EL PASO ELSEWHERE

Developer/publisher Strange Scaffold Format PC Release 2022

The latest from the absurdly prolific Xalavier Nelson Jr is a homage to classic thirdperson shooters, in which a Texas motel has gained 46 storeys – “all below ground”. And all stuffed with werewolves, demons and other supernatural entities, which you gun down in Max Payne fashion: running, diving, sliding backwards and firing twin pistols in slow motion. It is, Nelson says, both a love story and his most personal game to date. But of course.
