The Trail is a third person perspective adventure game. Basically one way, I just gather items and just proceed ... ...


There are lots of elements that make the journey of the player excavated, such as trade with other players in the road, making items, etc. It is a little surprising that basic play is free.


Also, when it reaches the place called "Eden Falls", it is characterized by purchasing land and growing the city in cooperation with other players, it is a slightly different game from then.


You can see the adventure while walking with Tech Tec in a beautiful landscape from the following movie.

I tried a new game "The Trail" by a legendary game designer who made popular · theme park · dungeon keeper etc - YouTube


When you start the game, choose the character you want to play by entering your name and playing.


The early stage is safe because there are tutorial characters that explain the game system. When you swipe the character from the bottom to the top, the character starts walking with Tech Tec.


Grinding the screen moves the camera, but the character goes straight. It is one road which can not go to another place etc.


When the journey started, we decided to walk down the mountain road.


One of the charm of The Trail was a rather simple music and a beautiful landscape. It's not a game full of speed like fighting enemies and puzzles, but if you like games that will fully enjoy the atmosphere of chill and the world, it seems like it. Furthermore, when walking, the physical strength indicated by the heart at the upper left of the screen decreases little by little.


When I walked to Hiratakara Tech Tec, I arrived at the campground. As you approach, the camping ground will be forcibly entered and you can restore your physical strength by staying.


Go back to the trip again when the break is over.


When I was walking I found items floating in the air. Items can be used for crafts and trade to make other items. To take items, just swipe to the bag you see at the bottom of the screen is ok.


You can check the contents of the bag by opening the bag on the bottom left. The number of items that can be carried is not decided, just carry it in a bag.


While picking up items, when I arrive at the next campsite, I encounter a woman wearing a hat.


This woman orders the player a quest. Quest basically gets a "recipe" for crafting new items if you collect specific items. There are quests that are categorized into four categories, "explorer", "merchant", "woodcutter", "hunter", and up to one quest can be accepted. If you clear the ordered quest, you will be able to receive the next quest.


The progress status of the quest can be confirmed from the red bird displayed at the lower left of the screen. In the case of images, it is the state that seven of the 13 shells necessary for clearing are collected.


When you leave the campground, you will walk again. The early stage is best to collect all the items that I have noticed.


Items other than the shell of the quest object are also picked up.


Furthermore, if life becomes zero in the middle of walking ... ...


Patriot and falls. When the life becomes zero, it is necessary to wait with the paid item reviving or falling down until the life recovers. As it falls out, items rush out of the bag every few seconds, so it is better to move carefully so that life will not go to zero. Items that jumped out will be picked up by other players who passed the street, but if you flip inside out, others will fall, you can snatch items for that person. In addition, it seems that other players may recover their lives, but this time play did not see players to help them.


To recover your life, you can use recovery items items. Open the bag, press and hold the recovery item "apples" and tap the knife and fork icons to recover the life.


Early versions should proceed without problems, but there is also 14.4 km to the destination "Ede Falls". From the campground to the next campground it is roughly 500 m to 800 m, and if you are playing normally it will take around 2 - 3 min.


I will try "craft" at this campsite.


"Craft" is an action to synthesize items picked up and create new items. Items that can be made are based on the recipe you obtained by clearing the quest. This time I will try to create a "simple moccasin" that I got by clearing quests that collect seashells. It is an item necessary for craft that is displayed slightly in the squares arranged in nine rows ......


You can drop the item from the bag by tapping it & hold it in place.


After arranging the necessary number in the square, swipe down the lever on the right side.


This completes the item. "0.4" which is seen as a little is the strength of the item, it will be broken if it becomes zero. In addition, "3s" means "You will be able to use items in the remaining 3 seconds."


"Simple Moccassin" made, items of shoes. Tap the clothes icon on the right side of the screen to wear a moccasin.


It is OK if you drop the moccasins in your bag to the shoe icon. Items that can be worn are "hats" "bags" "coats" "trousers" "shoes" in all five. If you are wearing clothes, various effects such as increase of life, reduction of life reduction speed, improvement of walking speed, etc. are given.


In addition, if clothes get frustrated, you will be traveling with a single pant as shown in the image below.


Another thing that can be done at the campground is "trade". Trade trades items with other players, and you can get "Chits" in the game currency. You can see the trade with other players from the following movie.

The k of the new game "The Trail" by legendary game designer looks something like this - YouTube


Trade will be done on a belt conveyor going to the right. First, drop the item you want to sell on the belt conveyor with tap & hold.


The dropped item will flow towards the right. It is the trade partner that is displayed at the top of the screen.


If the luck is good the trade partner will purchase the item.


However, in most cases other players will not purchase items.


The item placed on the belt conveyor will lower the price as it goes to the right on the belt, and the trade failure will fail as it goes to the far right. However, do not worry because you can get the minimum amount.


When the opponent player places an item he / she wants, you can purchase it simply by putting the item in his bag with tap & hold. The price goes cheaper the more you go to the right, there are possibilities that other players will be bought, so this neighborhood is the point of bargaining.


