About
The WWI story where your goal isn’t to kill, but to survive. In the still trenches, three soldiers learn the harsh truth of war: reckless missions, digging trenches, collecting dog tags and ghostly whispers in the dark. Home before the leaves fall, they thought.

"The Caribou Trail is one of the more emotionally grounded WW1 games I’ve played in a while. Its biggest strengths are easily the story, characters, and atmosphere. The game does a great job making the player care about the people at the center of its story while also capturing the emotional weight of the historical events that inspired it. It does have some performance issues, and the slower pacing definitely won’t be for everyone, but the overall experience left a strong impression on me. This is the kind of game that stays with you because of its mood and emotional moments rather than action or spectacle. If you enjoy story-driven games with strong atmosphere and character writing, The Caribou Trail is absolutely worth experiencing."

Read full review →"The Caribou Trail left me caring for an unknown war story. Fisher, Gordon and Lonnie’s human tale of small island men being cast into a global conflict is equal parts sombre and heartwarming. The title’s great voice acting and audio design immersed me into this short story deeply."
Read full review →"The Caribou Trail presents a strong, albeit short, story worth experiencing alongside some boring, tedious, and downright pointless mechanics. While I recommend it for the story, it is one of those games that leave me wishing it were just a movie or an interactive visual novel, rather than what can only be described as a walking simulator."
