Summary
El Hijo is an indie stealth game inspired by the spaghetti western genre.
The game takes place in a mythical 19th-century setting that strongly evokes the American West, as depicted in the films of Sergio Leone. It draws on classic elements such as outlaw gangs, saloons, wit, sarcasm, and irony. The time and location remain intentionally vague—this world could exist anywhere and at any time.
You play as El Hijo, a six-year-old boy on a journey to find his father. He must flee a monastery, survive the harsh desert, evade monstrous creatures, and outwit ruthless gangsters in the saloon of a dangerous town.
