Enter Rex Rygaard, private detective, public dick. While his partner is on vacation, Rex accepts a case from the big bad Yaponcha Company. Paired with Yaponcha's liaison, the two are tasked with retrieving a stolen mystery item. But Rex is less of a traditional detective and more like a mental detective. "Jus' another way o' sayin' philosopher or psychologist," Rex arrogantly sniffs. Yet his qualifications...don't go beyond the armchair! Led by the Y-agent, he travels across a fantastical alternate West where "equality for all ethnicities, genders, and sexualities has long-been common sense. 19th-century tech is more widespread, and then-ancient technologies have resurfaced.

Quixotic, existential... Journey into a troubled psyche and drink deep its dark waters. Explore an alternate history and witness a world familiar, beautiful, and bizarre. "This here is the Noir West, a bittersweet blend of doubt, surrealism, discrepancy, and Fate, all stirred by six-guns and swords."
