About Black Trail
The Old West is coming to life with this VR exclusive action/shooter game! Black Trail will put you in the middle of pure good old western action in an intense war story.
It’s the gold rush era. Native people attacked the Snake Canyon mine just after a few days when white men discovered ancient artifacts. Jack, an old bounty hunter, and White Eagle, a respected warrior are after the same artifacts for different reasons.
Switch between Jack and White Eagle throughout the chapters, use unique, historic weapons, fight hundreds of men in a wide old west world and change the fate of the war.

Game Features
EVER CHANGING GAMEPLAYBlack Trail offers a non-repetitive gaming experience thanks to its distinctive chapters. In every chapter, you will switch between Jack and White Eagle, equip a new set of weapons and fight against a different enemy while discovering a new environment.
UNIQUE WEAPON-ITEM COMBINATIONSIn every chapter of Black Trail, you will be given a new weapon-item combination and a new task. Every weapon is chosen for its distinct using technique which will turn every chapter into a new and unique fighting experience. You will master your new weapon.
A DUAL-SIDED STORY WITH NARRATIONThere are always two sides to every story. Black Trail’s story is told via fully narrated and animated shorts in-between chapters from Jack’s and White Eagle’s perspectives. Jack is an old, careless bounty hunter and White Eagle is a passionate, vengeful warband leader. They are trying to capture newly discovered ancient artifacts as they fight against each other, time, and hundreds of enemies.
REALISTIC MECHANICSLever your rifle, throw axes, shield from incoming bullets, reload your six-shooter, draw your bow, turn the hand crank of a Gatling gun… Weapons and items are created as close to real-life mechanics as possible with a smooth VR experience in mind.
MULTIPLE MOVEMENT OPTIONSDiscovering wide old-west environments while being able to fight against hundreds of enemies requires natural-feeling mobility in Virtual Reality. In Black Trail, you are not limited to one type of locomotion; you will be able to walk and teleport anytime you want. This dual mechanic will provide you lifelike mobility as you fight, take cover, or search for ammo while minimizing the effects of motion sickness.
OLD-WEST INSPIRED ENVIRONMENTS & REALISTIC GRAPHICSClear an occupied western town, fight through a moving military train, walk into the depths of a gold mine… Delicately designed, old-west inspired environments, realistic graphics, and the power of virtual reality will make you a part of the era.
END GAME MODE: BOUNTY HUNT!Unlock the Bounty Hunt after the main campaign and earn bounties when you kill in style and find timed bounty bags. Use the money to create new weapon-enhancement combinations, and compete with other players to become a legend!
