*** follow the Indian questline, [[spoiler:The Murderer was hire by the Indian to set the Buffalo free .]]
** Surname Frank:follow the Indian questline up until you give the token of trust to the Chief younger brother to declare war then go to the fort and kill everyone there and then find the murder then [[spoiler:The Murderer was an Indian-hater who killed your family for harboring them years ago.]]

*** follow the Indian questline, [[spoiler:The Murderer was an Indian-hater who killed your family for harboring them years ago.]]

** If you don't complete a major questline and kill a bunch of people, [[spoiler:''you'' turn out to be the murderer -- specifically, your deranged second personality. You burned down the ranch in a fit of psychosis.]]
** If you don't complete a major questline and don't kill too many people, [[spoiler:The Murderer is your drunken, abusive father, who was thrown out of the house by your mother when you were young. He burned down the ranch for revenge.]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: If you go on a killing spree before trying to find the murderer, your avatar slowly changes through the chase until they become a mirror image of the murderer, who reveals that he's a figment of your subconscious that you blamed for your familicide. Shooting him means your character is actually pointing the gun at his own head in the real world.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard:
** Outside of towns, there is many different types of wildlife. Two of these, the coyote and the scorpion, can damage you. Stepping too close to either of them will cause them to [[ComputersAreFast immediately jump towards you]].
** The scorpion takes it UpToEleven due to the fact that they hide underground and attack without you even seeing them.
** Bonus points because both scorpions and coyotes are NOT limited to horizontally linear attacks like everybody else. They can and will attack you vertically and diagonally.
* TheGunslinger: You, if you decide to go the violent route.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: [[TheGhost Marshall Law]] (mentioned by Sister but never seen). Also invoking PunnyName (see below).
* BreakingTheFourthWall: As with the original version, going on a rampage in ''Double Barreled'' eventually causes "Horde Mode." Only in this version [[spoiler: a director suddenly appears, yelling at you for killing the extras. And then he orders them to kill you.]]
** The [[spoiler: Movie Set can be found in the far north. The Director can be killed safely there, unlike in Horde Mode.]]

* CattleBaron: [[spoiler: Rancher Bob can become this at the end of the Rancher questline.]]
* CompleteImmortality: [[spoiler:The Undertaker.]] Your [[spoiler: Sister]] says that he founded the hundreds-of-years-old [[spoiler: Clintville Graveyard]]. [[TheAgeless If that's true...]]
** On the other hand, since in-universe [[spoiler: this is a movie of sorts, the actor's not really dead if you shot him.]]
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: The player and all the other gun-wielding characters can only shoot left and right, and can’t even fire up and down, let alone diagonally.
** Does not apply to animals, though. See below.
* DialogueTree: Present and functional.

* EveryoneIsArmed: Virtually without exception, every male character in the game has a gun (or a bola. And Indians use tomahawks.), which they will draw if a fight breaks out. Most female characters are also armed with shotguns.

* [[spoiler: JekyllAndHyde]]: [[spoiler: The Tyler Durden ending. Can be played straight with a DownerEnding if you shoot yourself. Massively '''subverted''' if you decide to walk away from your insanity and leave IT to the coyotes.]]
* HatDamage: Interestingly, this is how the game handles extra lives. Getting shot will result in your character's hat flying off and your character pulling another one out of their coat and putting it on. Run out of hats, and you die.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Can be done with the Beefhead Bulls.]]

** It can also be done to [[spoiler: poor Rancher Richard or The Murderer.]]

* OneHitPolyKill: This is one of the draws of the rifle as a weapon (the others being the long range and high accuracy) -- rifle shots pierce through multiple enemies, allowing you to kill several at once if they're lined up. Or kill some of them and shoot the hats off the others.

* RightThroughHisPants: During your one-night stand with [[spoiler:Miss Tress]], not only do you still have your pants on, but ''[[ExaggeratedTrope you're fully dressed, cowboy hat and all]]'' (mainly because there's only one sprite for the player character).

* StoryDrivenInvulnerability: [[spoiler: When you figure out who the killer is, you have to slowly progress through a lot of shooting Mooks and riding on horses. You can only damage him during the final BossBattle.]]
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Outside of towns, there is many different types of wildlife. Two of these, the coyote and the scorpion, can damage you. Stepping too close to either of them will cause them to [[ComputersAreFast immediately jump towards you]].

* TheSlacker: The Ticket Salesman.
* UnusualEuphemism: "Making HATS"?!

* WhatTheHellHero: You can shoot anyone in the game, including [[spoiler: your uncle, who provides you shelter after a bandit burns down your ranch in the first place.]] You get a sweet achievement, though.

* LostForever: This ''is'' a game where you can kill anyone before they have the chance to give you a quest, but a number of quests won't be available later if you complete certain other objectives first. You can, for instance, kill the Oil Tycoon with the Ranchers before taking any jobs from him.

* [[spoiler: OurGhostsAreDifferent]]: [[spoiler: Variant 3. The Ghost Miner is not aware that he's dead, and he's looking for [[ICallItVera Petey]], his trusty pickaxe.]]
** [[spoiler: Sister also mentions that she spoke to the Beefhead Bulls. If you killed all of the Beefhead Bulls at the bridge earlier and ask her to clarify, she makes note that the Bulls had difficult conversation with each other because they were all scared of each other's ghosts.]]

** Marshall Law, as mentioned above.

* ShootOutTheLock: Funnily enough, the only way to open gates in the game. Even the ''owners'' of the game, who [[FridgeLogic would logically have the key]] do this.

There is also a standalone, high-resolution expanded version of the game known as ''Westerado: Double Barreled'', released on {{Steam}} in April 2015.

** It can also be done to [[spoiler: poor Rancher Richard or The Murderer. It seems you ''have'' to do it to the Murderer to beat the game, since you can't walk away and go the CruelMercy route.]]
