About this game

A land of danger and decay.

You hop off the boat and step onto the dirt of the New World. The wind is suffocating. The people are suspicious. Outlaws roam free and corruption is an everyday fact of life. Between the small towns littered across the continent is a vast wilderness where no sane person would dare to venture.

You are entirely out of your element, but there's no turning back now. Take those pictures like you were told to do, and try not to say anything stupid.

Trail of the Wretched is a bleak visual novel set on a fictional continent inspired by the old west. You play as a photographer sent across the ocean to capture the New World in all its untamed and horrible beauty.

You'll argue with the voices in your head, witness unspeakable acts, cross rivers, acquire a fancy new coat, put your head in a noose, and maybe, just maybe, you'll say something profound.

Length: 1-2 Hours.
