What is The Oregon Trail?

A single-player historical strategy adventure that reimagines the classic wagon journey to Oregon. Across separate journeys and quests, you choose a party, pack the wagon, manage travelers, oxen, supplies, and repairs, and respond to random hazards through decisions, hunting, fishing, and rafting, aiming to reach Oregon before winter.

Not for you if...

−you expect detailed customization of every party member
−you dislike random setbacks and demanding resource management
