Released 29 October 2026 · PC · Action, Casual
A Wild West quick-draw duel: wait for the signal, then draw, aim and fire. Play 1v1 or three-way standoffs, let a friend call the shots as Signal Caller, or race your own Shadow and challenge records from friends and players worldwide.
Story
AT THE READY is a third-person Wild West quick-draw game about the few tense seconds before a shot. Watch your rival, wait for the real signal, then draw, aim and fire. Move too soon and you foul; hesitate and you may be the one who falls. DUEL YOUR WAY Face another gunslinger in 1v1 duels, or enter a three-player last-gunslinger-standing standoff. Play online with Steam friends or join a room with its six-digit code. The host can switch duel modes in the lobby, and players can choose an open seat. Practice alone against a quick-drawing computer opponent. Fake draws add another layer of bluffing before the signal. CALL THE SHOTS Take the optional Signal Caller seat: watch from gunslinger or panoramic viewpoints, send decoy calls and decide when to call the real Fire signal. With no human caller, the game handles the signal. Human-called matches keep their results but do not count toward the fastest-time leaderboard. EVERY SHOWDOWN HAS A TWIST Rule Roulette changes the conditions with twists such as headshots only, a quiet signal or unsteady aim. OUTSMART YOUR RIVAL Choose a skill card before the draw to change your approach. CHASE YOUR FASTEST DRAW In Shadow...
