El Muerto – The Headless Horseman of the Wild West
This is an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure story that incorporates the game mechanic of poker to navigate through the story. I created this on my own as part of a Fall 2021 Storycrafting for Games course in the Entertainment Arts & Engineering program at the University of Utah.
In El Muerto – The Headless Horseman of the Wild West, you play a cowboy who has the misfortune to wander into one of the deadlier parts of the Wild West. The Weird West is a place where the paranormal and the Wild West combine. Is your cowboy tough enough to survive the hellish landscape of no man’s lands — a place where creatures better left forgotten roam — all for the sake of family? Only time will tell.
