick shooter genre by introducing tactical cover usage, West of Dead throws you into the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds of Purgatory, where your skills will be put to the test as you shoot, dodge and slide your way through the fetid, hell-spawned filth of the underworld. Love ain’t always pretty. Or has a pulse.
