Synopsis

On 24 January 1848, James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill, Coloma. When news spread, thousands flocked to the area and the great Californian gold rush began.

Mining camps popped up all over the place and some of these developed into townships. When the gold rush died down, some of these towns were abandoned just as quickly as they had appeared.

You're a grizzled old prospector who's down on his luck. You haven't found any gold in weeks and your supplies have dwindled to practically nothing, so you decide to head to town. When you get there, you find that the town has been abandoned. What can you do?

You can't survive without supplies and the next town is miles away. Enough is enough. You know when you're beaten. You decide to return back home, but first, you'll need to scavenge the town for *treasures* to fund the trip.

Notes

This game is enhanced reworking of Hangtown; a 1989 game by John H. Doolittle

The original game was ported to Inform 6 by Garry Francis using the PunyInform library. It was then enhanced in collaboration with the original author to become 'Hangman's Gulch'. The map and puzzles are similar to the original, but the solution is considerably different.

The game can be played online or downloaded from Hangman's Gulch.
