Independence, Missouri to the Willamette Valley — 2,000 miles of river, dust, weather, and consequence. Name your people. Choose how you'll feed them, how hard you'll push them, and who you trust on the way. Everyone you lose gets a grave with their name on it. Everyone who arrives is a story you wrote.
Real tradeoffs, not skins. Money buys safety early; skills pay off for 2,000 miles.
Five travelers. You'll know these names by the Blue Mountains — that's the point.
Solo journey · the trail itself is the opponent · a full crossing takes about 25–40 minutes · every single day asks something of you.
The whole tree, visible from the start — no hidden tiers, no surprises. Nothing in Trailbound is sold. Not now, not ever. Every unlock below is earned by playing, and everything it adds is extra: the base game — all five original professions, every trail, every ending — is complete and ungated. Unlocks persist in this browser between visits.
Independence outfitters, April 1848. Spend it all and you'll starve rich; spend too little and the trail collects the difference. Weight limit: 2,400 lb in the wagon bed.
You need at least 2 oxen to move at all. Forts along the way restock — at trail prices.
