I’m guessing that part of the map is supposedly the empty desert in which you chase the buffalo during the tutorial.

You can enter the piece of map beside the abandoned town through the fence in the upper right side of the abandoned town, but it is just a black screen that requires reset everytime

Hi, big fan! But the glitches are driving me insane. Every time I play it’s a race against time if im gonna finish before I suddenly reach a location that will just be black, after which there is no way to continue. Are you planning on patching this game? Im so addicted )=

Another thing, I’ve explored most of the map, but there’s still a small piece of the map that’s empty right beside the abandoned town and left of your old burned home/uncle’s home. Anyone know how to get to it?

(funfact: you can visit your ma, and brother’s graves over at your burned home soon as you finish tutorial or if you skipped it, soon as you leave your uncle’s place and come back.)

ikr… damn shame too. Also funfact, The 3 banditos reunion including the one with the dutch bandito is an easter egg and is supposed to be the 3 developers composing ostritch banditos studios. (proof is the username one of them used to reply here.)

There’s no way that I know of. And quite possibly there’s another bug there: once Madame Hat assigns you the mission, you no longer can talk to any of the saloon owners, except you draw your gun on them, holster it, and then apologize for it. And this is every time you wanna talk to any of them.

Moreover, they’re not programmed as different characters. If you pull your gun on one of ‘em, the other one will also ask you to apologize for it.

does anyone know how to get the 2 saloon owners together? Madame Hat says something about it but I can’t figure out what she means…

I’ve now finished the game several times. At first I thought this was a great game, but now I see it’s actually much better than great. The glitches keep ruining it, but I keep going back to it, and when by chance I can actually play it, it is bliss.
Besides the bugs that plague it, I found, there are many continuity errors. Some of them are funny within the concept that it’s all part of a (potentially bad) western film. Some of them are just the authors letting the player have the freedom to form alliances at will in many configurations, and then forgetting what sort of consequences some o’ those configurations should have.
Many sub-plots are suggested but don’t lead anywhere. The tycoon’s involvement in your family’s murder is never explored. The rancher’s rebellion against the tycoon never happens. The rancher’s INVOLVEMENT in your family’s murder is suggested sometimes near the ending, but if you stop there and go back to talk to the ranchers, or to kill them, nothing actually happens. The three bandits’ reunion also never happens, no matter how many times you talk to the three of ’em once you find them. The clues are sometimes rendered useless if the man with the map to the hideout contacts you early enough.
And that’s the thing with this game. You need to play it in order to believe that such a flawed thing can be this beautiful.
