Cattle Country Launches Open Beta
If you’re interested in a cutesy pixel-art western life simulator, the open beta demo of Cattle Country by Castle Pixel has been launched and is now available on Steam.
You can download it and try out the game, and perhaps even help shape the direction of the sim. Here’s what you can expect, directly from the press release.
- At the start, you will be able to create your character, manage a pre-built ranch, interact with local characters, and explore some of the early features!
- Start by customizing your character, your pronouns, naming your ranch, and meeting Mayor Archibald who will welcome you to the town. To save a little time, the Mayor has set up a small, simple ranch to get you started! Here, you can engage in an optional tutorial to get a lay of the land or jump straight in!
- Mayor Archibald will then stay near your ranch, ready to whisk you away to the Town Square or the Mines if you want to fast travel. However, if you would prefer to explore on foot, signposts will be dotted about to help you on your way!
- You’ll also be able to interact with and befriend a small handful of the lively characters planned for the full game, who will have a variety of quests for you to potentially help with!
- These lovely folk are known as the Welcoming Committee, with Carl, the bank teller, Sassy, the outdoor expert, John the blacksmith, and Carrie, who owns the saloon (which, rumors have it, might be haunted!!) all ready to guide you on your adventure!
- Ready to get your hands dirty? Then it’s time to dig deep and explore the mines, try out your fishing skills, craft items, decorate your homestead, and more!
