Land of Strangers (LoSt) is a Roguelike game in very early development. It is set in a fictional world inspired by [[Wild West]] stories, and hopes to incorporate some innovative features as development goes on. The setting aims to take inspiration from sources such as Sergio Leone and Akira Kurosawa, Dead Man, El Topo, Carnivale, Deadwood, Deadlands RPG, The Place of Dead Roads, The Return of Post Apocalyptic Cowgirls, Vedic scriptures, and more.
