The game is a short story about a fancy ghost who pridefully exhibits his legs to the local townghosts, at least that is how he imagined his day to be like. Instead he is beaten to the kick by another ghost with legs, and a cowboy no less! Realizing there is absolutely no other way to solve this conflict the ghosts must have a duel in order to determine who’s allowed in town. The story itself is told through a series of boxes with dialouge, illustrated comic panels and playable story-segments like walking into town and fighting for your honor by kicking your legs.
