Westerado is a game I'm hoping develops more of a cult-following, maybe not because it's anything mind-blowing at all on its own, but because it at least tries to execute the ideas I've been hoping to see rise over the past few years. Yes, it's a souped-up browser game and that limited scope is almost lethal to the games success, given missions have you doing not much more than going to Point A and Point B to either talk or shoot, but it's the way it wants you to talk and shoot, and how it ties that into everything else, that makes it so interesting. The entire game strings you through a long trail of breadcrumbs to figure out who your (randomly-selected) family's murderer is and every quest ties back into it usually with either money to get you further on your quest or a clue given detailing what he looks like, and sometimes you'll have every quest tying into every other quest with them either solving or failing themselves due to unexpected interactions they have. It's a very emergent style of storytelling, further bolstered by the ability to just pull a gun on anyone to change how they act, and sometimes it gets to the point that even bandits will begin to fear you and hesitate to attack from what you've done. The game has a lack of much content for you to do, but the connections and threads are constantly keeping it interesting and add to the replay value in a way I crave for other games, as it follows the sentiment of "actions speak louder than words" in a way similar games really don't usually, and it always gives you something to latch onto even without much of a strong main plot, just due to how deeply interwoven everything is. If any of this sounds interesting: go forth and play it, it's nothing amazing on its own, but it's an example for the future; a microcosm of design choices that I hope future role-playing games and adventure games pull from.
