The Cost of Justice in Protecting a Family

*Bass X Machina* is set in a steampunk Western where brutal outlaws, machines, and supernatural threats collide. Here, a father takes on the roles of judge, jury, and executioner to protect his family. The problem is that the judgments he makes in the name of justice may force the family he is trying to save to pay an irreversible price.

A Premise That Changes the Order of the Western

Unlike conventional Westerns, where a sheriff or courtroom restores order, this series centers on one character shouldering all three roles of the law at once. The conflict therefore does not end with simply defeating an enemy. In an environment ruled by violence, machinery, and supernatural horror, decisions made for the family clash with fair judgment, exploring choices in which protection itself can become a sacrifice.