When the branch in the red frame of the screen reaches the most right, the trade time is over.


Every time trade ends, a special present is given to the person who gave the most profit during the trade, so it is better to positively aim for the first place.


Items crafted from items picked up are traded at overwhelmingly high prices. For that reason, the early stage should be able to play the game smoothly as you proceed while cycling in the order of "item collection", "craft" and "trade".


Also, if you get the recipe you will be able to make items to use to collect items. On the screen below I tried to make "stone ax".


A stone ax is an item that can get items by cutting a "broken tree" appearing in the road. Tap "broken tree" ......


The tree is displayed on the full screen.


By doing swipe from left to right in this state, we will perform action to hit a stone ax to the tree. One swipe is entered with one swipe, and five to six swipes are required before it can cut down. In addition, each time you swipe, the durability of the stone axes displayed at the lower right of the screen decreases, and when it becomes zero, it becomes useless.


When chopping a tree, 3 to 5 items appeared from inside the tree. This number will vary from time to time.


Items for hunting are not only stone axes but also "sling shots" for hunting rabbits.


A sling shot is a weapon that stones a stone towards a target. It is more difficult to precisely target a rabbit flying around Pyokopico.


When I continued my journey I arrived at a big river. To cross the river you need to purchase a 800 ticket payment ticket. If Chits are missing, you will go back the way and collect items and earn money with trade or purchase tickets with pay items. However, if you are playing normally, you should have 800 Chits at this point. If Chits are missing, you can go back the way and collect items and earn money with trade or purchase tickets with pay items. If you are playing normally, you should have 800 Chits at this point.


After crossing the river, I will aim for Eden Falls again on foot.


Craft items and trade ......


We will properly advance the adventure by properly crafting clothes so that life will not go away.


Furthermore, as you travel, characters like samba dancers may run. When you tap the samba dancer, the screen switches and the advertisement video is played, you can get valuable items when you see it to the end.


Raccoons also appeared as characters that can get valuable items. As raccoons hide around players after appearing, you can find valuable items by finding them and swiping them just like items.


I met the river again at 2.6 km left to Eden Falls. Tickets for crossing this river need "5000 Chits". At this point, 5000 Chits was quite expensive, and the shortage at playing time was 3717 Chits, it was not enough at all.


In order to earn money, I will go back to the camp I've been through and start over.


Collect items to earn 5,000 Chits ......


Hunt animals ......


Crafting expensive item as much as possible and selling it in trade several hours.


Finally I could earn 5000 Chits. Because I could only earn 200-400 Chits in a single transaction, it was a hard time to save 5000 Chits.


Crossing the river is a bit further down to Eden Falls.


Finally I arrived at Eden Falls. There are several towns in Eden Falls and we will settle in one of them. Select "Stonewall" this time.


As you swipe the town where various players are already building a house ......


I found a land "on sale". Tap the sign "on sale" ......


It is possible to purchase the land. The price was "1000 Chits".


Finally to be part of the city. From here we will upgrade our own house and purchase furniture to make the house bigger and contribute to the development of the city.


When purchasing land, the white curtain under construction came out ......


A small house was built though it was small. Tap to put it in the house.


First tap furniture.


First you can set up level 1 furniture.


"Floor" where you can set up lugs besides furniture ... ...


"Walls" where windows can be installed ......


There are "accessories" that can install foliage plants, and so on, you can customize it freely.


When we installed rugs, windows, shelves, the room became luxurious.


In addition, the "shelf" that can be installed first can store collected items. However, as the name of "Share", other residents of the city can use their own shelf, so if you leave the item, it may be used by other players.


It is convenient at such time as "private chest". Since the private chest has a key, there is no worry that items will be used by other players.


Chits and items are necessary to buy furniture and upgrade the house. Items will still be collected by walking through the mountains as usual. In addition, new roads will emerge after Eden Falls, and items that can be collected will also increase rapidly. If the number of items that can be collected increases, the recipe of the craft will also increase, making it possible to create more sophisticated items.


I went back and forth many times and I got items necessary for upgrading my house. Enter inside the house and tap "Upgrade" on the left side of the screen.


Set the item in the same way as the craft and pull the lever ......


The house will be under construction.


When construction was over, the house grew a little bit. Upon upgrading the house, you will be able to purchase high level furniture.


Although it is not unlocked in the current city, there are buildings such as "store" and "lumber storage place" in the town, and when unlocked the new function will be released. As the city grows it becomes possible to get married, have a home, or develop your own business.


"The Trail" is basic game free, it is unbelievably varied elements packed up, and it is a game full of responses enough to answer. Before and after reaching Eden Falls, it is also the point that what you can do is completely different. However, to reach Eden Falls, it is necessary to play for at least several hours. I have played slowly this time and it took about 8 hours, but if I play it efficiently it will be able to reach in 3 to 4 hours. If you use items sold for a fee you can reach sooner, but it is also recommended to play with Mattari without charging. Dare to say, although it is localized in Japanese, there are many places which are not "Japanese translation", so I would like to expect improvement in the future.
