About Trail of the Wretched
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.

This is great. A compelling story with interesting characters in an interesting world.1 found this helpful
Absolutely dark and gut-wrenching. Makes you feel very invested, helpless and like you're actually there in the area where it all plays out. A short but lovely story with classic Xavier Bell-tones. I had a very good and cozy time with this.
Bleak and sparse, but both in service of an intriguing short narrative. Highly recommend.
It's great but stay very far away if you are not into the flavor. That flavor being there is no pure love but there is pure evil and that evil most of the time wins - because most people are too stupid and lazy to understand and fixing things is more work than they want to do. That level of work being zero. I'm going to go lie down now and never play or read anything by this dev again. But it's great.
Trail of the Wretched is an enjoyable visual novel. It's a linear story with the opportunity to make some snarky conversation choices. You might even get to say something profound.
Short but Good
