The game has a western theme set in the US in 1899 and follows the story of the fictitious ‘Arthur Morgan’ who is played by actor Roger Clark.
Roger was born in New Jersey but moved to Sligo at a young age where he went to St. Mary’s College, Ballisodare.
Mr. Clark went on to study acting in the UK where he earned a BA in Theatre, Media and Drama.
