SilverLoad is the title of a graphic adventure video game produced by Vic Tokai in 1996. In this single-player game, you control, via a first person perspective, a Wild West cowboy as he ventures into a haunted town in order to save two children that were taken from their parents.

The U.S. based Entertainment Software Ratings Board gave the game a "M" rating for its graphic violence, blood and gore, and bits of profanity. The game was released for the personal computer in Europe, and the original PlayStation edition was given an international release.

As is the case with other graphic adventure games, progress in SilverLoad involves finding and interacting with various "hot spots" in order to pick up objects, solve puzzles and interact with (or kill) the various characters in the town. Picking up certain objects will cause the game's (and town's) clock to move forward, and thus, the trick to success is to pick up the right items in the precise order. Otherwise, you have to restart the game from the beginning, or from wherever you saved the game.

Silverload was originally developed for the Sony PlayStation.

STORY:
Somewhere in the Old West lies Silverload, an old mining time. It has once been a vibrant, silver boom-town, but now it has become a ghost town, surrounded by perpetual storms. The town’s decline has started with a disastrous earthquake, but it may also be caused by an Indian curse, because the mine was built on land sacred to the Skaedi tribe. You play the part of a bounty hunter who has been hired by the people of Silverload to find one of their children. The parents claim that it is kidnapped by "the monsters of Silverload". If you survive long enough, you will discover the town’s dreadful secret. Silverload is a 3rd POV, inventory-based point and click adventure that belongs to the genre of horror adventures. It includes a few arcade sequences: from time to time the player will become involved in gun fights.

  Manufacturer's description:

MORE MONEY THAN YOU'LL EVER SEE IN A LIFE TIME.

That's what they'll give you if you succeed in finding the missing son of two settlers. Of course, this is all easier said than done, considering the circumstances surrounding their request. You'll have to head on out to the town of Silverload where, the word is, vampires and werewolves reside. Its' an old town in the west, with a sheriff, preacher, and gunfights. Many who have ventured into Silverload have never been seen again, and those that returned, didn't live long enough to say much about their experience.

Silverload... It's a Scary Town, But The Money's Good.
