One of the weirdest moments of the game: George Donner rewards you for meeting up with him by giving you “meat” that is very “fresh.” Ewww. They’ll reward you with gold, wagon parts, or food. Historical figures like Annie Oakley, Wyatt Earp, and George Donner show up at certain locations and you can choose to embark on quests for them. Upon reaching certain landmarks, you’ll often witness your character’s family offer humorous banter in the form of text bubbles (“Are we there yet?” “No!”). The game’s system has been revamped as well, eliminating some choices for the player (you’ll never be asked which kind of medicine to give a party member, just whether to rest, continue, or seek help) and expanding others (now you can fish, pick berries, pick up hitchhikers and much more). Cartoon exaggerations allow for moments of slapstick fun such as when one of your party members gets eaten by a snake or your Yosemite Sam-like party leader remarks about how “majestic” eagles are before he picks one off for dinner. The entire game gets a cartoon makeover that makes it visually distinct from previous versions and automatically sets the game’s tone as more light-hearted.
