Stick-figure wild west comedy West of Loathing is heading to Switch this spring

Developer Asymmetric Publications has announced that its delightful stick-figure wild west comedy West of Loathing will be making its way to Switch this spring.

Asymmetric calls West of Loathing a "single-player slapstick comedy adventure role-playing game", and it's a spin-off of the developer's long-running, browser-based multiplayer RPG, the Kingdom of Loathing. Where Kingdom of Loathing is a largely text-based, lo-fi experience, however, West of Loathing offers a gloriously surreal, fully animated cowboy adventure, playing out something like a point-and-click game.

"Talk your way out of trouble as a silver-tongued Snake Oiler," says Asymmetric, "plumb the refried mysteries of the cosmos as a wise and subtle Beanslinger, or let your fists do the talking as a fierce Cow Puncher. Explore a vast open world and encounter a colorful cast of characters, some of whom are good, many of whom are bad, and a few of whom are ugly."
