The Caribou Trail

Trench reality

The tasks set before us are varied. During the course of the game, we take part in reconnaissance missions, occasionally engage in target elimination, and try to reach the bodies of fallen colleagues to recover their immortals (which forces us to crawl through no-man's land).

In breaks from following orders, we can practice shooting, hang out by the campfire, cook meals of dubious quality, and chat with friends and tell a variety of stories.

Relationships with friends

The pillar of the described production is the relationship with companions in misery. Like the protagonist, they are ordinary people with their own personalities and weaknesses, and each of them brings something unique to trench life.

In their conversations they do not shy away from tales with a twist. For the game, this provides an opportunity to introduce elements?of psychological horror, as under their influence the line between reality and imagination begins to blur. It is up to us whether we take the ghosts seen in the darkness as mere illusions or believe that they are something more than products of our imagination.

Plot

The Caribou Trail takes us back to the time of World War I. The production tells the story of Fisher and his friends, who, in search of glory and experiences worth telling, left a port town in Newfoundland to enlist in the British army. Although the protagonists expected a short adventure, they came to take part in the Battle of Gallipoli, considered one of the bloodiest chapters of the Great War.

Graphics

The stylized graphic design of The Caribou Trail game was made in low poly technique. Its individual elements consist of a relatively small number of polygons, which gives the whole game a somewhat "cartoonish" character.
