Special dispatch · The story

The Tale of Sunset Hills

The lamps are being lit along Main Street, and Sunset Hills could use a hand. When Ted, Catherine and their friends reach the little frontier town, it has seen better days — and a corrupt mayor with big ambitions is already circling what is left of it. That is where you ride in.

Country Tales: Wild West is a heartwarming time-management strategy game from Cateia Games. Tap to gather resources, build and upgrade houses, manage your workers and keep the townsfolk thriving. Explore charming frontier towns, trade what you can spare, complete quests for the people who need you — and quietly out-plan a mayor whose plans serve no one but himself.

Every level is a small story: a house to raise, a caravan to meet, a promise to keep. Dozens of handcrafted locations unfold under atmospheric visuals and a soundtrack worth leaving on — story-driven progression carries the whole tale from one warm dusk to the next.
