What's New in The Oregano Trail

1.2.0

September 11, 2026

The trail just got longer, and a little meaner. - Classic journey is now the default: seven-day turns, every landmark a stop, and you watch the wagon cover the miles - Rations count per person per day, so a hungry party is a real problem - As in 1848, when the party leader dies, the journey is over - New Trail Records page keeps your runs, wins, and a graveyard of everyone you lost - The general store keyboard finally lets you leave - Anonymous play stats help tune the balance; switch them off any time in Settings

You skip so much and it so easy it’s like a one and done thing

Response from developer

I'm sorry this free, ad-free game isn't hard enough for you. Thanks for the feedback.

Not an accurate depiction.

As an og Oregon Trail top ten scorer, this game fell well short of my standards. It was nothing like my experience on the trail, and my people kept dying with no dysentery. I completed the quest in less than two minutes, a time that gives no justice to the many months our ancestors foraged and risked their lives for a new beginning. Oregano Trail has dishonored their legacy and I will not tolerate another minute (which would’ve gotten me halfway). I am EXTREMELY disappointed and have spent more time writing this than I did completing the game.

Sorry for your loss.

The original Oregon trail would actually show people walking to their next location and eating their food and stuff but then I play this and when you hit continue instantly next

A longer version is coming as soon as Apple review completes (which started last weekend). Hopefully you can play it again once the updates come and review again.
