About this game

🌵 As a six-year-old, “El Hijo” must always sneak past the dangers of his world. As he overcomes his challenges, he gains self-confidence, becomes more cunning and, along with it, finds more schemes to get past his foes. 👣 His epic journey will lead him through a remote monastery, a harsh and unforgiving stretch of desert, and a frontier town rife with crime and villainy. 🏘️



The journey begins when a farmer and her son are attacked by bandits who raze their farm to the ground. The mother decides to leave the boy at a secluded monastery to protect him. ⛪ However, the place doesn’t feel right, and he plans his escape. 🏃🏽



🕵️ “El Hijo - A Wild West Tale” is a non-violent stealth game in which you rely on the mischievous playfulness of a young child. Using the shadows to his advantage is the core element of the game, as “El Hijo” will often have to hide. Without needlessly adding new mechanics, the gameplay naturally extends as variations of existing mechanics are gradually introduced and combined to increase the challenge. These twists on familiar mechanics are often a product of the varied, increasingly dangerous environments that “El Hijo” must traverse to reach his ultimate goal. 🌅

It is not really much of a game, all you do is move your character around and avoid being seen. If thats what your into then this game is for you. The ability to duck and hide doesnt feel like it triggers fast enough to be fun really. I got bored after about 15 minutes.

Good game, just not for my tastes. Hence the low rating. I'd say, worth the money though. The premise of the game is that you find you're way through all the enemies either by hiding, or distracting them. Graphics and sound are top-knotch, and the controls are decent. Personally I didn't completely understand the story but good stealth game nevertheless, with tons of levels. Keep up the great work. Kudos.

A decent port. The PC/gamepad control is obviously better, but the touch controls are okay. Love it that the devs put in option for Static D-pad, us Static D-pad homies appreciate it. An option for custom placement would be great, but the game comes 3 pre-configured button placement that should satisfy most players. Came across a Bug. Stage: Balneary; Got caught at the exact moment I inspired a kid. When I respawned, the onscreen controls disappeared and I had to restart game.
