What it is
El Paso, Elsewhere is a supernatural third-person shooter from Strange Scaffold, set in a reality-shifting motel in El Paso, Texas. The motel has grown from three stories into 49, all below ground. Play as the protagonist hunting werewolves, fallen angels, vampires, and other creatures while trying to save Draculae's victims and destroy the villain you loved. The single-player campaign is fully voiced and framed as a neo-noir story. Combat features slow-motion dives, barricades, holy-blue-flame Molotov cocktails, and destructible physics objects. An original hip-hop soundtrack accompanies the action. Steam lists single-player, achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing.
