Trench Tales

Trench Tales is a solo third-person game set in a bleak, war-scarred world shaped by strange forces. Summoned without explanation, you play a lone warrior who explores hostile terrain, uncovers buried truths and confronts the powers keeping the realm in chaos. The story uses minimal dialogue and cutscenes, with much of its narrative told through the environment.

The war-scarred world

The interconnected zones contain endless trenches, ruined bunkers and shattered landscapes beneath a heavy sky. Industrial machinery, Gothic remnants and surreal horrors shape a setting inspired by the aesthetics of the great wars, with an atmosphere of dread, decay and ongoing conflict.

Explore and fight

You navigate the zones, assess your surroundings, use cover and exploit enemy weaknesses. Combat combines melee and ranged weapons with abilities; encounters call for choosing weapons and powers to suit the situation.

Powers and abilities

You can unlock powers to slow time, unleash bursts of energy and heal wounds quickly. Visionary sight lets you see through walls to reveal hidden pathways and enemy positions, helping you plan your approach.

Weapons and gear

The arsenal includes handguns, machine guns, sniper rifles and heavy weapons. You can scavenge and upgrade gear, and customize firearms by modifying barrels, stocks, scopes and grips. Silencers support stealth, while recoil-reducing attachments help with control; the available modifications can also improve accuracy and stability.
