Is it still worth playing?

Asymmetric Publications' 2017 comedy role playing game for PC, a Western drawn in black and white stick figures, set in the world of Kingdom of Loathing. You leave the family farm and head west, through towns such as Boring Springs and Dirtwater. Your choices set your class and open different paths through conversations. Combat is turn based, with abilities learned from books found around the land, and items and some abilities can be used without spending a turn. Side quests come with brainteasers. Today the choices still make it worth a second run: your class and what you say open different paths, so a new character sees different scenes.
