Gameplay
Gameplay
This Land Is My Land is a stealth action game set in an open world resembling the 19th-century American frontier. Players control a male indigenous protagonist, with no reference to any specific tribe or time period, as well as NPC allies to assist in scouting and other duties. The gameplay revolves around stemming the invasion of non-indigenous settlers into indigenous territory. The player can use weapons, set traps and baits, and mount a horse to hasten their travels. Every playthrough is different because the world changes every time a player restarts the game. Cities grow differently, camps develop in altered places, and patrols take new routes, so that the player does not have any reference points from the last playthrough. The game also features a "karma" system that penalizes the player for taking violent revenge on invading colonizers.

Reception
The game was criticised for its stereotypical portrayal of Native American peoples as a homogenous people rather than a varied group of peoples with different cultures, and for not consulting any indigenous people during the design and writing of the game. Baylee Giroux of Vice criticised the developer's denials of racist or stereotypical content, noting that they "could have listened respectfully to their criticism", but "instead they've done actual harm" with the creation of the game and its community.
