Kerfuffle

The coyote who calls himself Jericho, having made a list of enemies longer than the Colorado frontier, finds himself with a bountiful bounty on his ears and a contentious contingent of gunslingers one step behind him. Checking into a saloon with no name, he hopes to evade their advance and lay low for an eternity or two, or however long it takes to change your identity in the lawless west. Unfortunately, or perhaps deservedly, he's wronged so many folks out there that they say he could walk into any bar and the whole room would be out for his blood - a saying that, as he's about to find out, is hardly an exaggeration.

A story of wit and "diplomacy" (manipulation), Kerfuffle is all about the four fine specimens you'll meet in this mountain tavern, and convincing them not to spill your guts, or at least to spill someone else's.

This project started out as a visual novel, and a demo was completed for it which is available on Itch.io. Priorities have since shifted, and this story is now cancelled in favour of other projects. The Dev Blog is still available if you're interested in seeing how the demo came together.
