“World to the West is about the joy of discovery.” says Peter Meldahl,  CEO of Rain Games. “In this action adventure, we have drawn from the genre’s rich past. It has also been a joy to experiment with a range of mechanics that have never been tried in a game like this before.” Set in the same universe as Teslagrad, a vast world of blue skies and dark caves awaits our fearless adventurers, as they try to unveil the mysteries of an ancient prophecy… and hopefully find a way back home!
