Ratings and reviews

This is the best western choice of games I have played yet. A great deal of variety in each playthrough. You could kill everybody you meet or you can befriend everyone. This game is really adaptable to your play style. The plot is well done, the whole story tied together, every single character has a purpose and is fleshed out completely at the end of the story. With all the possible stats for this book there are many different ways to play. Western choice game. Highly recommend.

You guys make some of the best text based games Ive ever read. The stories, plots and characters are great. Engaged from beginning to end. I do have a request. Could you make a version that ran on flash or something like a website version, so I could access them from work whereas I cant have my phone or download things to the computer. That.would.be.amazing...

Tin Star boasts a rough, unforgiving setting and a spectacular amount of choice, featuring some of the most player freedom in the market. The attention to detail is exquisite, the usage of skills and stats is masterfully integrated with the story and choice system. And greatest of all is the utterly fluid plot structure, with a pacing that is completely natural. Sadly, holding Tin Star back from being a classic, are the relatively dry and simplistic characters, who lack the same level of nuance as the choices and plot surrounding them, though this isn't a mark against the writing, they are well written for what input the large cast of characters have.
