The Director’s Cut is top tier: expansions are broken

This game has always had a special place in my heart. I used to sit in the back seat of my dad’s pathfinder during roadtrips and pretend I was on the road to Safe Haven, dodging death and zombies. I HIGHLY recommend it, as its great fun and, imo, a vast improvement on Oregon Trail. Now, the expansions are also great. I particularly love the Clement’s Quest mini game. Problem is, on the phone they cause a particular game breaking glitch. The expansion includes a bonus boss battle after the final gas run and after said boss battle, there’s a final screen: “You make it to safe haven” BUT the game soft-crashes and you're trapped looking at the final screen. If you restart, you’re forced to battle the boss again. If you lose, well, that’s just frustrating, but if you win, after fighting the boss twice, you get a victory screen, yes, but all the points you’d receive for your trip (stock-piled supplies, miles driven, etc.) are null and void. The game only registers the base score. I suppose if you’re okay with fighting the boss twice and not getting a score at the end, the expansions are otherwise glitch free, but I enjoy winning once and getting a score. Expansions work great on PC tho (to include a two player mode where your friends can play as a dog), so I just keep it base game on my phone for trips and such, and play with all the extra frills on pc.

Best game ever except for one Thing

This game is absolutely amazing, the music makes the game very foreboding and the gameplay is absolutely stellar. At first I thought I would hate it since it was based on Oregon trail but I absolutely love it to death and beyond. There is just one problem though. And no it is not the fact that I had to pay for expansions or that the game was 3 dollars. It's the fact that clements quest seems to have a problem when I can't get past the giant mountain after Las Vegas. For some reason I always slow down to a crawl when I get to the mountain and I don't know how to go faster. I have seen youtubers play it and they go over the mountain like its cake walk. I would like and update where it is not hard to accelerate to top speed on any incline, or at least a way to go faster. The game is stellar but clements quest needs to be fixed, sooner rather than later. Other than that the game is well made and I am just addicted to it. Thanks for all your work so far.

End of game bug is only complaint

The game is effectively the best version of Oregon Trail on IOS. The apple arcade version is kinda trash. If you're okay with the zombie theme it's the best recreation of the game even down to the art style. Only complaint is the game locks up when reaching safe haven if youve fought the boss before hand(happened on normal and hard for me, which is weird because I thought the boss was only even there on hard and up). The first time I played on normal and the boss wasn't there, the game ended just fine. Having your game crash right at the end is always a bummer and it's happened to me twice now. That said, game is still a blast and I still get the unlocks for completion even if I don't get to see my score. Totally worth the buy.

8-bit Z's, but....

This game rocks! Seriously one of my favorite games on my phone! The controls are easy to learn and it's highly entertaining! Plus the decisions you have to make to survive keep you on the edge of your seat!(I mean if your sitting down) However, I do have some issues with the final cut expansion. It's a really cool expansion, but for some reason you are no longer given any sort of points for survivors, or supplies, or any extra points for anything actually other than difficulty level and distance. This is suuuuper dissatisfying, making all of your saving and scavenging useless in the end. AND on top of that, for some reason after the boss battle, when it says "you made it in to safe haven" IT FREEZES! You beat the game, and after all of your hard work the game freezes on you! That, as you can imagine is very frustrating. I just ask that you fix these problems or just make a way to toggle the expansion on and off so we can choose not to deal with it. Other than that the game is great!

Good game but the ending wasn’t.

I just bought this game last night and played it three times. During the last play through I was able to make it to safe haven. Everyone in perfect health, car running great but a little low on ammo. Ok, now to collect 8 gas cans. Don’t ask me how this happened but I lost my entire part in less than 5 minutes. One touch from a zombie is an instant kill. My leader was attacked or touched by zombies too many times while scavenging, but was easily healed with medkits. I had several but wasn’t allowed to use them if a zombie touched me searching for the gas cans. That seemed like a low blow to me after making it this far in perfect health. After sacrificing my last teammate to have the zombies eat him to distract, I collected the remaining 3 gas cans. Strangely, I ended up collecting 13 of 8 gas cans and then the game was stuck and couldn’t get to the next part. Very frustrating and disappointed after thinking this was a great game up to this point. I’ll try it again and see if I can get 8 of 8 cans cans this time.

Oregon Trail...with zombies! Yes!

Being from the “Oregon Trail Generation” I loved playing the original Oregon Trail on the old apple computers as a kid and now the adult me can play Organ Trail on iOS! These developers took the gameplay of the original Oregon Trail and made it more geared towards adults by adding zombies, bandits, and a dark survival twist to it! Instead of “hunting” now it’s “scavenging”, instead of “fording” it’s “sneaking through horde”. The music is a fantastic mix of ominous rocking chiptunes, synth, and real instruments, and the gameplay is a great balance of being incredibly fun and challenging, you really have to manage your resources just like the original Oregon Trail! If you’ve played Death Road to Canada (also influenced by Oregon Trail), you’ll love this! Organ Trail plays much closer to the original Oregon Trail (it even has keyboard click sounds, yes!) and is much darker than Death Road, as Organ Trail does not have the wacky humor nor the character customization depth as Death Road (Organ Trail does have some dark humor moments though and you can unlock characters “skins” if you’ve purchased the add-on). Honestly, I love both games, and anyone who likes zombie survival games (especially with a retro look) will love this game, Buying the add-ons is a no-brainer (heh) and TOTALLY worth it! 5 stars!!!!!!!!!

The Perfect Mobile Game

Caveat, I have all the expansions. The sheer breadth of content, the quantity of variables for subsequent playthroughs, the surprising level of both visual and gameplay polish for a game going for the C64 era look, being able to play it both in an active and passive manner, the cool, jammy, synthy horror music, the fairly low power draw due in part to the lofi visual aesthetic, and the fact that it’s essentially a complete experience that doesn’t include micro transactions (sans purchasing the two expansions, which are fairly cheap anyway and bring it up to parity with the Steam version), ads, or time and token limited play, I can verifiably call this the finest mobile game in existence. If you play games on mobile and Organ Trail isn’t one of them, I implore you to change that immediately.

Best Game Nov. 2019!!!

Best game on App Store! Download this now! Just like Oregon Trail! I loved it! I recommend beating the game with just the $2.99 app with no expansions bought! I liked the original way best I believe but who knows... I may edit this and say otherwise after beating it again on the expansions side... But to me, the original “Organ Trail” at 2.99 felt more scary and I was more enthrawled in my story. Very creepy soundtrack! Soundtrack tends to change in the expansions which I don’t care for due to the mood set in the game.... and you can choose paths in expansion, but honestly I prefer the $2.99 and having to use the station wagon! That to me is an incredible DND style story. I felt so sad and creeped out, and bc of my names a lot of funny humor. I love this game and give it a 10/10! Buy it!
