Your bad choices literally haunt you in fantasy western RPG Arco, which has quickly and quietly become one of the most interesting games I've played this year

Key art of Arco, showing a figure in a poncho leading a llama into the distance.

I'm not cut out for life on the frontier. I have, at time of writing, died to bandits, lizards, beetles, random misfortune, and "snacks," and the forecast is I will find even dumber things to die to in future.

This is Arco, a "dynamic tactical RPG" that's also a magical western. It's a 2D, side-scrolling thing where you play the role of several different members of an indigenous community over multiple acts, often dealing with the tragic, vengeful aftermath of colonialist crimes against your clan and kin.
