The Real Texas

The Real Texas is an action adventure game starring Sam, an ordinary Texas rancher on holiday in England. After stepping through a blue portal, he finds himself in a purgatory dimension called Strange, where a friendly witch gives guns to visitors, a crazed German-speaking wizard hurls elecbolts from his castle, and something involving a lot of chickens is happening upriver. Sam is a Real Cowboy back home, though it is unclear whether that job title will help him here.

Explore Strange

You can enter people's houses and rummage through them while they go about their daily business, without fear of retribution. You can also help people with their problems, often by shooting your gun many times. The game includes optional areas, secrets and strange things to uncover; some have remained undiscovered, to the developer's knowledge, for four years.

Weapons and equipment

You fight with six types of classic cowboy and fantasy weapons. Special items and powerups are available, as are two types of chicken cutlets to collect. You can also wear a bullet-proof vest beneath a sequined evening-gown.

Main game and sequel

Completing The Real Texas takes about 10 hours, depending on what you choose to do. Cellpop Goes Out At Night, a mini-sequel, takes about 1–2 hours; both games contain secrets and other discoveries. The games include enemies, traps, boss battles and the estate tax.
