From the creators of Burly Men at Sea, Wooden Nickel is a frontier adventure set in the great, remorseless Old West. As a stranger drifting through, you find yourself unexpectedly drawn into the curiosities of a small town newspaper.

Gameplay

In order to explore, you’ll navigate via a dynamically built daily newspaper. This means the newspaper you pick up on Day 2 reflects how you chose to play Day 1: who you met, what actions you took, and when you took them. Your Day 2 experience goes on to shape Day 3’s paper, and so on, in a growing spread of possibilities.

• Embrace curiosity. Step inside the articles and advertisements of a colorful Old West newspaper that responds to your part in its story.

• Make connections. Uncover an increasingly interconnected set of mysteries, absurdities, and unexpected friendships—or hostilities.

• Come back soon. Your train south arrives in one week, leaving you to wonder what untrod paths lie still behind in this land of dust and ambition.
