What The Caribou Trail is

The Caribou Trail is an adventure game developed by Unreliable Narrators and released in 2026. It was published by Indie Asylum. It is available on PlayStation 5 and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Gallipoli, 1915. Far from home, Fisher leaves his quiet harbor town in Newfoundland to join the British war effort with his friends. They expect a short-lived adventure full of tales to bring back home. What awaits them is not glory, but dirt, loss… and a touch of madness. The quiet gestures that hold a regiment together, the impossible choices, the weight of survival and... well, dubious stews no one back home would dare to call edible.

A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 15GB.
