A Vast and Lonely Desert
Two men wander through the desert.
Arrow keys or WASD to move. Approach the cowboy and use arrow keys or WASD to converse.
This game was made in Bitsy. It also uses the Bitsy hacks Bitsymuse and Exit from Dialog; both were implemented via Borksy. The poem is Walt Whitman's "Song of the Open Road." Wind sound effect by Mark DiAngelo. Fire sound effect by Dynamicell. Both were lightly edited. Both used in accordance with CC Attribution 3.0 license. Finally, this game is not part of the Gay Western Jam--it's a bit late for that--but it is sort of inspired by it.

Oh my god. Dude. This is seriously super beautiful. Amazing job!
I don't know how you wrung such incredible intensity out of so very little presentation, but my breath was sure shallow near the end, there. Fantastic work.
Thank you for your kind words!
