Reviews are surprisingly good. I didn't find one below an 8.5

A Souls-Like Western full of Eldritch horrors. Explore the accursed Wild West town of Tombwater and lay bare the darkness that lies beneath. Survive blood-spilling combat in this gruesome 2D action-RPG that may just drive you to madness.

🎮 Steam ✅

As far as I'm aware the defining quality of a Metroidvania is backtracking and unlocking new branches/offshoots/areas of previous zones as you unlock new movement abilities. Which is why Control almost qualifies as a Metroidvania. No idea about this game though.
