Unreliable Narrators’ game was only announced not that long ago, and we already know when it is going to launch…

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, the kind they can later turn into stories once they return home. What awaits them, however, is not glory, but filth, loss, and a touch of madness. There are the quiet gestures that keep the regiment together, the impossible choices, the weight of survival, and stews so questionable that no one back home would dare call them edible.

The Caribou Trail is a harrowing first-person narrative about a group of friends sent on one of the Great War’s most unlikely missions. Inspired by real testimonies, The Caribou Trail blends history with fiction to depict a rarely explored front of World War I: Gallipoli, from the landing all the way to the final evacuation. Cut through barbed wire in no man’s land during a desperate reconnaissance mission, silence a sniper holding the line, and make noise during a chaotic evacuation. Every step is experienced through your own eyes. But this is not about winning the war. It is about enduring it. Explore the rear lines, feel the weight of waiting, stumble through the trenches, recover the dog tags of fallen comrades, and share your stories with those who still have the strength to speak. Sit down by the fire, tell ghost stories that may or may not be true, and warm yourself at the campfire.

When the time comes, you can choose whether to pull the trigger or not. Every movement brings you closer to the men laughing beside you and falling in front of you. There is no score. No enemy kill count. Only endurance, fleeting friendship, and the fragile hope of getting home. War can take everything, but it also forges bonds. You and your companions are not hardened soldiers, but ordinary people: fishermen, dreamers, storytellers. You cook fish and brew beer in battered pots, laugh at terrible jokes, and huddle together when the silence becomes too oppressive. In the middle of chaos, these small rituals become lifelines, reminders of who you are and who you are fighting beside. What begins as survival turns into brotherhood, and lingers in memory long after the guns fall silent.

Gordon is unbearable and lovable. He always wants to be the center of attention. He cracks jokes and mocks people at the worst possible moments, yet whatever happens, he will always be there for you. Lonnie is a whimsical, dreamy kid who seems to belong nowhere, yet still tries to make the best of himself. Whatever he lacks in military ability, he makes up for with warmth and enthusiasm. He will even tell a spooky story or two to change the mood. Fisher is the middle brother, always smoothing over the arguments between Gordo and Lon, or joining in himself. Faced with the horrors of war, it is up to us to decide whether Fisher is willing to see things for what they are, or whether he retreats into superstition instead. These are the faces you will remember long after Gallipoli.

When night falls, the boundary between reality and imagination begins to blur. Are the shadows in the trench just tricks of the firelight, or spirits drawn toward the living? In The Caribou Trail, folklore and psychological horror intertwine, reflecting the way soldiers searched for meaning in a world that no longer made sense. What you find may not change history, but it might change you.

The Caribou Trail launches on May 14 for PlayStation 5 and PC.
