El Hijo is a spaghetti western, indie stealth game. The game is set in a
mythical place of the 19th century that very much resembles the American west, as we
know it from Sergio Leone‘s westerns, taking some of its most popular characteristics of
outlaw gangs, saloons, cunning, sarcasm, irony, etc. There is no indication of a
specific time, or place. It could be everywhere and anywhere. You guide 6-year old boy
El Hijo on his quest to find his father, by escaping a monastery, fighting his way
through the desert and avoiding monstrous creatures, and outsmarting horrible gangsters
in the saloon of a villain town.
