Silverload is a graphic adventure video game developed by Millennium Interactive and published by Psygnosis in Europe and Vic Tokai in North America.

The player controls, via a first person perspective, a Wild West cowboy as he ventures into a haunted town in order to save a child that was taken from his parents.

In 1879, a half-Native American bounty hunter known as "The Gunslinger" is hired by a travelling settler to rescue his son, Ben, who was kidnapped by supernatural raiders.

The sole survivor of the massacre, a Native shaman, then cursed the townsfolk to be unable to leave Silverload and transform into monstrous creatures harmed by silver; in response, the Preacher formed The Order, a satanic cult seeking the means by which to escape the town.

[3] The review stated that the "few minor details" of "jerky animation, incoherent puzzles, bad interface and horrendous lip-synching ... separate Silverload from the gaming classics," and attested the one redeeming factor was its plot.

[5] Unlike Scary Larry, a reviewer for Next Generation was actually pleased with the illustrations, saying they "give even the relatively 'normal' scenes in the game a strange, ethereal glow."

He also praised the dialogue, challenge, and generally chilling atmosphere, though he criticized that the hot-spot based interface makes the control difficult even when using the PlayStation Mouse.

"[2] IGN was also positive, claiming "Great graphics and a compelling horror story set in the Old West make for a truly remarkable game."

"[6] The game is also occasionally listed for being one of the weirdest western works ever created,[7][8] and the PlayStation version is also considered a collectable for being one of only a handful of titles released in the bumpy-cased longbox packaging.
