About This Game
Before there was a town, there was a road. Nine wagons heading east, the dead close behind, and nobody aboard who can shoot. Arm your settlers with everything they own and keep the caravan moving. The prequel to Dead Man's Gulch.
Detailed Description
What you do
- Ride a wagon train east while the dead chase it down the road
- Post your Settlers on the wagons, and roll barrels and fling nets at what closes in
- Level up during a run and pick a skill card each time, Tier1 - Tier3 Skills
- Bank Headway at every checkpoint you pass — win or lose — and spend it on permanent upgrades
- Come back stronger and get further than last time. Constant progression
Keep them off the wagons.
The town could be held. The road cannot. Towards the Gulch puts you on a caravan that never stops moving, with the dead running behind it and gaining. It is a prequel to "Dead Man's Gulch", riding east in the hopes of finding a good place to settle down...There is no wall or roof to hide on. What you have is a rolling line of wagons, the Settlers standing on them, and whatever you can throw off the back.
Run the road, hold the line
- Ditch wagons that are about to get overrun — every new wagon you migrate to provides more places to post Settlers
- Roll barrels into the chasers, send gliders out over the road and fling nets that take up to eight in a single throw
- Ricochets that carry from one body to the next, and skills that make them bounce further
- Twelve kinds of dead run this road — the seven from the town, and five more that only come out here
Fall behind, learn, ride again
Every run ends. What you learned does not. Headway carries over into a ledger of permanent upgrades — more gold, steadier throwing, and bounces that go further — so the next road starts a little less hopeless than the last.- Real progression from run to run
- Progress saves itself
- English, German and Spanish
A note from the developer
Towards the Gulch is where I took everything the town taught me and put it on wheels. I wanted to frame the existing mechanics in a completely new format, and to add some that only work on a moving road.If you play it and something feels off, tell me — I read everything and want to make this the best it can be.
— Matthias, Off the Clock Hermit
