About
Trail & Error is a chaotic co-op survival game for 1–8 players where poor decisions, bad luck, and questionable teamwork are just as dangerous as the trail itself.
Travel together across an unknown frontier, manage limited supplies, survive unpredictable disasters, and try not to abandon your friends when things go wrong. The goal is simple: reach the end of the trail alive.
Every run is a shared journey filled with dynamic events, environmental hazards, and tough choices. Food runs out. Illness spreads. Weather turns hostile. Your wagon breaks at the worst possible time.
When disaster strikes, you’ll have to adapt on the fly or deal with the consequences.
Movement and interaction are driven by physics, turning everyday tasks into unpredictable problems:
Haul supplies and manage a physics-driven wagon
Navigate rough terrain and environmental hazards
Watch plans fall apart in the funniest ways possible
The physics won’t always kill you, but it will make things complicated.
With proximity voice chat, coordination matters especially when things start going wrong. Expect frantic callouts, bad ideas, and arguments that feel all too familiar.

...and I thought the Oregon Trail was hard
yes
Dying while in storage makes you unable to spawn as ghost riding an ox that is running into a log causes you to teleport on said ox miles away much too easy to shoot a teammate, either that or my teammate is an ass
Got dysentery 10/10 immersion
loads of friendslop fun. can't wait to see where this game goes
The game is pretty fun and definitely chaotic! A bit hard to do on your own if you don't know what you are doing but I got lucky and had Warka the dev join me and help show me the ropes! Great game to play with friends. Try to stay alive!
-Great game filled with lots of fun with big or small groups. -Multiple ways to play/strategize your journey -Will sob from laughter -Continuously died from dysentery, lore accurate my experience to the OG OT -Comedic timing is GOLD -Endless surprises along your journey to keep you on your toes and entertained -Devs keep up to date and roll out fixes often -Levels are saved as checkpoints so you can pick up where you left off -Your creativity is kind of the limit to how you want to approach your playthrough -Genuinely look forward to playing this with my friends on the weekends 10/10 play drunk or sober, same amount of fun, my new go to co-op game
Overall the game concept is solid and has a lot of fun moments but I feel there are some things that need addressed before I would really recommend this game: There are several glitches that really become frustrating. Wagon somehow lifted into the air (in plains area where there are three signs very close together) and got stuck on a tree branch, unable to get lose to continue, no mechanic to unstick yourself or restart without losing money and inventory. Oxen disappear randomly while crossing several areas including small stream and small bridge. Desert storm became permanent in a play through (weather is only supposed to be intermittent). Also some annoying UI, like unequipping your clothing constantly.
It is a fun Game that is better with friends
Dumb unfinished game
