Orion Trail is a weird and humorous science fiction space adventure where you get to lead your crew to glory or certain death.

It features pixelated visuals and all manner of zany elements such as alien warp weasels, space combat, space monsters, and a ton of meaningful decisions that shape your destiny.

Your mission as captain of the Indestructible II vessel is to explore and survive the many challenges of the enigmatic Orion Trail.

Although there is a lot of death involved, the game is very lighthearted and focuses on fun and games, at last until someone loses an eye, or a spaceship, that is.

The gameplay revolves around making difficult decisions and managing your crew and resources, trying to survive for as long as you can, in the face of various cataclysmic encounters. You'll face the abominable Spacesquatch, a mysterious illness that causes your crew to sprout tentacles and turn green, and a lot of other crazy things.

To get a better idea of the tone and content of Orion Trail, you can watch the game's pitch video below.

The game is currently undergoing a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and you can also try out a playable prototype on the Orion Trail website.
