Red Dead Redemption 2 meets Among Us in new game West Hunt
Western fans rejoice, as Red Dead Redemption 2 meets Among Us in new game West Hunt, which pits a town sheriff against a wily outlaw in a life-or-death game of hide and seek. West Hunt, developed by NewGen and published by Wandering Wizard and Snail Games (best known for Ark: Survival Evolved), brings the cat and mouse hidden identity genre to the Old West.
Set in a small village full of everyday folks, this Western game assigns players as either a sheriff or an outlaw. Outlaws have a series of tasks they must complete within a certain amount of time in order to succeed, while the sheriffs' job is to correctly ascertain which of the townspeople are up to no good and put a bullet in the perpetrators. However, wrongfully shooting an innocent bystander will - of course - mean failure for the lawbringers and a victory for the ne'er-do-wells.
The outlaws will be assigned a random model from the pool of villagers, meaning that anyone you see could be your target. Outlaw tasks include all the classic Old West troublemaking activities - poisoning the water supply, stealing medicine, planting a bomb in the train station, and more.
