Wild West (The BDB Project)

In the years following the American Civil War, you lead a simple life as a cowboy. Despite the low wage, you scrimp and save and manage to buy a small ranch near Tucson, Arizona, where you live with your wife Sarah and daughter Betty. You dream of a bright future for your daughter and work hard every day to earn the money needed to provide her with a good education.

Then, one day, your peaceful existence is shattered when Pablo Cortez and his gang raid your ranch on their return to Nogales after a robbery in Tucson. They shoot you in the head and leave you for dead. Luckily for you, the wound is superficial, but, when you come to, you discover that your life savings have been stolen, and Sarah and Betty have been kidnapped. You dress your wound and quickly recover, determined to find Sarah and Betty.

A few hours later, you're in hot pursuit of Cortez's gang. In retrospect, this was a stupid thing to do on your own. Halfway through the desert, your horse dies from the heat and exertion. You're now by yourself, on foot, and your horse lays dead at your feet.

This is a life or death situation. Despite the odds, you must press on if you want to see your family alive again, but consider every move carefully, as the Wild West is a deadly and unforgiving place.
