The Gunstringer

This is an action-adventure game in which players guide an undead cowboy marionette through stage-play performances. As players run and jump through Wild West-themed landscapes, they use a “cartoony” pistol to dispatch various puppet characters (e.g., bandits, birds, inflatable tube men, cardboard cutouts). Some firefights are accompanied by realistic gunfire and small explosions; enemies disappear amid puffs of smoke when defeated. In one live-action sequence, players use targeting crosshairs to shoot at human audience members who run across the screen; in another stage, players navigate around giant bloodstained knives. The game also contains some suggestive dialogue and depictions: a female character is depicted with exaggerated-sized breasts and protruding cleavage; a character appears to be straddling an alligator in a sexual manner (e.g., “[T]he lumberjack would later claim that he was only wrasslin' the gator . . . but the Gunstringer had seen the truth of it in their eyes.”); the dialogue contains some sexual jokes and innuendo (e.g., “[T]he brothel Madame, whose magnificent yabbos notwithstanding, he had marked for death” and “The train was about to make its last and final stop at the bottom of Dry Hump Canyon.”). A reference to peyote is also contained in dialogue.
